1-How did your interest for computers start? Which year was that?

In the beginning of the 80s

2-What machines did you previously have? What did you do with them?

Previously to what? In 1987 I got a c64 and in 1988 I got an amiga 500.

3-For what specific reason did you end up making music rather than gfx, coding?

Music is the universal language of love.

4-Which composing programs have you been using? Which one in particular?

Balboa (hi Vito!) Music Routine on c64. Soundtracker and later on Protracker
on amiga.

5-With which module did you feel you had reached your goal?

Shower of Love and R.O.T.O.R. After Dark and some more...

6-Is there a tune you would like not to remember? For What reason?

My rave-stuff from 93-95 are a bit too much...
But all of my modules are my children.

7-In your opinion, what's the value of a music in a demo, game?

It's the most valuable element!
I made some music for a polish gamehouse in 1991, but never
got any money! They did a cargame of some sort.

8-At present, are you still composing? For professional or leisure purposes?

I'm always composing something in my head. Some of it ends up as music,
and some of that ends up being released for the public.

9-What do you think of today's pieces of music such as mpeg,wave,midi,etc...?

Only modules matter.

10-Could you tell us some of your all times favourite tunes?

Firefox, Uncle tom did some nice tunes.

I recently released a cassette 'Dr.Vector: Made in Italy - the best of
Guillermo Blanco'
through a finnish label -> http://shitsuck.cjb.net

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Koto, Jarre, Herbie Hancock - all that good stuff from the '80s!

13-What does/did the amiga/c64 scene give you?

A forum for me to express my love.
I am a terminal of love - love coming from the God.

No... but maybe I'll return...
