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

it was in 1982, I was addicted to videogames and very proud with my
colecovision. but one day
a friend of mine invit me to see his computer. it was a ZX Spectrum and I
was really fill with
wonder with this thing and coding became quickly a passion. so I asked my
parents to do an effort
to buy me at least a ZX81. Today I'm system administrator. that would never
have been possible
if I didn't have all these computers in the past...

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

ZX SPECTRUM+, C64, AMSTRADCPC, ATARI ST, AMIGA 500, AMIGA 600, AMIGA 1200 &
CD32...
coding until I own the Amiga 500 and a friend of mine show me how to make
noise with Soundtracker.

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

I was also coding and doing gfx

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

Soundtracker & Protracker

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

I never reached my goal because I did not have objectives. I was doing this
because it was
a passion and adored to spend my time in front of my computer.

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

each of them are a part of my stade of mind of the moment. even if some of
them are
awful.

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

it add rythm to the code...I really enjoyed the last amiga demos where the
code is synchronized with the music.

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

Yes I'm composing for my leisure, I make also remixes for remix64.com.

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

today they are a lot of tools to do music, and with mpeg and wav we can't
see anymore how
the musician did a fantastic effects...not for copying, but just to learn
and progress.

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

there is too much of it. I like the very first mods of the amiga. they make
me dreams.
I can remember hearing them on my walkman at school..

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

no.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

30 seconds to mars, The used....

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

you can't imagine...lot of things...music was a passion but the amiga gave
me the
possibility of making music and of course learning to do it.

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

I'm doing some covers of C64 musics.
