4-track-summer
There was a discussion about trying to exchange some cassettes also outside of FAWM over the summer.
fawm.org will close soon and the exchange of information will get a little difficult with all the copying&pasting of email-addresses i thought we could try and organise ourselves with the help of this email-mailinglist (like in the good old days ;o) .
This mailinglist is limited to maximum 100 participants, so please only sign up if you want to actively contribute, collaborate and participate.
…if you’re interested please sign up with your email-address at https://groups.io/g/cassette

While i make music for a couple of decades now, i am unfortunately still not a real musician - not at all - nevertheless i really-really enjoy being an active part in creative collaborations and making music.

Thanks for the listen and comment on our collab "You Can Breathe When You Are Free" appreciate you!
My pleasure, Chris. I’m glad you got back to me in time as it turned out better than I thought. I got back from a night out (and a fair bit of wine) and couldn’t wait to get cracking at it. I had a lot of fun, posted it up and then starfished on the bed and passed out.
I’m super glad you like it. There’s a certain responsibility to try not to stink up someone’s already great track but I think it came out quite nicely.
Re: the additional space, I thought so too at first but I like that the vocals end when the glitched trumpets (which I love) come in and I managed to leave one other short bit towards the end before the outro.
Let’s hope we get a few listens. It always goes pretty quiet in March.
Thanks again.
so glad you finally got the original postcard! the deep orange color was not faithfully represented in the photo (and that is my favorite color so glad you could see the real color - though perhaps the painting itself is also different when seen in person , and perhaps further different from when first painted since red tones fade more easily than other colors). Change is the only constant!
Hi Chris, great to hear you liked my ‘fake it’ challenge tune! I did it so fast that I’m not sure if it’s a disaster or not yet. 😅😊
Ps both your tapes arrived today and I had a quick listen. Sound really interesting and looking forward to adding my bits. I won’t have time until the weekend now but have added holding spots ready to upload.
Hey, thanks and yeah, it would have been easier if I’d asked you to record some footage at the time. I’ll probably just do it again from scratch and make a 2nd version (explaining the process as I go). I could then include a link to our original mix in the description if that’s okay with you guys?
Ps would you like to add any info about the ideas behind the lyrics?
Hi there, thanks for the comment on Nights with Orion, just thought you'd like to know i have put s demo up for it. https://write.fawm.org/songs/314230
Will email!
No, thank you for letting me jump aboard so late in the day! I think the finished song is amazing - thrilled to have been involved! I'm happy to send you badges too if you'd like a couple - just email me an address, and I'll send them over! Badges are almost my favourite thing about the 4-track collaborations, and this year's are nicely tape-themed!
Hey @fairplay glad you’re happy with the way tape 16 turned out and cool lyrics!
Did you 3D print those cassette tape cases yourself? Nice touch, and I think I’d also like a Polaroid camera now too. 😀😆
Hi
Thank you so much for commenting and liking the lyrics/song --- My days with your smile. Thanks again. I took a production course from Forest Whitehead --https://musiccityplaybook.com/#COURSES-- that made the process easy, fun and less time consuming. Sincerely Schantell--Redlady
Just sent yuou track C of the 4 track digital challenge Group 7. Have fun!
No Problem :) it happens!
your card(s) arrived today! thank you!
Emailed the PC. Please confirm receipt and hope the original finds its way to you one day!
Hi @fairplay. I need a liaising address form you for Ta.pe 13 which is ready to ship out. Contact me at [email protected] Cheers.
Yes I got the wrong profile although I hit my german words on a profile who does understand german. Happy FAWMing! Greetings from Germany, Bensheim. Eva
Hey, I'm sorry, try that one: [email protected] and let me know if you get through. Having problems with gmail lately. Thanks for letting me know!
Are you a hypothetical musician? Ethereal musician? Imaginary musician? I think those are all real musicians, but then I think all sound is music whether the birds, the trains, boots when walking…chewing food, you get the drift. Don’t discount yourself, just do. If you listen to some of my tracks, you’ll know I shoulda punched myself instead of putting them up! But…gotta get it out, you know?
Sorry, went off a bit now didn’t I? Sore-Ty
Thx for the postcard update. Mail is slower than it used to be but I’m hopeful it will arrive tomorrow. If not, I could send you a photo of it-not ideal-but possible if we are thwarted by the USPs.
Hi! I got the Digital 4-track from @lowhum (B) with a massive bass track, over drums from @moggzy (A). I might be a couple days getting to this 'cause there are a couple other songs in the pipeline this weekend. But it won't be long! Thinking about adding keys / synths. Do you have a preference? Vocals or ...?
Hey @fairplay email sent for the acapella challenge, let me know if you got it.
Hi there,
I just uploaded a very late entry for your "Take a Look in the Mirror" Skirmish.
The email link doesn't seem to be working?
Heya! I'm going to work on the tape tomorrow! Can you send me the address for your hotel in Denver? I'll try to ship it by Friday.
FAWM on!
Thanks for the skirmish prompt! I enjoyed writing a song to that one!
Thank you for listening and commenting- I appreciate it.
Hello! Nice to meet you and thank you for your generous feedback on my song :-)!!! Looking very much forward to the collaboration. Til later then.
Excellent. I look forward to hearing it!
Thanks for checking out my song and your kind words! All the best to you!
Thanks for the nice comment on the daffodils song!
Hey I’ve recorded my parts for our 8 track collaboration! What’s your details again for postage? My email is [email protected]
Thank you for your very kind words on "Beignet Tiki bar".
Thank you for the listen and your kind comment about I Remember Too Much.
Thanks a lot! I'm doing both vocals on the demo of "Into The Abyss" (just a different technique), but I could imagine working with two vocalists in the final version. Glad you enjoyed.
Danke fürs hören und den lieben Kommentar! 🙏
Hey there and welcome back! I‘d really enjoy a collab with you, lets see if we can make it happen this year :)
Well hello to you!! It’s going to be a good one again this year. I LOVE your 4 track machine! I had a Tascam 244 back in the day which was similar. I think that I could start something (as long as I get my 488 back soon) and send it out. Not sure if anyone in Europe has an 8 track, but we can see. I look forward to hearing your music and enjoying the month!
thanks for the modular/303 info... i started getting into modular during COVID lockdown (although amazingly i didn't touch it at all this FAWM). it never occurred to me that there would be hardware video modules as well as audio. do you have a modulargrid link or just a pointer to the video modules? i probably don't want to go down that rabbit hole, but still curious. 😅
EDIT: i'm guessing the erogenous tones "structure sd" is the main module for visuals.
