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

I'm not one of those kids which started coding asm at the age of 3.
My "interest" for computers started in 1995, I started high school and needed
a computer to make my works, just that. :)

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

I've always used pc's to make the things people use to do, write, code, paint,
model, listen and make music, play...

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

I started making music in 1996, out of the demoscene. Specific reasons? uhmm,
well there was a great modscene here in spain, with contests in some magazines,
and the feeling of making your own sounds and tunes is really nice :)

Actually nowadays I spend most of my time with gfx, rather than music, so I can
say I like all kinds of art.

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

I started with Scream Tracker, and then moved to Impulse. And now I should be
learning Logic, Cubase or some other midi-based programs, but I don't have much
free time, and as I said, I prefer gfx at the moment.

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

Actually I didn't reach any goal, I always felt I could improve and make better
tunes. Without this feeling, I think I won't have make so many modules.

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

uhmmm.. I'm proud of all my tunes. Techno, jazz, ambient or whatever, the earliest
ones and the latest ones. I think everyone of them has something special and
without it, the others wouldn't have been released.

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

Imagine a demo without music. I can't. :]

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

I just compose for demoscene and party contests, where I really enjoy this
hobby.

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

Evolution. But I think every format is a world, and you can love a great
orchestral tune in ogg, and also feel suprised with a 4 channels chiptune.

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