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

It was around 1989/1990 when my father bought an A500 which was meant to be
used for his work. Actually he never used it because my brother and I where
always on it !! The first demo i've seen was RED SECTOR MEGADEMO... I wanted
to know how these guys made such a work (graphics, music, code)

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

None

Soundtracker,Noisetracker, Protracker V2.3b.

No, not really, they all mean something to me a feeling, a memory.

The music gives the mood, the atmosphere, the style of a demo / game.

games and Nokia Serie 60 phones games

And I'm also a drummer in a blues band.

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