It was at school for some education programs... then for personnal use when I bought (well, my parents bought) my first machine, an Amstrad CPC 6128. I first owned a CPC 6128, then an Amiga 500, an Amiga 1200 and finally a few PC's. In the beginning on CPC, drawing was my favorite activity... until the day I discovered Soundtracker, which made me buy my Amiga 500 ! I think I was simply amazed to hear the possibilities of Soundtracker on Amiga: using samples, easy composing... it was just great! So I worked hard on it... As I told you, I mainly used Soundtracker, then Protracker on Amiga and Fasttracker on PC. More recently I had fun with programs like Rebirth, Fruity Loops or Acid... Pretty hard to answer... Considering "the scene" and my contribution to a demo it's the soundtrack of "Real": "Cyberotica" and "Help tha fool" are clean and complementary, even if I consider they are not my best tunes. Considering the music itself, I think that a module like "Out of control" is more representative of my mood and my way of composing. Well... there are so many ! :) But talking about a tune released in a demo, I think that "Space" is the one I don't like at all: too "obvious", with no real interest and bad samples... it happens! In my view, the music is making (or not) the demo smashing and powerful. For example, "Hardwired" was a successful demo not only for its coding and design aspects, but also thanks to the ambiance Jesper Kyd tune brought to the demo. In a game, it takes totally part of the mood you're in when you play it: just remember the musics from "The Secret of Monkey Island" and you directly go back in the ambiance of the game. I don't compose full tunes for about 4 years ... but I'm now playing guitar for pleasure, but who knows ?! I still have a few ideas for a track or two... Well, no matter the form ! I love to listen to midi files from Zelda (yes, the game) or a good old SID chiptune or an MP3 with full stereo and reverb and stuff ! Nostalgic time :) I love the great standards from Audiomonster ("Florence" for example) or Heatbeat ("Scrambled mind") but I think THE module I prefer is "Banana Split" from Dizzy: technique, sense of groove and melody... juste the kind of tune I always dreamt to compose :) It's not planned at all... but it would certainly be funny to re-play some of my old modules on guitar... unplugged style you see ! I'm mainly listen to rock bands: Skunk Anansie, Smashing Pumpkins, Noir Désir, Eiffel... but I also like various artists like Massive Attack, No Doubt, Daft Punk... Of course it gave my the taste for music composing... and also many friends and mates (Titan, Gengis...) NOT at all. But I enjoy having a looking sometimes on some scene sites... First of all, I send a big kiss to my newborn daughter Morgane, who was born on June the 13th 2003, and to my beloved wife Sabine. Hello to all my scene friends around the globe: Titan, Gengis, O'Menor, Oxbab, Mon, Keio, Chromag, Juergen from BTTR, Stargazer, Audiomonster, Moby, Delorean... all those I forget now... and you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- please note: this interview is ©opyrighted in 2003 by crown of cryptoburners ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
