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?

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

Ofcoz, amiga rocks! :D
