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

Since 1989 I think, I had an Atari Ste 520 for my Christmas Time

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

Atari VCS 2600, Atari 520 Ste, Atari Lynx, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200 and a PC now.

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

I made gfx some years ago but, I prefered play games. I first time make with
noisetracker on Atari then Audio Sculpture. It was great, since this day I
taked less importance on gfx. Now I use Cubase VST on PC even if it never
replace the easy-use and the fun of a tracker tools such as Protracker.

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

I don't now.

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

I have no special opinion, music and gfx are always linked in demo or game. I
can't imagine a game or a demo without music.

Not for now, but maybe later (with Cubase VST, Korg X5DR + Roland XV 5080)

Piracy ... :) well, I always wanted to know how is make a music, It's
impossible with a wave or an mpeg.
