Artist Bio

Influences:   Dilettantism and jazz

Note: I know that's not how you spell "zeros". I was going to make something up about it relating to the opposite of "heroes", but... no, I was just having a slightly thick day when I first signed up to FAWM.

I'm Will. I play guitar, piano, bass, ukulele, melodica, and attempt all sorts of other things. I've been writing songs since I was 12, and have done two FAWMs and a 24-hour album, as well as writing and recording loads of songs I've taken a little more time over on my own and with several bands.

If you're only going to listen to one of my songs, and want a cheeky, upbeat one, I'd recommend *686. If you want a slow, serious one, I'd recommend *1074. Somewhere in the middle, there's *279.

Oh, and completely not relevant to my profile, but I am using and loving this FAWM jukebox: http://bunnyherolabs.com/fawm/

  Hi, I loved the fact that you consider me a sincere robot instead of a fake person, that's a great way of looking at it.
  Now I'm able to enjoy my own song a little more, thanks.

  @toms  Mar 3

  Thanks, Will! I am off with the kids to see the Irish Rovers - in Flint, Michigan! - but I promise I will come back and listen to all of your stuff!

• 

  @samsorrow  Mar 2

  thanks for your comments. I've had a bit of a stressful day and to log in and see your 'who put the meow in homeowner though?' really really cracked me up. So thank you.

  @alboe Mar 2

  Thank you for your kind words on "What would Bill Bruford have done".

• 

  @johnstaples  Feb 28

  Will, thanks for listening to Saw A Man and No Second Chances and for your kind words!! I really appreciate that!

• 

  @darcistrutt  Feb 28

  Thank you for visiting and giving "Elvis is from Mars" a comment. It was fun to record! Congratulations on your win!

• 

  @tawalker Feb 27

  Thanks for your comment on my song "Being Your Film" - I'm intrigued about The Free French now! (I've heard of Rhodri Marsden, and their Web site looks intriguing... though if it were a building, it would be half-invisible behind ivy and weeds )

  @tinkerbell  Feb 27

  Thank you for your very lovely comment on Your Own Crown of Thorns (and by the way, not insensitive in the least!). I was touched, and to read that it gave you shivers, well, that's the highest form of compliment to me.

  @valeriecox  Feb 27

  So glad to hear you like the Extraordinary Girls album! Took us forever to complete it, but 'twas fun.
  
  Congrats on 16 songs. I have one more to go for 14. Keeping my fingers crossed for that.

  @zecoop  Feb 27

  Thanks for checking out my "Goes to..." song. It was fun to make a lot of noise with a wall of distorted guitars. It turned out quite different than anything else I did this year, so that's a success in my book. I enjoyed a couple of your songs this morning and will try hard to come back for more. Congrats on the win!!

  @rickamorphis  Feb 27

  Thanks very much for dropping by and leaving those kind words...I'll be checking yours out later when I can listen!

  @colourcodedchaos Feb 22

  In response to your comment on *1430
  That'd be awesome to hear! *hugs* I love hearing what people do with my lyrics.

  @theresaj  Feb 21

  Thanks for listening and commenting on my zombie song!

• 

  @bijoubasil Feb 20

  @fourzeroes i made all those noises into the mic with some kind of effect on top of it but still it's pretty organic. I did some whistling, cheek slapping, bass in monster voice, chewing rice crispy cereal, and vibrating my lips together for the trumpet sound. Very strange ensemble but it works.

  @ahjteam Feb 7

  Thank you for the positive comments and even plugging one of my songs on the forum, really appreciate it

• 

  @lonelyrobot  Feb 7

  Ah bless ya! Thanks man. I'll be re-recording that song later this year and doing a video hopefully
  Annoyingly I can't listen to any of your stuff at the moment cos work have blocked dropbox links .. but you're on my watchlist so I'll catch up when I get some free time at home!

  @kenficara  Feb 6

  I had never heard of Harmonitalk but I have now. Holy crap! So good to hear people doing creative things with the harp. Thank you!!!!

• 

  @mschizzle Feb 5

  thanks for the comment! I'm also a lover of harmonies but was too excited about the song to think of harmonies just yet

• 

  @theresaj  Feb 5

  Thanks for taking a listen and commenting!

• 

  @orbh Feb 5

  Thank you for your comment. I remember those nice racing games for Amiga. Our neighbour had lot of those.

• 

  @headfirstonly  Feb 5

  Thanks for stopping by. Cheesy peas!

• 

  @nextdoorninja Feb 5

  Thanks for the comment on the song and about singing to it, absolutely, go for it!

• 

  @nadia  Feb 5

  rock on. thanks so much for your idea--i look forward to hearing it!!

• 

  @jdsmith22  Feb 4

  You mean just overdub the one I've already recorded? I'd be perfectly fine with that.

• 

  @jdsmith22  Feb 3

  I was thinking the same thing, I may do that when I polish it up later. Thanks!

  @colourcodedchaos Feb 3

  Thank you for the compliment! I'm afraid I must disappoint you, though; there are not to be any recordings unless other people want to set them to music, which is perfectly fine by me. For one, I don't have any recording software or equipment. For another, I can't play any kind of instrument worth a damn.

  @musicsongwriter Feb 2

  Thank you for your nice comment, I'm afraid the photo was a real time accident which happened to me in Summer-I didn't see the step and came "flying", my knee is still bruised...
