Date of birth:

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

It was round 1992 more or less, when I convinced my father to buy me a pc
(he said I was too young for one ).

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

My parents did not wanna buy me any machines, so my first pc was a 386DX,
bought in 1993 I think.

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

I don't know, I first run scream tracker and it was lots of fun... but I
think that I decided to be a musician since I first heard the soundtrack of
Second Reality... ( I thought, hey, I have the same program with wich this
people made this piece of music !! )

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

I began with Scream Tracker 3, then Impulse Tracker appeared and still today
is my favourite music tool, but also I am trying with Reason, Rebirth and so.

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

With none of them. Yeah it is sad to say but I don't know if someday I could
plasm the things in my mind exactly as I want them.

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

mmmmm I don't think so, even if they are bad I'd like to remember them for
not doing that again =).

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

well, I think it is very important. It transmits sensations along with the
graphics... I mean, you can't have a good prod with great music and awful
graphics, and you can't have a good prod with bad music and great graphics.
I think all the components of a production must reach the level of the best
thing on it.

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

yeah I am still composing, for the love of art.

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

well, I am a tracker :p

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

sure. "Purple Sky" - Purple Motion, "Starshine" - Purple Motion, "Chill out
Zone" - Norfair, "Haiku" - dont remember the author "nobody dreaming" -
dune ... and so on

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

maybe, who knows.

12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

Now I am listening basically ambient jazz, big beat such fatboy slim, groove
armada, basement jax and some house tracks.

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

I am very sad that I did not live those feelings. But I think that it brings
me... love to da scene.

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

sure, and we are a very young group yet.

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

Thanks for this interview, my greetings to shash, madgoblin, shock, b52,
dar, josSs, trace, yero, sml and all the rest spanish scene.
Also kisses to my family.
