Introducing. . .

tracy	Date: November 16, 2006 @ 4:26 PM The Spotlight Forum " id="251791"> Coming Soon: The Spotlight with Israfel We are proud to announce that in the next few weeks, Israfel will be starting a series of interviews exclusive to DMusic. Each month, one artist will be chosen and interviewed, giving them an opportunity to tell their story while also promoting their music to the public. This artist will also get a feature spotlight on page 1. While harassing the staff will definitely not earn you an interview, you can still have an important role in each article. We will post each month’s selected interviewee in the forums and then invite the community to post any questions for the artist. Though we know the community’s great sense of humor, we ask that you keep these questions focused on their music, the industry, and their experience on our site. Not every question will be ultimately asked in the interview, so make them good! The artists will be chosen based on a combination of their musical talents, positively received responses from the DMusic community, suggestions from the community in the forums, and activity/dedication to DMusic. Start posting your suggestions at The Spotlight Forum
imemine	Date: November 16, 2006 @ 7:03 PM "While harassing the staff will definitely not earn you an interview" I would like a specific “spotlight” for just that. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Regards, Ime
Israfel	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 8:51 AM The first interview with be with: (Drumroll please....) Saxsinger http://saxsinger.dmusic.net/ Go check out his music, and if you have suggestions for interview questions post them here so that I can possible use them in the actual interview. This is great way to learn more about the people on DM, their music, their recording process or equipment...so put your thinking caps on! The interviewee will not answer the questions here in the forum but rather in a text format as a news article later on. And he will be a featured artist too!
DeadraveN	Date: November 17, 2006 @ 11:52 AM hmmmm interestink.. this li'l ol' feature could be purty kick ass.
Israfel	Date: November 18, 2006 @ 12:50 PM Come on, you guys, what are your questions for saxsinger?
Rodrica	Date: November 19, 2006 @ 7:52 AM I've got a few... 1. I believe you have played live...tell us more about the sort of gigs and the music/people you played with. 2. What type of music do you prefer to play/listen to? 3. Are you optimistic about the future of music? 4. How do you think the internet has altered the path of music as an industry? 5. Who has inspired you the most? 6. Your playing is amazing...How did you learn to play the sax and keyboards? 7. You have a great voice...Have you ever had voice coaching or are you self-taught?
Israfel	Date: November 21, 2006 @ 5:13 AM thanks for the questions, Rodrica!
evansorchid	Date: November 21, 2006 @ 3:20 PM What the heck.... 1) Do you have a pet name for your sax? 2) Is there a slang term for the little puddle of saliva that forms inside a horn? 3) Do you think Bill Clinton was a decent saxophonist?
Israfel	Date: November 22, 2006 @ 11:30 AM Thanks for the questions! Keep 'em coming!
HenriRoger	Date: November 22, 2006 @ 3:15 PM Do you have neighbors ?
Snoogans775	Date: November 22, 2006 @ 8:47 PM why did Pluto get left out? now it's gonna develop a complex.
Snoogans775	Date: November 22, 2006 @ 8:49 PM but seriously 1. what advice would you give younger musicians? 2. what are your favorite internet music resources? syntax should be rephrased but izz is smooth enough to handle that, ssssss.
Distilled1	Date: November 23, 2006 @ 10:24 AM 1. what have you found to be the easiest way to work with colabs. (what is the best way to keep each track seperate what file types tend to work the best ?)
HenriRoger	Date: November 23, 2006 @ 3:46 PM This is going to be a book not an interview
Israfel	Date: November 24, 2006 @ 5:57 AM I'll try to use as many of your questions as I can but it may not be possible to use them all! Thanks for all of the ideas though!
AbortiveMind	Date: November 26, 2006 @ 7:09 AM Am I too late? Can I ask a question too Do you have any preference for a type of sax (alto - soprano - tenor - bariton ) ?
Israfel	Date: November 27, 2006 @ 10:22 AM Not too late. I am away in Sweden at the moment so I will compile the final questions and commence to writing sometime next week when I return.
GTOriginal	Date: November 29, 2006 @ 7:58 AM My questions if chosen would be: 1) Give us your thoughts on your DMusic experience so far, from the standpoint of both artist and user. 2) Do you know of any good software synthesizer to mimic a sax sound for those of us that can't play but still want the timbre in out stuff? (I use Edirol VSC which is great BUT the horns still sound kinda fake so I just avoid 'em altogether)
Israfel	Date: December 5, 2006 @ 8:19 PM Yay! The first interview is up!
