A Little History...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I'm Blue and I've been using Med for absolutely ages. I first came across Med when I bought a second hand Amiga 500 that came with a box full of software. At the bottom of the box was a floppy disk with a program called 'OctaMED Professional V3'. I realised then I was going to need a bigger computer so with in a few days I sold the A500 and scrounged a bit of cash from my folks and went and purchased a brand new A1200.  I was instantly hooked. Up until then, I had been using an Atari ST 520 running Steinberg's' Pro 24 (V3). I was desperate to expand my sound. Thanks to Med, I did. I connected my synth to my ST and the Amiga and was making tunes almost everyday for years to come. Admittedly, they were really bad but at the time... you always thought they were hot!

Fast forward a few years...

I was getting needy. I wanted more. A friend bought me and wife a PC as a wedding gift a few years ago. It was an AMD 350mhz machine with basic memory of 128meg. I thought it was the bee's knees. After a few months of pottering around I finally discovered the internet... and found Med straight away! I was over the moon when I found out that there was a PC version of Med and ordered it straight away! And the rest is history really. I found it just as easy as the Amiga version but so much more powerful. Again, the old adage of "I'm going to need a bigger computer" cropped up again so I upgraded to an AMD 1.2ghz mobo with 512ddram. It didn't end there but that's another story.

With Med...

With Med, I have written music for some computer games, a fashion show, a radio program, a couple of adverts for the radio too and music for my old band, Cyra Elia. I have even had a few tunes played on local and national radio with Med being the core of the music.
I find Med extremely easy to use and I virtually use it in every song I write even if it's just for a rhythm track or a funky bass line, I will  use it. 

Music...

I enjoy writing intelligent ambient music and was number 1 in the Australian MP3.com.au ambient chart for over year in 2002/2003. I've been writing music for over 20 years and I don't really intend to stop. I was signed a couple years ago but not as a solo artist but as a band (Cyra Elia) but we got stung pretty bad so it's put me off going back into the market - but if a good offer came along?
My main ambition is to score a movie or a computer game of the same calibre. I enjoy 'designing' music. Sure, it's easy to write a cheesy dance tune... people have even proven it's easy to write really crap dance music but to write a score to a film or a game of the same ilk would be an amazing achievement.

Other Things...

I currently run the independent Med Support site which is basically just a forum really where Med Users can hang out and exchange ideas, tips, music and samples and such. I also design graphics for forums, websites and other people.

Here is the address for the Support Forum: http://forumer.com/medsupport

When I'm not on the computer, which is rare, I love spending quality time with my wife Rachel. She is my light and she guides me when ever I need it. She is a true inspiration and a great friend and thankfully... a musician too!
