Bio

I'm not sure what I'm going to do here yet. But I'm definitely going to do something.

Whatever I end up doing it will probably be sort of melodic, with too many guitar parts, and some kick drum.

I am also determined to use a xylophone at some point, although I don't have one which may be a bit of a hinderance.

Note 28th feb - well I have failed to record an album. I have opened a number of blank tracks just so I can continue uploading to this site, as I've found the feedback really helpful and confidence boosting. I hope these blank tracks are not outside of the spirit of fawm.

yeah, it's a weird one. if you've got an idea for it then feel free to throw something together! it could probably use a chorus. I don't have anything else at the moment, I've drained my brain completely.

good work on Jurassic Park. I realised today that I need to watch the film again, I'd forgotten that Samuel L Jackson is in it.

Do you reckon 'Appalachian' could be Flameboy? I didn't think it had that vibe. but I'm up for giving it a go.

Untitled 2 sounds pretty awesome. But Untitled 3 is definitely shaping up to be my favourite!

Next song won't be my last one - current total is including both versions of 'A New Low' so I need at least two more! Still a bit disturbed that I'm nearly finished with more than 20 minutes left to go.

Drums indeed played manually, but looped - no way I could stay in time for that long!

The vocals are 'Charles' from the ever-useful text-to-speech website:

But sampled into the SK5 and played from there, obviously!

Hi James,
Thanks for the comment. The Brendan BEnson thing is cool. I haven't really heard any of his stuff apart from one or two songs I think. To be honest I don't listen to much music... I don't seem to have time and any normally end up listening to music pre 1980 when I do as a rule.

I'll check out more of his stuff. Thanks.

If we put them up as collaborations then it counts towards both of our totals, so that sounds like a good idea to me! Yeah, if you've got some suitable lyrics then chuck me an email or something, we can work from there

Looking forward to checking out 'This House', will have a listen when I get home.

As for sounding cool when I rap, I just think back to "Secret Agent" and work from there.

THERE you are. Did you have a good birthday? We should get this collaboration on the go, any ideas to start us off?

Delay is fun! You should check out thrift shops for a xylophone... they can yield fun instrument finds.

also I've got a glockenspiel and would be happy to record something over a song if you like.

obviously that offer is VOID if only a xylophone will do!
