Bio

Em McKeever: classical guitarist gone haywire. That's my tagline, and I'm stickin' to it.

This is my third year of FAWM! It's gonna rock! @natrin and myself do some community organizing centered around this insanity. You can follow the haps by checking out our Delaware FAWM facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/delawarefawm

SILLY SONGS

yep mechanical harmonizations and that inflection in the vocals was probably because I was falling asleep

Congratulations Em! You have earned the crown for most songs recorded and uploaded by a FAWM songwriter in the "Philadelphia Area" (DE, NJ and PA) --a distinction I had the last three years. You have wonderful material, and you perform it well! Very well deserved:)

I may or may not have been fawm-stalking you and I just want to say, you give the BEST comments. That's all see you soooon!

I just listened to your "cop-out" song, and when I tried to post my comment, the whole thing disappeared. I managed to hit the back button and save my comment, so you're gonna hear it from me whether you want to or not.

Not bad at all. Better to try stuff, press through, and get it out there. The piano stuff definitely has some good classical voicing that is nice. The airy synth that comes in toward the end is pretty cool too. You say it sounds frenetic, but it seems understated to me. The little dynamic crescendos are a detailed touch that many wouldn't even consider. Don't give up! Try another one like it!

Thanks Em - fake cello sample present and correct. Some of my best 2011 songs came through FAWM so this year I'm just gonna let it flow!
