Date of birth:

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

it's for in 1991 when a friend of mine showed me hios AMIGA. I've never learned
any music lessons, but Sound Tracker was a impressed me a lot. So I've tried
a lot of time to make a "music" ( more noise than sound actually )

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

AMIGA 500, then only PC. I was a player, but take advantage of ScreamTracker3
for multichannel modules. I've bought a Gravis UltraSound so the samples were
so nice !!!

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

I'm coder too, but music is really a great experience. For now, I play Keyboard,
Bagpipe, Conterbasse, and accordeon lol

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

I'm used to compose with cakewalk / sonar. But I love tracking with Skale
Tracker.

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

I think I 'm not achieving today. I must work msuic hard to make a really geat
song ... :-(

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

Yep ! For a Traditionnal French Folk group, I've composed a music for BagPipe
Hurdy Gurdy and accordeon, but that was an awful experience, the first I've
tried.

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

Gimmicks, Gimmicks and Gimmicks. Nowadays, music is only used for Background.
I remember so many oldskools musics that are in my head and memory. Games
Factory must take care of it ! They must copie what's doing for a Movie
Soundtrack.

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

Yes I'm still composing, for pleasure, but although for games, Folk Music and
for me !

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

a good evolution, but tracking is more difiicult now, because of no really
good tracker program

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

Skaven's Goblin, Tip & Mantronix's Sweet Shop

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

no. but futures musics might.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Mes Souliers sont Rouges

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

The opportunity to make musics

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

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

Yep !
First of all, You ! Thx for keeping all those musics !
Then, JFF for giving me the chance of creating demo-musics
My Wife, to be so patient ...
