Bio

I'm a 24 year old musician, I sustain myself by working part time security... and living with my parents.

What should you expect to hear from me this FAWM?
My music will most likely be electronic dance music, for the most part, but I've been dabbling with so many unrelated musical genres and techniques in the past two years that it's really hard to call that genre my bread & butter nowadays.

I'm also considering buying my first acoustic guitar soon, so if I turn out to be some sort of prodigy on it, it's likely you'll hear some of that there too.

**EDIT: I bought a classical guitar, a new soundcard (tc electronic Desktop Konnekt 6), a microphone (Behringer B-1), and a mic stand. I put the blame on FAWM

However, at the end of the day, I'm not the one who decides what comes out here. To put it bluntly, I'm the Muses' bitch. They make the calls around here, so let's all hope they're in a good mood this February.

I'll be using the above mentioned instruments along with Propellerheads Reason and my voice (maybe my mother's voice too). I might buy a new harmonica later this month, and Propellerheads Record as soon as I can afford it.

And here's a bit I nicked from Debs: "Thanks for all the comments - instead of posting thanks on individual soundboards, I'm just going to comment on your songs!" (Will take a while though )

--Have a great FAWM, everyone.

that i'm limited by my equipment is sort of why i want comments on recording... i half expect somebody to hear my demos, and say 'you need to buy xxx', and that will somehow make everything i do sound a lot better.

wishful thinking, no doubt
Rob Cooke - Boy@Heart 1 week ago

Hey Psy-T! Thanks for the comment. Love the avatar and great going on your FAWM total.
I'll be coming back to listen and comment more soon after a break. I'm still a bit burned out after Feb.
Jocelyn 1 week ago

Hey, you! I'm going to send you the vocal bits soon, just haven't had the chance to separate them. I'm also going to send you the instrumental because I chopped it up a bit, making it much shorter, unless you want to produce it differently.
Ross Durand 1 week ago

Hey Man, Thanks for the listen, and I take the download as a great compliment!
G Slade 1 week ago

Hey man, great job on the track (much longer comment on the song itself.) Pleasure working with you (even though you did most of the work, I just gave you the track.)
codex 2 weeks ago

Hey, just wondering how the track is going?
Chriddof 2 weeks ago

Thank you for the comment!
Jocelyn 2 weeks ago

Whaaaa... I feel horrible... but, as much as I like the song, I really don't think my voice could pull it off. D: I'm sorry. I've sat in front of it for awhile now but not much is working. This makes me feel really bad.
Jocelyn 2 weeks ago

Okay, I'll try for before then. Gotta say, totally new style for me.
Jocelyn 3 weeks ago

Hey, was there any specific time before the 28th you wanted the collab done? Mostly because I'm having a bit of a genre challenge with this... D: I'm trying!
codex 3 weeks ago

I have uploaded the tracks as my e-mail is being weird. I have done each instrument separate but put all the recordings of that instrument on one track that runs in real time, i have also taken all effects and panning off the tracks so you can look upon them with fresh eyes. Feel free to take the track apart as you see fit and get rid of any bit you don't want (or visa versa with add.)

Hey, sure you’re more the welcome to have a remix, sounds like fun. All my recordings are done on cubase 5. I can give you the whole file or just the recordings, what do you want?
Jocelyn 3 weeks ago

Hey, got your message while I was at school. I definitely still want to collab. Song #14 here I come!
dftaylor 3 weeks ago

I appreciate the comments. The recordings are just demos that I'll polish up later, mostly for things like the level of bass. I had an absolute nightmare with the drums on Ride - they just seemed to keep disappearing in the mix. Thanks for the constructive feedback.

Escape from 9to5 1 month ago

Well, if you don't mind me using cheaper equipment (a portable H4 audio interface/microphone) for the recording, I can do my best and see what comes out of it.
Sure, I'm up for a collab. I guess we would send links to files via Email or are there PM options available within FAWM?

Thanks for the comment on "Sha la la" - I'm hoping to do a "produced" version at Easter

Hey Psy-T! It's Shush GET OUT OF FAWM YOU BASTARD!!!! haha....ok,ill listen to some of your music and comment.
Ken Ficara 1 month ago

Thanks for the comment on "Smoke" but to be clear, there's only one synth line on the track, the weird buzzy/drony noise that runs through most of the track. Everything else is harmonica, other than the vox and drums of course.

Hey Psy-T. Can you read through this thread? It is regarding the Each Person Write One Line challenge.

Hey, thanks for stopping by "let you go"... Yeah, the delivery can use some shaping up, which will be dealt with after fawm....

Thanks for the comment on "How Many Miles Beyond?" -- I started off gentle this time and got more noisy as time went on

About your comment on the muses above -- I've found they like to go places. The trick is to figure out how to prop the door open, so they can come and go as they please.
Dillon Richards 1 month ago

Uh oh. I suggest maybe trying again, or something. It worked for me just fine.

Your music is amazing. I envy Debs for collabing with you. The end product has been added to my iPod. I cannot stop listening to it.

Thanks for the comments man. I appreciate the love. I enjoyed listening to your first song. There's and art to working with instrument and ambient music. I'm not really sure what it is but you seem to be keyed in.
Rick Cannon 1 month ago

Thanks for the demo notes. I'm mostly focusing on writing and getting fairly decent demos to get the point across. (:

No disrespect intended. I got inspired, and carried away probably. If you are ever up for a collaboration, let me know.

You've got the Propellerhead's Reason, because it is the season for spinning beanies. To put it bluntly, I just rolled a blunt, B (not really). Mmk (mortal-mortal kombat) getting silly. You're free Willy (or Wiley Coyote as written by the Red Crayola).
You're a bowler & I'm a baller.
I'm balled up and getting smaller (infinitesimal)
Got your style (check it) to an infinite decimal.

In the sense of prepend (which isn't a word),
But isn't /not yet/ a word.
Rockin' the verb to stock your world.

Ooo, let's do it! Perhaps an ambient/synth track with a verse/chorus structure that I can put some vocals to?
