• Leslie 1 day ago

  I've been listening to more of your music Kristian, and I'm definitely interested in doing a collaboration next time around. 50/90 maybe? Your collabs above are fabulous!
  
  And thanks for the comment on "Loved and Lost."

• Leslie 3 days ago

  Thanks for the feedback on "Origin", Kristian.

•  dylansdemise 1 week ago

  Thanks Kristian, I wanna be your Yoko was one of my favorite songs from this year. I got some backing tracks from Drums on Demand and when I first listened to it, I just kept hearing "I wanna be your Yoko"
  
  Congratulations on winning

• musicsongwriter 1 week ago

  My congratulations to you as well, Kristian I like your playing with words on your message, you've made me smile You know, it could be in the song - what you've written

  Man!! You won!! Well done sir!

•  looprication 1 week ago

  So glad you're digging what I did with the collab! It would have been hard to mess up the excellent foundation you laid for me to play in

•  kristian 1 week ago

  I wish.... posted the same song twice but have no despair, I shall be off to the studio now to start my last work .... to infinity... and beyooooond!

•  looprication 1 week ago

  WINNER!!! YAAAAHH!!!!

•  Vom Vorton 1 week ago

  I have been skiing a few years ago but not in Norway. I wonder if I would remember how? I think I had better pack lots of warm clothes and buy some boots... Thanks for the suggestions!

•  Vom Vorton 1 week ago

  Hehe, my girlfriend isn't actually from Oslo but she's studying at the university over there for a year. Any chance the snow is starting to melt yet? Anything you can recommend visiting as a good winter activity?

• musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago

  Hi Kristian, Just listened to your "Sorrow", so beautiful! Yes, I'd be delighted if you add some instruments to my music. So happy you like "Dancing Snow"
  Thank you Very happy to collaborate with you

•  lapetitekiwi 2 weeks ago

  Sounds so great thanks Kristian!!
  Love the morning sounds at the beginning and end!!

• stolie 3 weeks ago

  looking forward to getting an email from you in your morning... but now, i'm off to bed! what a big world it is!

• Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

  The lyrics are mostly finished. Right now the song's titled "Down by the Pub on O'Dwyer's Street". It's about a lad who tragically loses his "true love" who, halfway through the song, we realize is actually a beer.
  
  Question: what is the format? Is it verse verse chorus verse verse chorus? Because a convenient one for me lyricwise would be verse verse chorus verse chorus (verse verse). The last two verses would be acoustic and probably just have either my ukulele or accordion under them. If you've already set it up verse verse chorus verse verse chorus, that's cool; I'll just write another verse to put in the middle there and tack my last two verses onto the end.

•  PAt fee 3 weeks ago

  definitely, send me some tracks.

• Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

  Thanks for the chords. I'm working on lyrics.

•  lapetitekiwi 3 weeks ago

  I love your work so feel free. Just create a new song and add me as a collab partner.
  I am forewarning you though that I do not wish to sing on it
  I can't wait

•  Roel van Veldt 3 weeks ago

  Hi Kristian,
  
  I'm about to upload my version of My Mornings.
  
  But hey, why don't you ask Siob whether you can upload your version too? It's perfectly possible, just upload your demo on your account and put "lapetitekiwi" as your collab partner. She will have two songs for the same lyrics, but they will be two songs, anyway.
  
  Btw, I'm quite curious to hear you version too!
  
  Roel

•  looprication 3 weeks ago

  Hey Kristian! Just got back on the grid and saw your message, definitely up for a collab if the offer still stands!!

• Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

  We'll see what the song calls for. If you could send along the chords that would be good. Indian drums? Ha. Interesting.

•  tfish77 3 weeks ago

  Hi there! Just saw your message - never heard anything from Chess, or anything by Vangelis. But if that doesn't disqualify me, I'd love to take a stab! You can email me at FAWM [at] teamhirsch [dot] com. Send over the lyrics and a link to the files, and any thoughts you have on how you want it to sound, and I'll give it a shot!

• Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

  I would actually prefer to write the lyrics, so that works out.

• Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

  I think I'd like the quick transposed version for now so I can think of what to add. I'm not sure what would fit. I'm hoping to write an accordion part (I don't usually have access to my accordion since it's too big for me to take to university, but I'll have it this weekend) and a uke part is a definite possibility, though ukuleles aren't very Irish at all.
  
  By the way, are you writing the lyrics or am I?

• Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

  Hey, no hurry. Take your time. It was good just to get an idea.

• Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

  I finally got to listen to it! Yeah, it probably should be transposed down maybe half an octave.

• Audita Sum 3 weeks ago

  Very strange indeed. I tried downloading them and that didn't work either.

•  tfish77 4 weeks ago

  Hello again. I more or less improvised the lyrics and I have no idea if this is the sound you were going for, but I really like how this turned out and would love to post it as a collab if you like it. Let me know what you think - I really dig your backing track!

• Audita Sum 4 weeks ago

  A bit confused. They sound exactly the same for me. Also, they're both about five second long. Didn't know if that's what you meant to send?

•  tfish77 4 weeks ago

  Cool, thanks! I just improvised some lyrics that I like but I'm having trouble staying on the beat - now that I know the tempo I can stay on target!

•  kristian 4 weeks ago

  128 BPM (at least according to Live hehehe) but no need to rush it man; take your time I got loads of other stuff to do!

•  tfish77 4 weeks ago

  Hey kristian - what's the original tempo of the track?

•  tfish77 4 weeks ago

  Kristian - just downloaded your wav file and I really dig it! I'll try to add something to it ASAP and post here when I have something up.

• Audita Sum 4 weeks ago

  Cool.

•  kristian 4 weeks ago

  For anyone visiting this page: I made a techno/minimal tune that needs some vocals: tfish77 is already on it, but hey... the more the merrier! If anyone wants to give it a go; the thread is at

• Audita Sum 4 weeks ago

  I use Logic, so it would probably be easier if you sent me the music, then I recorded the vocals and sent you back only the vocals (in mp3 format) so that you could add them into your mix by clicking 'import' or 'import audio file,' or whatever Ableton has. I could also record a few instruments, which I would send along in the same way, individually.
  
  Is this going to be an electronica Irish folktune? Because that would be awesome. Looking forward to this project.

• theconsumption 4 weeks ago

  Imogen Heap, Tiga and Musicals?
  
  Effffff me... you're being watched.

•  Billy Sea 1 month ago

  Welcome to FAWM, glad to have you here

•  Maeflower 1 month ago

  Hey there Kristian. Actually there are quite a few of us "older" folk here at FAWM....we have a word for the spouses we leave behind--they're called "FAWM widows". My husband is one of them....and you're right, it can be hard to balance family / work / music during FAWM, but I can tell you it is absolutely worth it in the end!

•  Tobermory 1 month ago

  Hey there! Nice to see another programmer getting involved (I am barely one but it makes me feel good anyway). Your stuff on soundcloud sounds dreamy and interesting... can't wait for Feb 1
