Bio

I'm

a singer/songwriter. The piano is my home base; I adore a good melody. I love waking up with a hook or a lyric stuck in my head.

a worship leader. One of the fundamental rhythms of my life is leading music and worship every Sunday with my church community.

a new mama. Because of my sweet baby girl, most of the songs I've written in the past 6 months have been about poop or tiny toes or baby cheeks... but as fun as that is, I'm looking forward to writing some different material this February.

Looking forward to interacting with all of you.

Thanks for popping over and listening to my first FAWMling. I'll see if I can cook up a melody 'cause I'd love to collab!

thanks for the comment on "a secret". I forgot to write on the post that @olivia wrote the words, I just jammed on them and made up music....

Looking forward to all your offerings this year. "The Purpose" from last year is on my list of all-time favorite songs. Noting your comments on worship music above - you might like to stop in on this thread: http://fawm.org/forums/thread/2550/

I'm stoked you think the song sounds like it's being played in a giant cathedral. My dream was to record my album in a church.

The iphone app is a free app called studio.M. I downloaded MusicStudio as well and that's not useful. I also bought GarageBand and that is kinda cool to play fake instruments on, but you record 8 bars at a time so it's kind of a hassle recording live instruments.

I also bought for $60 a Tascam iXZ which is an interface which allows you to plug a quarter inch instrument cable or a mic cable into your iPhone. It has a headphone plug in it so you can listen and play or sing along to what you've already recorded.

I might buy the upgrade for studio.M because it supports more tracks and supports importing and exporting tracks. I got Alchemy and it is an interesting synth app and supports exporting and so I think it would be cool to add synth from that app into my recorded songs.

I should probably open a thread about this stuff.

Hi thanks for commenting on my tune Searching For A Melody For You. Maybe you would be interested in adding a harmony. After I fix the melody.

Hi Hannah, as Sarah said we're going to try our best to write some things. Either way it would be great to collaborate with you again!

Hi, Hannah! @dasbinky said we might have some sounds in common. The piano is my other half. Looking forward to hearing your music!

Hannah-hopefully we'll get something written, though it will be kind of crazy. This year we've got the baby of course...and I start my new job on Feb 1st. We also will have my mom then Brian's mom here the 1st 2 weeks of Feb. So yeah. But I can't imagine not doing at least something. At least even with all of that going on I won't be battling the constant nausea/morning sickness I had at this time last year!
