tsand20175	Date: May 7, 2007 @ 9:17 PM did your parents play any instruments?
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: May 7, 2007 @ 9:40 PM whose record would you most like to guest appear on?
hate9wicket	Date: May 7, 2007 @ 9:44 PM Dont' try to think about when I ask this but....when you track, how often do you have to bounce things down, and how do you decide what parts get sub grouped and where? Basically, How do you get a bunch of guitars sounding like a symphony?
Woof	Date: May 7, 2007 @ 10:09 PM I really am curious... What led to exploration of these arrangements with the types of classical music that you record? I mean, did this begin with a love of classical music, the challenge of putting it in more of a rock context, or both? Would you ever consider doing Gershwin? What is your opinion of the Prog artists who chose to "mutate" their classical influences... like Emerson, Wakeman, Howe, and Hackett? Where do you see experimental music going in the next five years? And finally... If you had to pick two or three artists who have released recordings for the majors over the last forty years or so who were true visionaries, who would they be?
Tattoomom	Date: May 7, 2007 @ 10:47 PM How do you balance your desire to be a musician with the real life world of having to earn a living?
HenriRoger	Date: May 8, 2007 @ 10:39 AM At what age did you start playing the guitar ? Did you have classical lessons ? Do you play live music ? How many guitars do you own ?
tsand20175	Date: May 9, 2007 @ 2:18 AM do you do any finger exercises?

shutyatrap	Date: May 10, 2007 @ 5:07 PM Hey Dan, You profile has grown hugely in recent times and you are starting to get attention from all kinds of sources. Does this give you an added preasure when it comes to song creation or does it inspire you even more to create original ideas?
Saxsinger	Date: May 10, 2007 @ 9:37 PM Who's your favorite sax player ?
jess1561	Date: May 11, 2007 @ 6:59 PM What first inspired you to dabble in music? And what inspires you now?
Matthew	Date: May 12, 2007 @ 2:42 PM 1: Your recordings are very complicated with many layers, how do you get such a clear sound when a novice might assume you would also be layering the noise on each track as well as the music? 2: How long did it take you to record the Hallelujah Chorus? 3: What's your favourite pedal!!! 4: The music you create now is pretty off the beaten track, was there ever a time when you recorded straight forward covers? Which was your first one? 5: What was the first album you bought? (hehe I always like this one in magazines cos they're usually dumb, mine was The Muppet Show Album, I still have it and used to sample off it when I was a DJ quite some years ago). 6: What is your next project and have you any new recording ideas you're going to try out on it? 7: Do you get cold hard cash for your sponsorship deals or loads of free stuff...or both? How did you come by your deals? (Well done by the way!)
add45	Date: May 12, 2007 @ 2:45 PM What's your dream amplifier? Dream guitar?
dsindel	Date: May 12, 2007 @ 11:22 PM "Thank You" everyone for such great questions... Many of these are thought provoking and quite challenging and I look forward to seeing how this will develop! DM ROCKS..!
baiko	Date: May 13, 2007 @ 5:49 AM - What programm do you use for recordings? - Do you sing? - Do you plan to play some Requiem ? (Mozzart, Verdi, Mahler) - When will we invent teleport?
leflaw	Date: May 13, 2007 @ 9:26 AM Do you play any "classical Instruments"? How did you get into classical music? Do you read music? What over styles do you play
GreatGooglyM...	Date: May 13, 2007 @ 12:14 PM When will you play Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu? How's the independent LA music scene today? Do you get gigs?
independentm...	Date: May 13, 2007 @ 1:03 PM Besides DMusic, what other sites and online resources do you use to promote yourself? Which sites and online things seem to be working?
Mojosnake	Date: May 15, 2007 @ 5:54 PM if you do read music do you transpose the original score to guitar or is this more of a by ear thing ?
aorpete	Date: May 15, 2007 @ 6:55 PM Hey Buddy, Did you have guitar lessons or are you self taught? When I did GCSE music (at school)the first composition I wrote was a baroque peice - what was the first ever musical peice you wrote? Do you play using fingers or a pick or even both? & which do you prefer? Better stop there you already have a ton of question to answer...
dsindel	Date: May 30, 2007 @ 12:10 AM Israfel has chosen the questions to be used in the interview and I personally want to thank each and every one of you fine people for participating and I will make it a point to answer each question asked of me right here in this thread... You guys took the time to ask and I will be more than happy to answer each question in full, to the best of my ability. Sincerely, Dan
Engine11RDenny	Date: May 31, 2007 @ 8:55 PM My question a little late is still relevant: obviously being schooled were you allowed to implement hard rock into your lessons - homework - tests and is this how you came about transposing/transmuting Classical to Rock which you do flawlessly and with amazing flow - or flawless flow as it were....?
evansorchid	Date: June 1, 2007 @ 11:07 PM Has the new interview been posted yet?
Israfel	Date: June 2, 2007 @ 1:22 AM I submitted it. It just hasn't been posted yet. All I can do is submit and wait....
Israfel	Date: June 2, 2007 @ 7:42 PM Hellooo? Not sure what's happening...Dan's interview was submitted. Someone wake up in there!
dsindel	Date: June 8, 2007 @ 1:33 AM I just wanted to thank everybody once again for making the June "in the Spotlight" such a great event for me to be able to participate in... Within the next week or so I promise to come back here and answer the Q's that did not make it to the final draft.
