 $INTERVIEW
]           OF FLOOPY / DUNE
]             by SINK / HMD

--------------------------------------

S : Sink
F : Floopy

S : Present yourself, your group and
    your last production .
F : I'm Richard, I'm 19 years old,
    soundtrack and soundchip musician
    and I am in DUNE (20 members)
    which last production is called
    "GRALL" .

S : Have you another computer ?
F : Yes, I got a PC but it it useless
    for what I do .

S : What do you think of the french
    scene ?
F : It's pleasant, friendly, with less
    or plus as ever, it's productif..
    with many parties less or more
    famous like the CRYSTAL (Dune),
    SNORK (Future Minds), ...
    It renew itself without a break
    because now the majority of the
    people wouldn't have anything
    to see with those guys who were
    2 or 3 years ago, proof of pro-
    gress and movement .

S : What do you think about piracy
    groups ?

F : Hard to come down against piracy
    because it can help sometimes
    because when I see the actual
    price of software ... It surely
    wouldn't do the machine moving
    forward .

S : As a musician have you ...... on ST ?

F : I practise already music before
    (I have a keyboard and a guitar).
    In computer, I had a certain app-
    roach of music and it's since I
    hear Moby's modules (Amiga) with
    a particular style that I decide
    to do soundtrack .

S : Is it easier to do music on ST or
    on Amiga ?

F : There's no difference even between
    the softwares because music is a
    personnal thing within you.
    There's no best software because
    there's always plus and minus
    points, the only difference
    should go from the sound output .

S : What do you think of the Amiga in
    general ?

F : That's a very good machine on all
    point of views : demos, graphics,
    games, music, ...
    but as all machines it have some
    weaknesses.

S : Have you an advice to give to all
    people who want to throw them-
    selves into music on ST ?

T : So, don't discourage men !
    All people can arrive at this
    stage ... you need to go and to
    believe in yourself, you wouldn't
    see music as a mathematical stuff
    because it's an art which allows
    everybody to express himself but
    I think unfortunately that every-
    body can talk with music but it's
    harder to make it alive .
 
S : A last word ?

F : Hi to Heavy Metal and Mic with the
    hope that Dune will continue on
    his way in the demo's world .

    If you want musics, or just for
    friendship relations, ask for
    my address at the editorial staff.
