Bio

2012 marks my 5th FAWM! My goal every year is to make music that I want to hear, and sometimes that happens. I usually get about 2 to 5 collaborations to complete my 14 songs, and though much of my stuff is post punk, there is usually at least one errant bluesy song in there.

My DAW is working now, Reaper with a Digi 003 interface and some free plug-ins. The drums sound bad and I purchased Steven Slate drums but have no idea how to make them show up on Reaper. Waste of $100 so far.

    "Buddy Holly journeys through the valley of the dolls!" Best comment ever! I laughed pretty hard.

    Great first song as always. Nice to see you out of the blocks. Nice to see you out of the jail cell for that matter. Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck! [is shot]

    I love incorporating legal disclaimers into songs! I'd be happy to do it. (Also, thank you for the kind words)

    My DAW is working now, but there's a learning curve, so I'll be late out of the gate. I downloaded Steven Slate Drums, but can't get that working.

    Hey Jake, Lets collaborate this year. I have a renewed interest in getting some new music written this year! Just wrapped a really cool song ( pre-fawm) that I think you may like- I may need some help playing it live too and you'd be a good fit for it!
