Bio

This fawm is going to be the most challenging one I've ever attempted, with the least auspicious conditions and very little time. So if I make it to 14,5 this year, I'll be twice as happy and proud as usual.

5th time fawmer, singer and guitarist, dabbling with other instruments and any device that may produce sounds and noise.
I'm fond of shoegaze, although I mostly record ambient / experimental music now.
Also known as Joanne Gabriel.

Plan for this year :
1) I haven't had a proper space to make music for two years, and at the moment my job soaks up a tremendous amount of time and energy, so my wonderful boyfriend offered me to convert the livingroom into a home studio for one month.
2) The only way for me to achieve this stands in a few words : "Keep it simple, keep it short."
And now THAT is a real challenge, as I've mainly been recording very long tracks with tons of layers in the past 3 years.

Let's see what happens

Sorry for being so late at commenting back! I'm trying to catch up, thank you all

Sorry, I've been away ajusting to my new job & have only got back here today - a month later. Anyway, I hope to listen to more of your wonderful output tonight. Am currently listening to Like An Inner Fire & am once again blown away by your talent & sense of emotion - especially how you are able to express it on your instrument.

Woah, comment explosion! Thank you! And how have we STILL not done a collaboration?

It's always a pleasure to listen to your stuff! I am a bit behind too, but I'll definitely be back to catch up - listening frenzy this weekend!

Hey, thanks for busting the zong on my son's song. Yeah, pretty cacophonous, especially the drums, but I thought his guitar part was remarkably coherent

You are probably sleeping at this hour, but just emailed you a link to a WAV file. Let me know if you don't get it.
kenficara 2 months ago

Yay! Funny, I'm working on something right now -- a very evil bass loop. I'm going to put some samples over it but there's plenty else that could be done with it! Your email hasn't changed, has it? I'll send it later tonight.

All of your stuff is awesome! I really love the soundscapes. I have a fascination with the universe and this is so fitting.
candle 3 months ago

No problem. Don't rush on the comments (for my sake at least). I know you have a lot of time constraints. Do what you can do & go from there.

Just to let you know, your Black Hole inspired a song of my own: Careful What You Say *26181. Let me know what you think.

I am looking forward to more more your output this year. I've enjoyed your first five songs immensely!

Thanks for the comment my friend. I remember that comment you made last year about me writing love songs. It's been in my mind ever since. It's the reaon that prompted me to write that one as a love song. Thanks for the inspiration.

Cat!!!! Great to see you back, I was just listening to the Jukebox and a song came up that vaguely reminded me of my favorite ethereal FAWMer! Heading to check out Nebulae right now...

vous etre trop fort, j'aime bien les chanson sur bandcamp, faut que vous continuer.
lightpeak 3 months ago

Yep! Anyone who lists shoegaze on their profile has inevitable heard Loveless The first time I listened to it I was lying down with my eyes closed and all the buried sounds brought to mind these huge, architecturally impossible towers on an abandoned alien landscape. I only saw it that first time, but your track gave me a hint of it once more!
kenficara 3 months ago

Hey there -- welcome back! Sorry I've been so out of touch. Rough year here too, but hoping I can pour some of that into songs this year. Wanna work on a .5 together?
candle 3 months ago

It's the time limitation that makes FAWM so interesting… at least for me.

On ce vera dans les ombres…
candle 3 months ago

Yeah, & sometimes limitations are just that: limitations

Sometimes limitations are the best inspirations. As always, looking forward to your output.

February is the perfect month for songwriting isolation. I would really like to do at least a handful of tunes, but it's looking quite unlikely. I think I will be more of a listener than a performer this year.
kevinreid 3 months ago

Big plans for FAWM this year? I always look forward to hearing you, most of all!
marklberry 3 months ago

Joanne,
I'm excited to hear what comes from France this year. I'll be listening.
Cheers! MLB

Hey, good to see you back. I like me some short songs. The golden FAWMsong window is like between 2 and 3 minutes long.
looprication 3 months ago

Hello hello! I know you're pretty busy this year, but hope dies last. And you don't have to finish, ya know...

Hope to hear your creations in February, or any other month.

Hullo! Are you and Mojo around this year? Happy 2012 to you!
