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

    • In 1983 when my parent bought my first game system, the "vectrex".
    Two years laters I started using the computers of my school (MO5)
    and then ask for a C64 ... The story began there.


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

    • I had a C64 for a long time. I really love that computer.
    I played a lot on it, and tried to program it, without any success
    (I was surely too young and I was lacking of help and infos).
    I had then an ATARI ST, but I quickly changed for an AMIGA 500.
    Some years later I bought an AMIGA 1200 when my 500 died.
    I still have my 1200 and my C64 ...


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

    • In fact I'm a coder that has made some musics :-)


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

    • I started with the first soundtracker and then protracker.
    I was also using protracker as a sequencer for my KORG M1 synthesizer.


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

    • "Globacitose" because it sounds nice and I made all the sounds.


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

    • Many ... I do not have any artistic feelings so my compositions were quite
    mathematic !!!


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

    • Music and sounds are very important in multimedia products.
    For a demo, music is surely 50% of the total feelings that people receive.
    This is the same thing for a game.


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

    • I'm not composing anymore, but I'm a profesional game developper (I've worked
    on 2 released games for playstiation2).


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

    • Tools are more powerful than before. There are no limits now. The only limit
    is the musician imagination.


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

    • "OccSanGeen" by Uncle Tom
    "Dog eat dog" by Teborid / Hawk
    "The unnamable" by Tebirod / Hawk

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

    • no


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

    • A bit of everything.


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

    • A really happy childhood !
    I met a lot of nice people and had lot of fun.


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

    • No, but I'm now trying to create C64 intros !! Better late than never.


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