hello again!! can you link me a couple of your songs that you'd like me to listen to? cheers

hello @balancelost thank you for your kind and supportive post-FAWM message are you still around?

Dude. What can I say? I love that you've taken a new and fresh approach to FAWM this year. I think you've knocked it out of the park! The way the tracks intertwine and blend together is so impressive. The production throughout is so good too. This is such an impressive achievement.

Right then, time to work my way through your epic creation. I cannot wait! Let the commenting begin (sorry it's taken so long).

Thank you for the details! Really interesting, congrats on doing that during FAWM. And thank you for your comments, much appreciated!

You're welcome! I had the intuition that I was going to hear something special. Ambient, Avant-Garde, Psychedelic stuff etc, it's easy to create very long pieces, but this kind of stuff? It requires insane creativity to keep it interesting, and that's why nobody does it. I had to keep my feedback short because of the limited number of characters in the comment field (and also because I commented in real time), but I hope it shows my appreciation for the crazy work you did. How many hours did you spend on this? Also, if I may ask, what made you want to commit to such a project? And before I forget, thank you for your comments as well!

Heyo. I avoided posting songs since they were coming out very "mid". (If I'm allowed to say "mid".) They're still mid but less locked.

Thanks for the comment on Dead Hizaru, from drums I usually use Addictive Drummer 2, mix and match the drums from a 70’s Dry, a jazz kit and their Dead Drums kits run through UA Ampex Mastering Tape plugin with some bus comp and EQ

Thanks! I think the tech has come a long way since the days of karaoke "guitars", haha. It's painstaking stuff, but at least it's in time (unlike my own palm-muting attempts)

Sure why not! I’ll see if anything pops out. You’re on Whatsapp aren’t you? Could pop a link on there

Hey Pete! I'd love it if you want to add some stuff to my tune, "Look Out." Thanks! I haven't done a collab in ages :) Let me know the best way to get it to you. I can make it downloadable too.

Yep, I was 100% trying to write a Gorillaz song. Caught red-handed. And yes, I've seen that Clint Eastwood video too. I love the bit where Damon presses the fill button and it plays the only other part of the song!

Re my guitar tone, Louise got me one of these for xmas:

It means I no longer have to either mic up an amp or DI straight after my pedal board. Plus, I can have an effects loop, which neither of my amps have.

hello, thanks for being nice and all that!

I would sort of like to take you up on your offer a bit, as I'm so bad at tiddlywinks. Secondarily I have some music related questions too. I sent a message on your facebook page, hopefully your PR managers will allow you to see it eventually

I can potentially come up with something this weekend! but if you got something first before that, feel free to send it my way [email protected]

Thanks - vocals, well that'll be the result of some light editing/doubling and in some cases, an actual vocoder mixed in there 😂

I enjoyed them! and awesome about the collab. do u have any ideas/ smthing that inspired u recently? how do u usually start a collab? I could with send something first, or hop on anything u have in mind (i could add piano, voice, harmonies, etc? :) )

hey, thank you for your feedback on 'Argil', 'Cozy Critters' and kind words! listening to to the rest of your tracks and loving them. would u be open to collabs? :D

protest songs are meant to be evocative, right?! ha, thank you for the sass on our song. - ru

Haha I'd mostly agree with you there unless you're talking about hip-hop or pop.. whilst I'd still prefer live instrumentation, I don't mind it just being vocals live if it's a good show. My Spook Muziek set up is live vocals only, but I do lean into the fact both onstage and on my socials. Plus if I ever "made it", I'd absolutely be either pulling together a band, or having some big elaborate show. The gaslighting thing was more around me taking the mick out of people who thinking anything outside of guitars isn't authentic music :D

Wow, intriguing concept. Definitely count me in!

🛥️ I’m ready (I’m not)

BLOSTYYYY! One long song instead of fourteen eh? Interesting but the site rules say fourteen songs so you are unfortunately CANCELLED, MUTED and BLOCKED. Anyway looking forward to hearing this epic, may your FAWM be filled with wonderful experiences and incredible memories.

Check you out with the concept! I've always thought there was a touch of the Rick Wakeman about you.

Oh what an exciting concept! I look forward to it

Wow sounds excellent happy fawming
