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

  • I'm using computers since I was 5 years old. I remember that my first
    computer was a Spectrun Zx +II which was very nice but after some years
    Spectrum was old so I decided to buy an a500 and then it was when I
    discovered the fabulous Amiga Scene and ofcoz the sceners.

    I was interest in the computers bcoz as a young child I liked to play
    games and after I start to code a bit in Basic but I saw that it wasn't for
    me so finally I took the way of the music and really I love it!


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

  • As I said before I had a Spectrum +2 which is hide under my bed ;D. After
    I buy an A500 bcoz I read some words about it in some mags and I liked it so
    I decided to buy my little A500 although it's a bit old, I continue working
    with him sometimes ;P... And now... and now... I have an a1200 30/50FPU,
    32Mb, etc, etc...


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

  • Hmmm... It's happen in Posadas Party'95. I only used to swap with some
    dudes but when I visited my first party (Posadas Party), my spirit changed a
    lot bcoz there were a lot of people composing, painting, coding, etc... I
    tried to paint, I tried to code, but finally I decided to start with the
    music bcoz I liked it a lot and I had some friend whose were musician so
    they help my a bit.


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

  • Usually I use Octamed V4.0. I know that it's an old, old version of this
    program but for me it's the best. Well, really OctamedV4.0 is the tracker I
    use for compose but when I save it as 'mod' format, the program never save
    the finetunes so then I have to load Protracker and put again all the
    finetunes.

    Also I have used sometimes Octamed Soundstudio but only for my
    multichannels although really I prefer only 4channels, it's better, no? :D


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

  • Hmmmm... It's not a easy question but what can I said?... I love my
    newest tunes bcoz my oldest tunes suxx really ;P


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

  • Yeah, a lot!!! but if I put all my mods I wouldn't like to remember I
    wouldn't have free ks in my Hd for save this interview ;P


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

  • For me it's the most important after the speed of the effects (1frame
    rules)


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

  • Yeah, I colabored in the Strangers Game by Vulcan Software and actually I
    working for a Pc game which will be out very soon, I hope it'll be ready for
    Summer'98.


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

  • In four words: 'The world is changing'


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

  • Hmm... sincerely I love tunes from Jester, Clawz, Lizardking, the old
    legends although actually I like too some tunes from Muffler, Revisq, Pink,
    etc...


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

  • Yes, I'm working for get some of money and after I'll try to buy some
    machines for compose tunes for a Audio Cd with a good quality.


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • Crystal Method, Prodigy, The Latin Raphsody, Moby, Obk, Metallica, and
    some disco music as Sash!.


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

  • Friends, inspiration and music.


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

  • Ofcoz, amiga rocks! :D


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

  • Ufff! if I put all my greets here, surely the interview will be very long
    so I greet to all my friends... they know who are. (Hi dodz!) ;D
