During the 80's appeared a phenomenon called "Demoscene", where people from all over the world could combine their skill to produce some sort of videoclips, on personal computers. Programmers, graphic designers and musicians could express their talent, and spread it all over the world, without even the not yet existing internet, but only by making copies of their work, over and over, to the more people they could, with the help of modems, or even by real mails...

My composer career began in the Demoscene, on "Commodore Amiga" computer, as the handle of "Audiomonster", when I started to use the famous "4 monophonic channels / 8 bits sound" sequencer called "Soundtracker", and to have fun playing with it from 1989 to 1994.
This leaded me to be quickly and directly classified at first place of "Eurocharts", classment of programmers, graphic designers and musicians, written on 3 1/2 floppy discs, and spreaded all over by the same meanings.

Finally, I think I can say Demoscene will have allowed me to make music become my full time passionate job, after beeing a simple hobby.

Here are most of the productions I were involved in...
