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

Was blessed with a c64 in 88...

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

None before the 64...played games until i got the amiga...

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

Well, i can draw too, but suck at maths...music was the most fun tough...

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

For demos.....only protracker...for other music bars and pipes for a while

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

Can't remember really...sorry

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

Same as above...

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

All the aspects. coding, gfx and music must come together to create a whole!!

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

Well, sort of professional music composer/player...need to have a job on the side tough

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

Don't seek out much stuff, but i'm sure there is good stuff created in all formats..

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

To many to single out any one....

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

It's a nice idea, but frankly, i don't remember i made any quality stuff during
the protracker years.....it really was a learning period...

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I'd say right now: Frank Zappa, Monk, Undisputed truth, Bach and Ozric tentacles...

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

It'was great fun, creative enviroment and you got the opportunity to meet
some quite bizzare people sometimes!!

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

No, haven't been for many years...

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

I still do music, now with a band. Come and visit us at www.myspace.com/skomm.....see you out there!!

Nice meeting you Jean, keep up the good work and lets stay in touch!!
