Date of birth:

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

1980 or so, my uncle had an Atari 800. Before that, I noticed arcade games.

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

Commodore Plus/4. Like most kids, I made some little 'demos' using BASIC!

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

I tried everything, but I'd say gfx was what I was "best" at. But I still sucked.

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

I liked Octamed because it was easiest... Octamed has a lot to answer for.

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

Never made anything worth listening to.

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

All of them!

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

It's the glue that holds it all together.

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

Sometimes I play with the tracker thing on my mobile phone.

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

MP3 was always going to make things more interesting - I remember towards the late 90's the

mods were getting so BIG that it would often make them a smaller size to convert to mp3.

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

Guitar slinger, synth-o-matic

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

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, Bowie, Juliana Hatfield!

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

Good times, and some frustrations

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

Not since about 99, but I didn't release anything apart from a comedy intro!

I was more of a "scene commentator" although I was a bad writer.
I'm a much better writer now, but have no concept of what the scene is today.

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

Greets to Parsec, macno, gdm, hei-di, cygnus, melomniac, azazel, kaneda, buzz, paddywack, anda whole bunch of
people who's handle's I can't quite remember!
