Date of birth:

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

I was about 14. It was the beginning of the personnal computing for everyone
with the ZX81.

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

ZX81 : Basic programming
Amiga : Zics, gfx, code, games
PC : Fuck, Break, Drop from a window
Linux : Seriously

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

I was musician (But I still practice !!!), I discovered the capability of the
Amiga's sound and i said 'WOOOHHAAAAA That great'. As a musician, my first
interest was sound. At first, I didn't gave any interest with demo scene.
later, for fun, I asked to a guy working in a game shop if he known a band
looking for a ziker : it was Anakeen, the leader of Concept ! I didn't know!
I discover that world, gfx and coding, new friends and some bastard.

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

Soundtracker, futuretracker, startrekker, noisetracker, multitracker,
protracker. I think noise was my favorite.

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

None :-), maybe "god's addict" and the song of 'pourquoi faire simple quand
on peut faire compliqué'. I gived interest with guitares sounds.

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

All my first ones and the NHP songs.

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

game : atmosphere ... But in demo, it's a mistery.
Sometime i wondered why that guys plays tunes of demos rather than playing a
CD (I meen their no challenge in tekno composition)? Tekno definitively bored
me to death. I was fade up with the 'boom..boom..'from him and the 'boom..bomm..'
from other. In the demo scene, if your music is not 'boom..boom..' style :
you're dead.

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

No, and Professional doesn't pay enough.

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

The quality is impressive, naturraly. but theire's no 'magic touch' as
yesterday. Nowadays you must have big systems, big sounds, a mini studio to
make music. When i remember the ships sounds ...

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

I was a great fan of Nuke.

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

No.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Slayer, Fear Factory, Mr Bungle, Bjork, Incubus, Weather report, ...

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

Fun, friends, good times.

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

No.

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

Stay fun !
Don't buy a $ >< B O >< $.
Bill sucks your brain, your money, your privacy. Buffy against Bil !
Fuck window$, be Linux ...
Amiga rules !!!
