Bio

Based in Sheffield and this is FAWM numero 2 for me.

This year I intend to write all my songs with the intention of being able to perform them acoustically live. I have lived in the dark for far too long and want to start playing live again.

OK, so I started out trying to be able to perform the live but that has gone to pot. It is way too easy to pick up my electric and add tons of effects, more fun as well.

Hey there... I have not remixed with the individual files or added additional stuff yet for our collab *26080, but the one you sent sounds great too, so I uploaded that. I couldn't stand not getting to it anymore!! Thanks for taking that on - I love it.
ellenpliss 2 months ago

that is The Best gosh darn song I have ever had honor of being part of.....You are *so* great! You made that so much better -- I am just beside myself. The "get out of my system" add at the end (!!) so great!!!! I am floored. Big virtual FAWM hug and kiss to you! I better stop here or I'll look ridiculous

for some reason I can't play the link...I added you as a collab -- would you kindly load it for me? Can't wait to hear it -- thank you very much!!

[it won't even let me put in the URL as you gave it to me...and won't let me edit it either?]

really? really?! I am ecstatic! no pressure though, and feel free to change/shift/alter anything you need to make it work to your liking. If it doesn't work out, I'll understand. I am thrilled you are going to try - thank you! PS> please let me know when you'd like me to add you as a collab, now or wait?

you are welcome

if you have nothing better to do, think about a collab? I have lyrics that *might* work for you at http://fawm.org/songs/27880/ I see you are a fellow Pearl Jam fan -- I was thinking of Red Mosquito when I wrote these

Hey man... I'd love to collaborate. Sweet! Let me know which one you have in mind. None of mine (as they are now) were recorded with clicks but I can redo anything you'd like with one, if needed.

First four synthjams uploaded - the 5th one is giving me trouble because it's immensely long and requires some serious editing...
vomvorton 3 months ago

Yep, I'm going to put them up on @thealtonsisters today. I need to think of some titles though, because they're currently just called "1st Feb Jam 1" and stuff like that! And the really long one needs some substantial editing too...

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Hope the weather is fine there in UK.

Thanks for liking my stuff -- it's great to get praise from people who know what they're doing. I just listened to "Wash it Away" -- terrific!

We'll see if anything happens. I've had very little free time this year and will have to really force myself to stop life for a while to focus on this, I think. I still have lots of lyrics from my dad, so more of that is definitely a possibility. I am really hoping to get at least a few songs done this year - my expectations are low, but that's ok.
vomvorton 3 months ago

It was alright! But a song from 2008 got the best response. I managed the new song without too many mistakes though, which is quite pleasing..,

Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff!
