Date of birth:

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

First of all, sorry for my english!
Hmmm, think in 1991 or so... when i see the first personal computer and the first
music program.

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

Well, my first personal computer was a ZX-Spectrum 48k, and i start to make
some noise using "Wham! the music box", a program with... 2 channels!!!
My first tracked music of course using an amiga 500 (of a friend of mine,
luty)... some easy oldskool songs in the a-500

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

Dunno... i like the music everywhere, music in films, music in games, music in
demos... and when i discover the first music program in the old Zx... wow!!!

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

In the spectrum, i used "Wham! The music Box" and a lot of dissabled music
routines. Protracker in Amiga-500, and in the PC scene, well, I'm a really
fan-atic fan of triton fast-tracker (from version 1 to 2.09) but actually i
can't use it (W2k here) and must try with Madtracker and Sk@le tracker.

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

Hmmm... well, in chiptune, i prefer "Fuck Da Ripper" and "HappyNext", and of
course "Da Feelin' " in multichannel... ah! i like "Heavy Lethal" in 4 Chn
oldskool :)

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

Not to remember...? hmmm... lemme see... nop!
Reason...? Don't remember ;)

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

Well, music helps you to have a deepest feeling

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

Hehehe... no time for pleasure... life is hard, but trying to track some
minutes at week :)

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

Think is great to share music (commercial music :) in mp3 format, but the real
scener feeling has .MOD .XM .IT .S3M extension. I like to "see" the patterns of
a good theme!

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

In the scener music, i like Oldskool tunes... favourites... well, let's see
some classical modfiles... Streets of Venice (Norfair), Knulla Kuuk (Moby),
Aquaphobia & Second Reality (Purple Motion), Catch That Goblin (Skaven),
Metaphysia (16Beat), Phantasmagoria (4Mat), Hysteria (AudioMonster), April
Snow (Anders Akerheden), Uralvolgafine (Bruno), Banana Split & Girl Of Ipanema
(Dizzy), Moongazer & Laidback (DrAwesome), Broken Coins (Dreamer)... Pfff list
could be "infinite". Actually i like all reed's tunes, and

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

Sure... in a future when free time comes to me!

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Lot of Jazz-Fusion bands, like Rippingtons, Acoustic Alchemy, Pat Metheny
Group, Najee, Tom Scott and a lot of actual groups like U2, Hootie & The
Blowfish, Garbage, Supergrass, Spin Doctors, Lenny Kravitz... well, a lot of
them. I really like all da good music!

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

Wtf! This music kick asSs!

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

Well, just trying to be active, but as i said... real life is hard and i have no
free time :(

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