Bio

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to my FAWM page, thanks for checking things out. This is my first FAWM. For the most part, I may be only posting lyrics to songs I will finish up in the future, but its a big step in getting new material done! Ill do my best to get at least some acapellas done also.
I am open to collaborations...I do lyrics, vox (female ambient, soprano, some mid-range). For examples you can visit my site at the link above. I am also open to others doing remixes of any of my work (given that i get some music done with it! Ha!)

Thanks!

    Thanks!

  •  dftaylor 1 day ago
    Petra... I'd love for you to add vocals to my song. Thanks for the compliment too. If you want to have a go at it, please let me know. I've really enjoyed listening to your stuff - you've got a great voice and real knack for a melody.

    there's something very folksy and bluesy in there. All sorts of mystery.
  • musicsongwriter 2 days ago
    Looking forward to hearing your demos, Petra. Please take all the time you need smile I know the result will be beautiful smile

    rotfl! i dunno..maybe the versions? i did have a first version but the ending piano was cut off so i quickly uploaded the corrected version...should have only been adding the end unless i used a clone track on the first and not the second? ill have to check that...

    still working towards getting a couple of the others done...slow going...

    welcome barbara! what awesome songs youve got...
  • musicsongwriter 4 days ago
    Hi, Petra, I've uploaded Playing Boxes on my MySpace site. How can it be possible that every time I hear our song it sounds diffeent? I love your vocals smile

  • musicsongwriter 1 week ago
    Hi Petra. Please listen to http://fawm.org/songs/10492/
    If you like it, may be you could think of some lyrics/vocals for it?
    Nadia
  • musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago
    Thank you so much Petra. So glad you liked music smile
    Nadia
  •  heavyhedonist 2 weeks ago
    quite the heavy list! congrats on your stunning output. i'll be looking in again later...
  •  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago
    ooooooo nice! thank you for all your work! as soon as i get some vocals re-worked for Psy-T's song, im gonna check these out...whoohoo!
  • musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago
    Oh dear, neither of us know then. I've posted a new dry version on Songramp, may be someone can help smile I've uploaded two ideas for your two lyrics, please take a listen, I don't know if you'd like them or not, they are there and I can change them and rework as long as needs be, I really don't mind. I like your voice and your lyrics smile
  •  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago
    hubby said the same on the dry1...he liked that one better...but it doesnt matter to me..i tend to be partial to having effects just cause i like to cover up things in my vox i dont like...ha! so i leave it up to another to choose cause i never can...
  • musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago
    Hi Petra. I'm listening now for 40 minutes and I really can't make up my mind. All the takes are beautiful. I think the one you call dry 1 has more emotion which I really like and I also now like the one which was on yoour site just before these two takes so probably either dry 1 or the previous to the two recent takes are the best (confusing, isn't it?) May be dry 1 is more showing the saddness of the song. Thank you so much for all your work with the recording.
    Nadia

    Which take do you personally prefer?
  •  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago
    doh! fixed it..
  •  G Slade 2 weeks ago
    lol..on my newest track you put "G was kidding when he said it was awesome." ...a typo? lol
  •  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago
    yay! gonna have hubby check on levels and stuff when he gets home and ill have that and the track(s) for Nadia to post...movin' right along...
  •  Linzi 2 weeks ago
    You're very welcome to post it, I'm honoured big_smile
  •  petra777 (XEW) 2 weeks ago
    Nadia: yep yep yep, ill email you also in case u miss the message..ill try to make the effect corrections asap...ill do an adjusted version and a "dry" vox one....
  • musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago
    Thank you Petra smile I know just too well how hard it is to record when the little one is around smile You've done a wonderful job smile
    Nadia
  • musicsongwriter 2 weeks ago
    Thank you so much for creating your beautiful lyric and singing so beautifully. I love our song smile The only thing I thought I'd like to ask you (if it is okay with you is whether you could take away the echo/reverb in the recoring. I think your voice shines and I would prefer to hear its natural beauty smile I would like to upload our song (may be when you make this slite alteration to the recording if you are happy with my idea) with our both names on different sites and I'd like to know whether you are happy with the idea of having our song on soundclick, songramp, etc. and whether you like me to use Petra as your name. My email address is composeratheart@gmail.com
    Nadia
    Thank you again, Petra smile
