Date of birth:

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

Uh.... 1981? From the beguining, i was interested by the creative side of
computers. So, i used to code games in basic when i was a kid.

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

An Msx (basic), an Atari St (music, code, gfx), an amiga (gfx, some modules),
and then, some Pcs (gfx only)

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

Actually, i'm a graphic artist, so making music was just a hobby for me.

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

Protracker

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

uhhh... i didn't....

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

I don't think i ever wrote something worth remembering

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

Music can contribute to create mood and rythm to demos, games, movies...
So it's definitly important.

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

I'm not. I'm making graphics for videogames, and i work in the comic industry too.
I choose to do what i'm good at.

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

From a musical and technical point of view, it's fantastic. There's no limit.
But the interest of modules and demos on Amiga came from the technical
limitations. Without limitation, i find it less interesting.

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

"Banana split" by Di33y
Everything else by Di33y
"florence" by Audiomonster

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

Nope

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Radiohead, Prefuse73, Gabriel Fauré, blonde redhead, Bill evans

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

I learn basic processes like pixel drawing, how a computer really work,
technical limitations, as well as team work with coders and musicians. So,
basicly i learnt my job. And of course, meeting other people was cool.

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

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

Gr33tzzz elitzzz 2 "ReFlEx" héééé comment ça vaaaaa????
