I can't believe that I started fawm as a teenager and now I am 35/36 years old (mid-fawm birthday on the 13th), happily doing music and audio work year-round in my humble little home studio. It's like teen-fawmer-katie's dream come true.

I have a lot of ideas going into this challenge, and I don't exactly know what I will make.

Thank you Katie! I"m really digging 'Idea Machine'

Katie - I love the I can read collaboration so much too. I love the way your daughter knows that singing is a way to address this injustice and process it for herself - and that she enlists you, and lets you know what role she needs you to play.

Thanks! Ya I've been looking for a similar plugin, but so so many options and who knows what you get

Katie - I would LOVE this - I admire what you do so much! My energy seriously pooped out after moving and I think all I'll be managing for the remaining time are skirmishes. But we should definitely, definitely figure out something!

Hi Katie, I did send lyrics straight away a second time! Did you get them ok? I just saw you have a song called rose coloured glasses, must have a listen, I wrote one titled this many years ago and still a fav I still play it out regularly

[avatar]

Hey, I get it. I liked Carrie Brownstein before Portlandia. But my kid didn't like Sleater-Kinney nearly as much as he liked Little Monster Babies lol. Actually he doesn't like Sleater-Kinney at all 😂

I do hope we can agree that Juno is a timeless classic though. Otherwise we may not be able to work together anymore...

Hi Katie, I sent you my message via Bandcamp.

Hi Katie, we are paired for random collaboration round 3. Let's chat about the ideas :)

You're mighty welcome, thanks for sharing a song that spoke to my heart as a parent. To insert a picture, put the URL on its own line. No brackets, no code, just has to be hosted somewhere.

I don't think I do have it 😬 a wav file would be sweet, but whatever is easiest for you. [email protected]

[avatar]

I did send you an email yesterday! I will send something to you shortly.

[avatar]

Ooh! So good! Sounds like Anderson Paak. Love that vibe. Will defintiely be getting them. Thanks so much, Katie!

[avatar]

Thanks for the drum loop info. Inspired me to actually use my SSD5 Free samples since I can't use Logic's drummer in Reaper.

[avatar]

Awesome! Let's do it! What email can I send a link to the song so you can check it out?

[avatar]

Thanks for the comments on my stuff Katie! I’ve been busy, squeezing this in as I can. I’m doing it differently this year. These have been written already (have 12 in all) but I’m arranging and recording (and revising as I go). Looking forward to checking out your stuff this year!

[avatar]

Ah! I thought it might have been iZotope, but assumed maybe Stutter Edit. I love the Vocoder sound. It's one of my favorites, hearing a machine sound human. Worked with VocalSynth2 a little but could never get it to do what I wanted. Will revisit! Thanks!

[avatar]

Hi Katie! Thanks for listening to my song. There are a couple of lines that I was hoping would help pull off the idea that it was going one direction but in fact, the narrator takes it another way.

I was really holding on to this one and felt like I couldn't focus on another song till I finally put it up here. Hopefully I can catch up in the next week. Thanks again.

[avatar]

Been enjoying your songs! Found ya on Apple Music too and listened also to “Cry Now”! Added to my library. A great tune and great production! Keep on keepin’ on!

Just been listening to your songs - beautiful stuff! It seems you have a few collabs happening so you might be too busy, but I'd love to throw my hat in the ring too if you're up for it?

[avatar]

Happy to be here! What are we collabing on? 😂

[avatar]

Hi! I logged in lol

[avatar]

Hey, I just listened to laundry and taxes and I have a pop rock song that I think might fit your vocal style. Would you be interested in checking it out to see if we can do a collab?

[avatar]

Regarding effects in Power To the People part 13, believe it or not it's just freebie VSTs for the guitar sound, one panned a bit left the other to the right. That's it. No widening plugs etc. Heck i didn't even mix the song! Looks like I do a better mix when I don't mix.

[avatar]

Bwahahahahaha

[avatar]

Thank you Katie! I’ve always wanted to write a semi-educational FAWM-specific song. Well, F.U.C., I’ve done it now.

[avatar]

That is so sad, condolences to your toilet

@mace66

Ah, I've been there, done that and bought the t-shirt on toilet unblocking.

For a while it felt like one of my kids would go through a toilet roll every time. Keep practising though, mine still do it and there in their 20s now...

@ltunes

OMG the reveal about your teenager being the inspo for your song. LOVE LOVE ... so relatable (although mine is 23 now 😀 )

Hi Katie. That is amazing that you started doing this as a teen. Really looking forward to hearing what you do this year. Happy fawm!
