The past year has been a bit of a wild ride. Not only do I still have an unenviable collection of kidney and gall stones, but since the last FAWM I have:

discovered that I am autistic
discovered that I've got ADHD
discovered that I have complex-PTSD
worked on music projects with Chris Merrick Hughes and Portishead's Adrian Utley
recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studio with Robert Brian and David Rhodes...

Congrats on the win!!! Came across this track by @dunwich that you might like... https://fawm.org/songs/325536

@headfirstonlyMod 16h

Very much my sort of thing. Lovely to see Cameron is back at it!

@andyt13 1d

Finally had a chance to sit and give this whole batch a good listen. The level of creativity on display is, frankly, daunting. Makes me want to rethink my life choices LOL my whole thing together doesn't sound as good as any one of these. Excellent work!

@ericalbert 2d

I started reading about your musical adventures and then realized how much was there. To be returned to in a month that's NOT February. But in the meantime I was inspired by your journey and it made me wonder: could I interest you in guiding me on my journey to use my DAW at a professional level? (Compensated, of course!) In any case, I'm terrifically impressed by your work and I'm not easy to impress. Keep it up!

@engebretsen 6d

Wow! Thanks a lot for the great comment on "Solar Node" That make my day for sure.

@jamkar 1w

Impressive start Chris. You are uniquely setting out to blow FAWM away with your prog creativity.

@headfirstonlyMod 6d

Thanks, Mike! These days doing this is as much about remaining sane as anything else. Happy FAWMing!

@cts 1w

Hey bud - did you get my email?

@headfirstonlyMod 1w

I did - haven't had a chance to work on it yet...

@cts 1w

Ok - good deal. No rush on my end.

@torniojaws 1w

You could call that studio a music factory!

@headfirstonlyMod 1w

It's the Wood Room. A lot of very successful albums have been recorded in there!

@nadine 1w

Wow there is a lot going on in your life recently. Fingers crossed you get something out of your system and turn into odd prog goodness. All the best :)

@cts 1w

You've been on the go in a big way. Let me dive in a little before it's back to work. Also, did you see my email?

@sbs 1w

Cool, cool studio photo!

@newukenewyork 1w

Thanks for posting the ZeroGPT link! I tested my lyrics and it agreed I'm human. Whew! ;)

@headfirstonlyMod 1w

Haha - that's always reassuring to discover! :-)

@janeg 2w

That’s a lot to have to learn to cope with! But it seems so many of the most creative, talented people I know are acquiring such labels. Badges of honour maybe.

@gordon 2w

Hi Chris, so good to see you back again. Re some comments in your bio, well, it really has been a year hasn't it. I feel like we are kindred spirits, having similar experiences myself. In fact, I wrote a song about it, ha ha. (A sense of self) Happy FAWMING

@chill4matt 2w

Happy FAWMing Chris! I hope that the COVID bug is gone!

@sailingmagpie 2w

Hey, Chris. Hope you have a great FAWM!

Totally agree with you on AI. Why would I give my time to listen to something that someone couldn't be bothered to put time into creating?

PS Adrian Utley! 🤩

@damschen 2w

Happy FAWM! Can't wait!

@heliosonorous 2w

Look forward to your new works!

@acousticmaddie 2w

Hi Chris! I look forward to hear your songs this year. Happy Fawm

@beej 2w

Hola Chris!

@musicsongwriter 2w

Thank you Chris. I'm looking forward to hearing your music 🎶

@andygetch 2w

Lets. Do. This.

@musicsongwriter 2w

Happy FAWM Chris 🎶

@johnstaples 2w

Hey Chris, have a great FAWM!

@headfirstonlyMod 2w

Hi John - thanks! Happy FAWMing!

@reinderd 2w

Good to see you in here again, Chris!

@dragondreams 2w

Hi Chris! 👋 😃

@ajna1960 2w

Good to see that you have survived ! Can't wait to hear your FAWMing this year.

@squirrelhavenstudios 2w

That pic of you with Hugh Padgham (on the New Gear forum) is awesome. To this day, my favorite song is still Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. I just love the sound of Ghost in the Machine.

@fuzzy 2w

Hey, glad to be back and to see you back!!! I will be as surprised as you by the output here at Fuzzy Sound Labs; I never know what's going to happen!!!

@robertmyers 2w

Whew - wild ride, indeed! Although it's never been officially identified I suspect I share some of the early points on that list. I hope items 4 & 5 helped smoothed out the rest.

Here's to a successful FAWM and more music brought to a world that's also a bit more rough around the edges, this year.
