Date of birth:

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

It started playing arcade games in the 80s.

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

Amiga 500, 2000, 4000. I've done some gfx, several music mods, some ascii
tags and collection. I did with a couple of friends an ascii fanzine too.
I've been a sysop of a bbs first named Trackland which contained mods only,
then Trackalnd become Qbism which contained more then 20 different conferences
and files area.

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

I've an audiophile daddy, so I've listened to the music since my born :)

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

I've used a bit of Music-X, but mostly I've used trackers. The one I preferred
was ProTracker 2.3d.

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

I like a pair of them, like TFBEYOND.MOD and YOSPACE.MOD and some chip tunes.
But I haven't actually reached any goal :)

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

Several tunes I did in a hurry without care.

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

I suppose the musical part of something is important to get into it.

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

Actually I'm composing just a bit 'cause of time matters. I've released only
a pair of rebirth tunes and a synth piece composed and recorded live from
scratch.

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

Wave is the best, but it's a huge format. Mpeg is an honest compression format,
not the best but the most shared. Midi is fun but the result of it depends on
the hardware that plays it. Non-Amiga-Tracker format like fast tracker are not
very good, because of internal mixing of bad quality... There are several kind
of music done with several formats. For sharing a music I think compressed
format is the best.

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

Too many :)

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

Maybe in the future I'd like to do some new music from scratch.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

I love em:t discs, it's a pity they've close.

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

Lot of fun

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

Scene as most old sceners have known is dead. Maybe internet is too dispersive.

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

Every friend and every freak I met in the good days :)
