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

Around 1983, playing games on a C= Vic20.

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

Thomson TO9, Amiga 500. Programming.

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

ProTracker is an easy way for everyone to discover what you are capable about music.

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

Protracker, FastTrackerII

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

None, I never tried to reach my limit, just experiencing music.

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

No, even for bad tunes, I don't waste space in my mind for them!

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

When the time pass, the soundtrack is what remain.

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

Last thing I did with mods is a software that converts soundtracker modules to
4 channels square wave playern, to be implemented in a homemade electronic pcb.
Otherwise I like to print on midi partition of computer songs and pratice them
on piano..

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

Things go normalized by professionnal software, and the tech environment does not
anymore influence a global music genre.

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

Cyberride and Roots songs by Jester

11-Are you planning to make an audio cd with some of your music remastered?

No way! my tunes don't deserve a CD!

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

my classics are Beastie Boys, Q-bert, Primus, White zombies

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

I find interresting in Amiga/c64 songs to have a bit more of melodies than in other forms
of electronic music. I like new compositions based on C64 HardSID based with these so
familiar raw sounds.

14-Are you still active in the scene these days?

Still observing what's going on

15-Anyone to greet? Anything left to say? Feel free...

Greets to Silicon and X-men members.
