Hello 2026! FAWMer since 2008; she/her/Nord Electro 3/Pro Tools.

Hi all! Add me to the list of folks packing to move right now, though in our case we are packing a pod as "part one" for 27-30 july. The trailer "part two," where the apartment gets emptied for reals, is in september. I've packed enough other stuff, I have time after this sprint to pack my studio.

Telling the truth, sprinting a song in 1.5 days, then using the other 0.5 day for task switching to listen/comment and then task switch again to sprint the next song ... is the mode of FAWM I now love the least. I prefer longer form challenges and collabs.

Coincidentally, a few weeks ago we started planning a 9-track release of previous FAWM and 50/90 work. So we might use these sprint days to do the production work that each of these 9 songs requires, on their assigned day, no procrastinating.

Yet! I've always felt that writing NEW songs during FAWM is the price of admission to comment on YOUR songs, so, I might squirt out 5 forgettable things using my secret sock-puppet account that has no friends on here 😀

Sprint day 1 - track 1 needs some instrument replacements and a remix. Bounced and handed off to the pro! Sprint day 2 - Sprint day 3 -
