Bio

I'm neither lonely nor am I a robot.

FAWM number 3 for me!

2010: Wrote 14 songs, recorded 2
2011: Wrote 14 songs, recorded 14, hooray!
2012: ???

Last year I did a few new things, had my first play around with making drum tracks, bought a melodica, made some sex bob-omb rip-offs, did my first ever collaboration (and coincidentally my first ever chiptune) with @vomvorton, wrote a post-rock interlude and completed my personal challenge of recording a song without any guitars.

This year, money permitting, I'm hoping to buy a bass guitar and a ukelele. Not 100% I'm going to have enough time to do the 14, but I'll give it my best shot. I don't really have any plans as such, just want to see what comes out ... I do have a LUDICROUS idea that I'm hoping to have a go at though ... that's my big aim ... not sure if it'll work, but we'll see

If you'd like to do a collaboration in 2012 then please give me a shout

If you'd like to listen to one of my acoustic songs, and a Christmas song I recorded (with some vocal help from friends) in December 2011 then go here: http://lonelyrobot.bandcamp.com

If you'd like to hear a song I wrote last FAWM, recorded by my band (RIP) then go here: http://littlecourage.bandcamp.com

"I know a musician/magician should never reveal his secrets but what did you use to make them?"

This magician listed the source of those noises right in the liner notes

Cheers! The song IS nuts. I'm glad I found that article about the guy, otherwise who knows how crap it would have been.

Thanks so much for all the kind comments. I'm enjoying your stuff. You've got a real confident feel and movement to your stuff. I look forward to more!

Not sure, but I've just asked @hannibalhamster, who is putting it on.
vomvorton 6 days ago

I've just sent you an invite to the event on facebook! It's at the Chameleon, and it's a lunchtime gig, weirdly, but welcome-ly as I can get the train over.

Thanks for the link! No way I can download for the old iPod, eh? Well, I can't wait for the EP version...

Yes! My favorite song of FAWM 2011. Does there happen to be anywhere I could download it...?

Did you have that song about birds last year? About their feathers and whatnot?
frenchcricket 3 weeks ago

I'm gonna say both! See how it goes really, all goof is good goof
vomvorton 3 weeks ago

Well, presumably you heard me play it at that acoustic Christmas gig! But it's good to hear it sticks around, anyway

Not much of a plan other than pingponging collabs with my bandmates. What kind of bass is it? I picked up a JBass copy for £35 which I'm well chuffed with

Oh cool, didn't realise you were Derby based.. we'll be there very soon again no doubt ! Nothing special really, just got a better set up so maybe a bit of electric guitar and bass in there too I reckon. We'll see!

How about thee?
