Bio

Occasionally paid musician, long-term unpaid satirist, paid-up internet junkie: in polite company as Tim Fatchen; impolite company as Flying Tadpole. A quick sampling of both is on the youtube link, and you can always switch the sound off and watch the pictures.

Here are the main music links, with a lot of FAWM and 5090 components. Tim Fatchen links are quieter music, Flying Tadpole links are rabid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This 2010 FAWM has been difficult for me, and there's no way the collection of songs is any sort of a cohesive album.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
27/28 Feb
If anyone is still following this:

I will probably bounce out a couple more off-the-cuffs and possibly Riding for the Mountains before the chop descends. Then I'm off air until March 5--after the memorial service--then I'll try to comment more until i disappear 17th March or so. But when I last looked, I'd already made 260+ comments and most of those analytical, not one-liners. Nowhere near Errol but nothing to be sneered at, so my conscience is as clear as it normally gets (which is pretty murky)
------------------------------------------------------------
7 feb 10
There has been a death in the family, sad but not unexpected and not particularly tragic, but I'm probably not fully functioning until almost the end of February. I'll try to listen and comment still, but it'll be even more disjointed than it was.

[And we're still desperately renovating a flat]

So don't expect to see anything up for weeks yet.

20 Feb 10
The apartment is repainted, refitted, cleaned, so that is finally out of the way.

The funeral was ten days ago, but I'm now practising for a memorial service (probably, large) for March 4th.

Possibly I can churn something out in the coming week but I'm devoid of any creative impulse right now.

Midnight 22 Feb: 6 days left. 9 songs to go. Should be a doddle.not... Time for another 3 impros I think...

Evening 24 Feb: 4 days, 6 songs left to do; I've got a collab that exists as a rough, The Garden Shed From Hell lyrics but no music, One More Step as lyric and sketched music, Telephone Billpay as lyrics no music, so that's 4 I could legitimately put up locked, I need two more tonight then I can clean up the others and (pantpantpant) make it...

AM 25 Feb...and Arthritis, as an achey instrumental. Arthritis is what I've got, lotsa fish oil and glucosamine and paracetamol and when my hands really complain I remind them "Use it or lose it". The rough of Quitter Talk collab is up, and Devin is working on the music for The Garden Shed From Hell!.

PM 25 Feb Devin through giving up sleep has the Garden Shed From Hell up and running. One More Step needs to be sung but otherwise done. Telephone Billpay still needs music. I discovered I put together a whole rough of a song Riding for the Mountains and forgot it, so that'll spring up as numebr 14 before the 28th. Yay!

PM 26 Feb. Just One More Step no up, how appropriate, developed ukulele music for Telephone Billpay, that's up. One more to go, I''m exhausted already.

OK, collab with HeavyHedonist "31" reasons to slit your wrists song is up, I found it really difficult because Ive actually got 46 reasons to do so...

If anyone is still following this:

Nowhere near Errol but nothing to be sneered at, so my conscience is as clear as it normally gets (which is pretty murky)

6 march 2010. OK, although we're now through the funeral season, I'm tired and shot and won't be around much till April. For those I haven't got to, I plead circumstances and give apologies. Next year will be better. Thank you for the comments and interchange too.

    Re Miocene: Oh dear. What a bummer. tongue Wish I could help. Take a few hundred deep breaths, Tim. It'll all come back to you. wink What instrument(s) were you looking at?
  •  1B King 4 days ago
    Thanks for the comments Tim. You are spot on with Don't Make Me and several others for that matter. I let myself get caught up in the FAWM frenzy and threw out a lot of sketches that were not well thought out. I just had so many ideas that I had to capture them before they got lot.

    Pieces of Eight is actually one of those happy accidents that really started to take on a life of it's own. It is one of my keepers and I want to put some effort into making something of it.

    Shirk at leisure, Tim. wink Plenty of time to put finishing touches on the demo. wink

    When it's done, I plan to put it (and the death-metal song "The Rats") on a CD to give

    That's fine, Tim. wink Take the time you need. Let me know if you want me to tweak a word here or there for singability.
  • Mike Grutka 1 week ago
    Hey Tim. Been a few days since i've been on here. I've been doing RPM challenge simultaneously and got caught up in finishing my 10 songs fully recorded for that. Thanks again for your comments. truly appreciate it. How do i get in the jukebox? this is my first time on FAWM and I don't know how to do that. Help appreciated. peace, mike
  •  Donna 1 week ago
    Sure Tim, go for it!. wink I've listed you as collaborator. I made a couple of changes to the lyric earlier (maybe just the title), but forget whether it was before or after your comment. Hence, be sure to take a look at it again before you record. Thanks. wink

  • Nick Sypniewski 1 week ago
    Tim,
    Thanks for the comments on Seven Circles. The truly sad thing is that vocal was recorded WITH a pitch correction plug-in... LOL There really is no hope for me - which is fine - I can accept that. I just wish I could find someone to actually sing the damned things on key for me LOL. If I had a voice to uhm, well, give voice to these things - I'd be writing five songs a day... Oh well...
  •  garyjugert 1 week ago
    Hey Tim!! Thank you so much for keeping me working and giving me a positive push. I am looking forward to hearing every one of your songs ... especially the ones with your new ukulele! I've got demos done for every song I wrote, and I'll edit them over the next few days and post them to plague our sound waves with the worst singing ever. I had such a wonderful February and you (as always) were a big part of that. Cheers to March Listening Month!
  •  1B King 1 week ago
    Congrats on the win Mr. Tim smile
  • Taylor Tay 1 week ago
    Thanks for the encouragement! I need it! I've managed to get 4 songs up int he past 2 days though: admittedly one is 5 seconds long, another is an ambient repeated riff with practically no change at all, one is a dance song (who needs talent to make dance music? turns out more than I thought!), and the other uses someone else's lyrics and one piano riff.

    3 more to go, in less than 24 hours? It wouldn't be impossible.
  •  lapetitekiwi 1 week ago
    Tim, oh that's sad, I would have loved to hear your take on them!
  •  Billy Sea 1 week ago
    I do know it, but realized I had never got a response on my email to someones lyrics and just realized it was still sitting on my desktop. I posted it as a placeholder and will go back and add lyrics at some point. Still owe a collab or two so that will be the priority for now.

    Great job on hitting your 14. I knew you'd get there. I'll get back to listen to all your songs even though there is no way me commenting on them will come close to all the many comments you've given me smile Thanks so much!
  •  heavyhedonist 1 week ago
    did i say blues rock? i MEANT neo-classical toothache, but i was afraid nobody would understand. ha. well, they will now, it's got the feel of mortality in it, but it still trips along... you were more than up to the singing; so i owe ya big; maybe sometime hence i can pay you back by singing on Snow. which i have inches of to look at right now.
    Thank you TF, it's lovely slit-your-wrists-to-candlelight music.
    oh forgot to say: secretly, by waking i meant: on a dirt pillow, so no version is hopeful really. but i am.

  •  sheilerk 1 week ago
    Tim, Thank you for your comment on my little round. I was totally amazed it worked at all to tell you the truth. Not being a musician, or a singer even, really, I just figured I'd give it a go and see what happened. I'll give your suggestion a try smile

    Congratulations in advance. Since I know you will meet your goal before I do, guess I'd better get back to work smile
  •  tie dye hero 1 week ago
    good point on my song Tim, I hadn't noticed that. Thanks!

    you have one more to go, and it almosty sounded like a collab idea you left on 31-- hmmmm. No pressure. Loved TGSFH to death.
  • shirleyto 1 week ago
    Haha, Tim, thanks for writing on my page. I'm working on it... =P
  •  1B King 1 week ago
    Just one more Tim. If it moves you, your ukelele would be most welcome on any thing that I've put up. #s 23-27 might be fodder (or failure). wink
  • gag3 1 week ago
    Great to see you almost there Tim.... one more, you can do it! One more hit, that is all you need! I have loved listening to your songs, especially the Ukulele!
  •  Outasync 1 week ago
    Thank you for your comment on "Cardboard and Sting". I agree that finding voices will be hard (read: well-neigh impossible) but it was fun to write.

    Tim! I love it!

    Tim,
    Thanks for the comment on my and cts' song. I can safely say that listening to any my stuff will always be an ABBA-free situation. LOL Glad you enjoyed it.
  •  devin 2 weeks ago
    So glad you liked the tune bro!

    And a big LOL to the "Devil came down to georgia on Kazoo" big_smile big_smile big_smile big_smile

    Fun, fun lyric. I may have to play that one around the campfire!
  •  anaesthetic penance 2 weeks ago

  • compromiseline 2 weeks ago
    Thanks for the comment!

    And yeah, I should have definitely changed up the drums, but like I said in the liner notes, I basically made that track out of frustration.
  • Leslie 2 weeks ago
    Thank you so much for your comments on Alabaster and Slate, Tim. I really loved listening to all your score work in the summer during 50/90, and gained a great respect for you as a composer. Bob has a great gift, and I'm so happy he shared it with me. Thanks for listening!
  • Kramer's Dog 2 weeks ago
    I'm definitely up for a collab! And I'm sure even the rough will be awesome. Hope you don't mind I already changed it to a collab.
  •  timmyriordan 2 weeks ago
    Thanks Tim. I appreciate your comments. I think the last couple songs I've done I've had a little less energy to invest in things like melody and stuff. It's too bad. When I look back in March I'll probably figure out what to do about that stuff. In the meantime a few more days and I'll have my 28 songs for the month which is the goal for now smile
  •  1B King 2 weeks ago
    Mr. Tim, thank you for your comment on Slate. Your kind words alone have made my day.
  •  devin 2 weeks ago
    Did you say "Garden Shed From Hell?"

    Oh please oh please oh PLEASE can I do that one with you? Wouldn't be fancy with this much time left, but it would be fun.

    Oh Please oh Please?!?

  •  Timothy Chen Allen 2 weeks ago
    Thanks for taking the time to comment on "Rewrite History" (http://fawm.org/songs/6037/). I was happy the update of the demo. I was a little unhappy that the first version of the demo turned out so... awful (you were being very kind!) I knew there was a reasonably good song in there, but I had pitched it too low and was trying to "save" the main vocals by overlaying a bunch of harmony.
  •  third time lucy 2 weeks ago
    Thanks a stack for the specific advice on improvising! It's not something I've done a lot of so it's really good to get pointed in the right direction
  •  Elaine DiMasi 2 weeks ago
    Well, #6 was a present. I didn't write it.
  •  Dan Vaillancourt 2 weeks ago
    Thanks Tim! I would agree that the song of the series worked okay... worked better than expected for the experiment though.. haha. It is hard to play two instruments at once! hahaha. A lot of fun though.
  •  Elaine DiMasi 2 weeks ago
    You're right! Thanks for the note about the wall of vocals on Mile High Tower by the way - how many tracks of vox do I have to put in before people will get that I'm making fun of myself, do you think? In any case, I decided after that one to make sure to take breaks from hiding behind those walls...
  •  heavyhedonist 2 weeks ago
    TF-- I liked seeing your hands on the keys, but my vote is for the whole person on camera. unless it's moi, of course.

  •  Kevin Emmrich 3 weeks ago
    Thanks for stopping by to listen to Movie in My Head. I always like to see the "credits" on songs to see how things were done -- but I left them off this song, didn't I? I added the playing credits at the bottom of the tune (Band-in-a-Box played a nice role). Unfortunately Devin had a sore singing throat and then sprained his wrist when he fell out of an airplane and had only his jacket to help glide to a somewhat graceful landing.
  •  devin 3 weeks ago
    Our good Kevin did all the instrumentation and vocals on the "Movie in my head" song. That young feller really nailed it!

    How are you, TF? it sounds like you're having a rough year, and it's only month 2.
  • Ken Ficara 3 weeks ago
    Thank you for the comments, Tim. The distorted vocals were not intentional; one problem with looping live is that you can build things up and start clipping without realizing it, which is what happened there. And since it was recorded live direct to two-track, there's nothing I can do about it now. But I'm glad you liked the song!
  • dougdog nye 3 weeks ago
    Tim thanks for the feedback on my song Trump and shout. Praise and worship is not the most popular stuff here at fawm nor with me either so it is good to hear someones take on it. I aggree that there is a lot of horrible praise songs and i have typically shied away from writing any as I hate to use the same old cliches. I sang this in church last night and people really liked it. i mean they really liked it. i did a better job than my demo.This song just came spilling out. I woke up with most of it already written. i had to scramble around for a pen to write it down. That could be a good sign although i have also woke up with horribly crappy lyrics on my tongue. anyways thanks, I have another "bible" song in the works. basically proverbs 4 verbatem switched around a bit to fit a melody in open d tuning. dougdog
  •  Bruce H. McCosar 3 weeks ago
    Thanks for the comment on "The Last Star Before Daybreak" -- I guess if I learned anything, it's that my time skills are much better at fingerstyle than at traditional rhythm guitar wink Most of my fingerstyle songs have a high degree of time control ... the ones where I strummed tended to take off or derail slightly. Something to work on!

    Hi Tim, thank you for listening to Portrait of An Old Man. Music was composed first and Richard (rittmo) created his poem after listening to my music. This is all new to me to have my music with a spoken word but I find it very interesting and I'm enjoying collaborating with Richard. We have more than 10 compositions together now. I like your improvisation smile

    Re Battle Hymn: I don't think I'm familiar with it? -- so no, the resemblance wasn't intentional.

    Fingers crossed you can squeeze out some music soon. For what it's worth (don't remember if I commented on it), I loved your improv piece; you've got some skills there.

    Thank you for the wonderful comment on "Yours Forever". smile How fun that you can hear my Scandinavian heritage in the music. In this piece I don't hear it myself - just like I don't hear that I speak with a Swedish accent (even though I have learned that everybody else does). It makes me happy to know you hear it though. smile I'll check out the piece you mentioned. I don't think I have heard that one.

    I know what you mean about your samples. I just bought a new computer so that I can start using Omnisphere (Which I bought several months ago). My last computer couldn't run it.

    Thanks for the comment on Social Paranoia. I definitely noticed SATT syndrome creeping in to the track - I had strings on the first part playing chords, got rid of them for the main hook, and then it felt "empty" - so I added them back in. I definitely think your idea of making them more dynamic and less chordy is a great one.

    Sorry to hear of your loss but I thank you greatly for the comments.

    Thanks for the comment on "To Dance in Nameless Places" --

    > A leetle bit of clash between keys and guitar on some of the odd progressions

    The culprit is a new set of strings. Looking back, I think the 3rd string went slightly out of tune between the first and third chorus of the song ... because notice the wonky note worked on the first go-round, then sucked on each turn thereafter. Normally not an issue, but it's low for a melody note, so it's off-kilter harmonics are smashing against the quite steady rocks of the piano chord in a bone jarring way.

    Oh well. That's what I get for changing strings big_smile

    Hi Tim, thanks for your comment, and I appreciate you putting mine in the mix so no one would know, lol. It inspired a new song smile Hope you know I'm just teasing with it. It was actually a lot of fun writing it.

    If it doesn't mess up your plans for FAWM, I'd love to add you as a collaborator (especially since I stole your words to make up the entirety of my chorus.

    Thanks for the comment. Good point, it does sound like I'm talking down the song in the liner notes, which was not exactly my intention. Perhaps I shall change them....
  • toms 1 month ago
    Tim - that was a really excellent set of recommendations, and I deeply appreciate it. Your grasp of detail in the midst of structure is incredible, and really really uncommon, and i can't tell you how much I appreciate the analysis and recommendations.

    You've mentioned several times that I should post the lyrics. In fact, I have a small argument in favor of not posting them. I remember reading something a long time ago, about the Cocteau Twins, who sang an invented language, where the phonemes and syllables were chosen to match the rise and fall of the musical line, as well as the rhythm. When I'm writing the lyrics, I'm mostly trying to find words that "open" and "close" in a way that fits the melody. Oddly enough, the human tendency to connect and find meaning in mostly unconnected or even meaningless phrases seems to give the result coherence - sort of like what caused John Cage to complain that his Zen-influenced indeterminate works were failures.
  •  garyjugert 1 month ago
    Hey Tim!! I'm working man. I am working. Trying desperately to increase my production value with a lot of extra racket and beeps (I'm calling them backing tracks!) in addition to my usual mind numbing ukuleletry. I may be a bit slower posting the first one than a lot of people, but I know you're keeping an eye on us FUC-ers so I will try to do my part. By the way, I totally relate to the recording nightmares. My power supply died last weekend. Maybe we can use two Campbell soup cans and a string that reaches Australia to hear your latest works.

    Thanks for the comment on "How Many Miles Beyond?" -- oddly, I see the merits in both systems, electronic and non. I've been using a metronome for practice for a long time; and yet sometimes when I just grab the guitar and wander off to play, I leave it behind and do fine. Thus my leap of faith in trusting my own rhythm. We'll see if I can pull this off on more rockin' tunes later.

    Hiya Tim. Thanks for the comments. Yes oblivious was actually the second word I'd tried because the first one didn't seem to fit. It still isn't right but I was spending too much FAWM time worrying about it. I'll definitely revisit it again post FAWM smile

    Looking forward to hearing some new Tim or Tadpole creations smile

    Cheers for the comment on my first song. The ending was definitely makeshift - A fade might work well if I continue the guitar solo a bit longer but I'd rather figure out a proper way to end it. I'll comment your first tunes as soon as I can!
