Interview No. 85
Interview By: @Atlas
Today we have a great artists from the audio portal by the name of SpaceWhale.
Q: How did you find Newgrounds and how did you join?
A: I found Newgrounds from a website called "ThatVideoGameSite". I came here in '06, but signed up a year later.
Q: You have 14 art pieces on your profile. Do you want to be able to submit to the art portal?
A: Definitely! I love drawing, and I do it at any time I get, being able to OFFICIALLY submit would be awesome, since people could tell me how to get better.
Q: Most people know you for your music but you also have 3 solo projects on how to use FL Studio. I watched the first one and I discovered much from it. Are you proud to say you made those?
A: Sort of, haha. The quality on them isn't great, and they were really rushed since I had a 5 minute cap on the recording, since I had used the demo of Jing.
Q: You currently have six albums released. Do you think the albums sold well?
A: To be honest, not really. They've gotten an average of 5 downloads each, and that's not that many. But, that's at least something.
Q: Is "The Freq" a band with other people or is it a one man band?
A: I do all of my music myself. I use to be in my brother's band (Mr. Antagonist), but now I just work alone.
Q: You have a variety of genres of music made which is your favorite?
A: Ugh, that's a tough one! I would have to decide between dubstep and house. Dubstep really makes me get creative with my sounds, and house is soulful and playful.
Q: You also have made many Dubstep songs. Do you like Dubstep or is Dubstep just easy to make?
A: I make dubstep since it's fun! It's a challenge trying to make a complex song and still have it sound interesting without it being overly-complicated.
Q: Is your username SpaceWhale based off the song you made?
A: Actually, it's the opposite. At the time, I felt I needed a theme song. My artist alias has since changed, but the song remains one of my favorites. c:
Q: Do you think you are one of Newgrounds Elite when it comes to audio?
A: Definitely not! I am far away from that.
Q: You have at the moment 278 audio submissions since 1/07/2010. Why do you have so many songs?
A: Mainly because I upload a lot of tests and WIPs, but I am trying to move away from doing that.
Q: Who is your favorite musician on Newgrounds?
A: Agh, that's a tough one! If I HAD to pick one, It'd be SmithCommaJohn. His music is just so weird, but awesome at the same time.
Q: What can we expect from SpaceWhale in the future?
A: I don't know, actually! I'm constantly trying to do different genres, so if any new ones pop up then you should expect some from me. Other than that, just expect more music, I guess. :P
It seems SpaceWhale loves music and will make more music through the years so best of luck to him on his musical journey.

I love his lo-fi, subtractive synthesis, glitch music. He is pretty underated in my opinion.
Also, review KingBastard. He is one of the best musicians on the site.
