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

  • I am a kid that grew with the first home computers. I started with an Alice from
    Matra, in 1984 as far as I remember. Then I got an Amstrad cpc 6128 and a
    pc 386. Afterwards I started to be interested in the Amiga and the Atari.


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

  • I am mostly a gamer :-) on Alice I was creating programs in BASIC in order
    to have little games I could save on an audio tape. Later with the CPC
    6128, Atari STE and Amiga 600 I was mostly playing. With the PC I was mostly
    working with word processing, accounting sofware (I used to be an accountant).
    With the second PC (a 486 sx25) I started paiting graphics, doing 3D and soundtrack
    musics.


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

  • Because I wasn't competent in any other fields. :) I did code in BASIC and
    Turbo Pascal but I wasn't googd and franckly I wasn't too interrested either.


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

  • Mainly with Fasttracker, it was simply and not too bugged.


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

  • "deadline" and "mambo" I think. But I must admit that I have mainly been composing
    silly songs that were simply meant to give a good laugh to my friends. They were joke
    songs that I did for my close friends so people out of that circle could hardly appreciate
    them.


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

  • Apart from some tunes I wouldn't like to remember any of the tunes I have composed.
    I was motivated but I was also seriously lacking artistic feelings. I must confess
    that I have some difficulties to listen to those tunes again. :)


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

  • Essential, music gives the pace of a demo. Coding performances aren't of any
    interest if music doesn't participate in the timing. Cohesion of a demo and its
    attractiveness is linked to its music. Same goes in demos as in films, for the
    same reasons.


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

  • Nope, I have totally stopped composing. It used to be a good way to take part in
    an community (demomakers). I joined the scene for its friendly and sympathetic
    atmosphere. I only wanted to participate so when I started to leave the scene I
    naturaly stopped composing.


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

  • I am no longer in the scene but I still like almost any of those. I don't have too
    many things to say on that matter.


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

  • I have a bad memory with names. I only remember that it is the same as the
    one Torin of Melon Dezign adores. He happens to be my taste master on that matter. :)


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

  • None of them. :)


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • The yopla team 100% internet rule


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

  • That's out of my sight.


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

  • Not at all.


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

  • A big hello to all member of silicon that sadly I haven't heard from for ages.
