Date of birth:

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

interstert for computers, began when I was a little kid, 3-4 years old, with
a very old machine, Commodore Vic20, and, after, Commodore 16 and C64...it
was 1987

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

Received, as xmas gift, a commodore 16, that I used like a console,
ovvioulsy, the only thing that I was able to do, was playing videogames... I
used lot of commodore machines, but the Amiga, an IBM ps/2 386, a 486
100mhz, assembled by me, a P200, a PII 350, and now, a P4 1700.

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

coding? Because, I'm the worst designer in world, so, gfx isn't for me, and
coding...uhm...i just started since 4 months to use c++ ;)))

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

favourite programs were: Fast Tracker II, and, I'm still using it... Cool
edit Pro, GoldWave. Now I started to use Reason plus lots of
softsynths...like reaktor, vaz, and still more...

5-With which module did you feel you had reached your goal? I dont know...

maybe I never reached my goal?! ;))

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

TriP99 multichannel entry...because it was my release in a party, so, the
song was full of bugs, and, stupid ways of tracking...

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

nothing without control... so... a greate demo/game, without a good
soundtrack, is nothing...

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

Now, I'm studying, university, so, I haven't so much spare time... btw, i'm
still composing for professional and leisure purposes... i'm playing live
somewhere in Pisa, discopubs or parties, and i'm working on a new cd, of
electronic music...from experimental Ambient to drum&bass, from Dance to
Trance...

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

i never used midi... mpeg is a great format, but my favourite is Xm.

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

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

already done...

12-What bands are you currently listenning to? Chemical Brothers, Prodigy,

Air, Jamiroquai,Subsonica, Enigma, Ben Diamond, Dimitri from Paris, Alex
Gopher, Bob Sinclair, Stevie Wonder, Barry White, Sophie Zelmani, Rino
Gaetano, many more...

13-What does/did the amiga/c64 scene give you? the passion I have for

computers... and... lots of sid/mod... ;))))

14-Are you still active in the scene these days? Yes, I'm a nuller :)) but

very soon I will release 3 songs...one mp3 and two xm...

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

Claudia(you are the sunshine of my life...) greetz to all italian demoscene,
and, in partic. VkM78,Rio, Liz,DiXan, Dylan, It-Alien, Gecco, Spillo, Damè,
Ken, Musta, DrDavid ... ... ... everyone I met... everyone I know...I love
you all.. Post scriptum: If someone is intersted to collaborate with me,
finishing this fucking Cd of electronic/experimental music, please, let me
know, via phone,via mail or via Irc... 10x. ciccilleju.
