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

  • It’s in the 80's when i discover a programmable casio fx602p !


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

  • Fx602p : Code some game on it

    Oric Atmos : Code some applications on it (Drawing progs and musicals progs)

    Amstrad : i do a lot’s of c…. and play a lot !(Hello Jean-Michel from
    Etrechy !!!!)

    Amiga : I get a big chance to get one broken AMIGA 1000 with only 256k. A
    friend repare it and i discover this « never-redone » machine !
    I play a lot(defender of the crown, amegas, hybris, turrican etc.. etc..)
    and start to make some gfx 4 my pleasure with deluxe paint ! and some muzaks
    with AEGIS SONIX(or sonic ?)

    When i discover the musics of SLL and Karsten Obarski, i decide to start
    make muzak with soundtracker ! (At this time there is a lot’s of bug and
    guru meditation !).

    In the same périod, i work in a famous computer shop and start make some
    deal with some crack crews.
    I make also some swapping with some crew like cryptoburners, triangle,
    Scoopex, paranoimia, quartex etc… etc.. At this time i meet a lot’s of
    people because of the stuff !.

    With some friends at this time, we are really arrogant because of the stuff
    and hardware we have 4 free (4 exemple in a copy party we throw, break and
    burn around 100 expensives floppy disks and break a Amiga 500)

    -> I get a fuck demo 4 that ! (Thx Walt and Audiomonster !)

    I do also some code with kseka (Rare !)

    I participe also in some commercials productions (Octamed, Adrennalynn and a
    game in the USA that i can’t remember the name !)


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

  • I love it !


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

  • Noisetracker


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

  • AGES61STIB (I do this muzak after a gift from Quartz !)


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

  • Memorydust / CODEX (Best Amiga composer)
    Perfect rythm, perfect melody, perfects chords !


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

  • When u make a muzaks 4 u’r pleasure, u don’t have any time or commercial
    pressure !
    So u can do what u want and the result is pure joy !
    It's not my job to make muzaks today and i'm really happy of this now
    because i enjoy to do muzak 4 pleasure only .


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

  • Yes i work with only one keyboard (Jean pierre 8000 from Roland)
    I use Reason 3/mod for all the others things i need !


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

  • Good, i love little bitchard.(A signifiant deformation near the cranium is
    my favorite from him)


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

  • War (Rob), Memory dust (Codex), La vie des animaux (Audiomonster)


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

  • Why not ? but i have to re-found all my muzaks !
    Thx 4 the people who send me my old muzaks (Keep on ! Plz)


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Sadist, Mr Bungle, Atrophia Red Sun, Carnival in coal, Francois de roubaix,
    Tim follin commercials
    Georgio And a lots of world muzaks.


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

  • Pure Pleasure ! A job ! and to found a girl at 30 years !


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

  • No ! (Walt don't want me at the party ?) i do know why ?


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

  • My wife and my son (He make a new style of muzak by slapping hard my
    keyboard) !
