Date of birth:

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

I got interested in computers via video games, that was around about 1987.

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

- one Amstrad Cpc 6128, which i sold.

- one Amiga 500" which is still in my possession ;)

- one Atari 520 St, which unfortunately ended up in the garbage bin, even
though it was new ! :( aarrgg!.

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

I already played a musical instrument, the Amiga took over from there on.

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

I started on Sonix Aegis, then i passed into Protracker and i'm still using it.

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

The " Offencyt " module was of great significance to me. It was my first module
to be used in an intro.

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

hum ... none. Really, I can't see.

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

Demos and video games are artistic musical creations which are just as
important as any other. They should be respected in just the same way.

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

I'm still composing and for different aims. I do it for pleasure and also with
a professional slant (records, film scores).

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

Every format has it's own advantages, and it's interesting to have so many at
hand. All you have to do is use them properly.

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

Without hesitation : Enigma, Occ-san-geen, KnullaKuk, Soul Free, Unreal_Dragon,
Purple Shades, Behind The Walls, Visual Distortion, Trabalash, Beat To The Pulp.

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

Yes, it's a very interesting project. I would rather have one of my tunes in
a compilation including several artists.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Infected Mushroom, Enya, Bronski Beat...

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

The Amiga Scene has greatly contributed to my musical creativity and mainly it
has made me want to get a lot of projects underway.

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

I always try to remain active on the scene, at my own rythm.

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

I would like to thank all those who give their energy to preserving scene
continuity and I'd like to say hello to Clawz (who knew me with my other
nickname : Skiller) we were in contact at the time, there you are, that's all.
