  • 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...
