Since I remember, I play the piano, I do not play it with excellence or virtuosity, but playing and creating sounds amuses me, is my passion and it's part of me.

My name is Israel, I grew up in a home where there was always music, and a piano of course. I remember composing from a very young age. My grandfather was the super pianist of the house, from whom I was able to learn the basics.

In 1985, at the age of nine, I made my first program on a Commodore 64 personal computer using BASIC. What this program did was to reproduce an electronic musical work; I was reading from some specialized magazines in the Commodore 64 how to reproduce this type of electronic art.
