Bio

FAWM V. I hope it's a good one! This year I'm going to try to write some songs that I can work on and re-record with a full band (including @waar on drums), because solomusik is getting lonely.

I can't find any postcodes that work, but I'm in Matlock, Derbyshire. Hello.

Previous FAWM albums (all free):
2008: http://vomvorton.co.uk/bricks-of-the-galaxy/
2009: http://vomvorton.co.uk/planet-of-the-tapes/
2010: http://vomvorton.co.uk/cosmic-string/
2011: http://vomvorton.co.uk/hide-seek/

I give my full permission to anyone who would like to:
* play any of my songs on FAWM radio / podcast etc.
* cover, remix or sample any of my songs

That made me laugh out loud at my desk I feel a Harrison Ford song coming on...

All the main characters, male and female?
orinoco 3 days ago

After reading your post on the forum I was just looking at the Wiki page for InnerSpace. I was convinced the main character was played by Harrison Ford. Memory's a funny thing.

Anyway, you didn't really need to know that, but I'm sure it has enriched your life in some small way. I'll be in touch soon about our collab!

I am pretty recognisable! I've made a number of friends by being recognised from the internet at gigs. I'm rather excited about this writing thing now...

Hello, I only just got your message of 5 days' ago. My postcode is simply "de22" and it has accurately placed me as being in Derbyshire. VAGUE.

Oh yeah! It sounds great so far outside of a few issues I'm having with syncing tracks but it should be done before February, and even if not, I'm going to finish it and not count it toward my 14 and a half.

The new Arturia MiniBrute looks cool... just released under NAMM. I would personally go for the DSI Mopho Keyboard; but thats monophonic so keep that in mind.. but its awesome

Gotta have loads of knobs for tweaking! Stuff like the microkorg where you have to dive into the menu's to edit is just not inspiring to me at least

Oh; and the new Moog MiniTaurus of whatever its called is MASSIVE I have the full blooded pedals and they rock the bass but a bit limited though in sound design

I want you to know that despite not hearing it for the best part of a year, I just found myself humming "the future's disappointing" at work

Thanks for the forum big-up, Mr Vom! Nearly ready to go again...
mooingmenace 2 weeks ago

I didn't see that last message before I responded, yes, it should be. Thank you again! I will start immediately.
mooingmenace 2 weeks ago

Thank you so much! I can't wait to work on it! I do have a dropbox. It's under morgan_joseph@hotmail.com. Thank you, and I'm not sure what to say about getting dubstep, haha. As for The Unicorns, definitely! Their songs are so different and fun.
mooingmenace 2 weeks ago

I was looking around the forum and I stumbled upon your bandcamp link (mainly interested by the free part :3) and the first song that caught my eye was "Dog Scientists". I must admit, I thought it was going to be one of those misleading song names but I was ~pleasantly~ surprised. I adore it! So much so, in fact, that I downloaded it, dropped it into Ableton, saw that it's close to 140bpm (for editing purposes), and after visiting your page and seeing your permission to remix, ask if I could possibly have the stems and promptly do so.

Of course, as long as you don't mind dubstep. My soundcloud link is in my profile. It has two dubstep edits and three original songs. The... quality will get slightly worse as you go down the list because it's in order of newest to oldest. I've never remixed a song before, but I would love to start with Dog Scientists.

That's the one. Strangely I couldn't remember the instrument, but remember it had slapback delay on it. Looking forward to your output, blud.
frenchcricket 2 weeks ago

I reckon I could turn around an instrumental track pretty quickly if you want to sing etc over it?

Hello! Interested in another collab this year? I saved the ideas we'd discussed during 50/90 (translation: I couldn't be bothered to do anything with them)
