Influences: 70s disco, 80s powerballads, 90s eurodance, 00s j-rock, 10s progmetal, 20s retrowave. Oh, and Bach. Let's not forget Bach.
Jackfruit of all trades.
Spacewave nostalgia in E minor.
Too many French horns, too many vocal tracks, too much reverb.

I have always enjoyed listening to and making music.
In 2020, I finally started recording and producing my own music, and I love everything about it.

Looking forward to meeting new people here, perhaps collaborating, and composing a boatload of songs!

Thanks a lot for comment - have a nice year <3
cheers! "who am I to give you advice"? I totally respect and value your opinion so I'll def give it a go! thanks a bunch; still need to check out your remaining songs but thank you so much for the support this FAWM!
hey, thanks for the note on my soundboard and congratulations to "winning"!
Hey there! Congrats to 14 songs! That's really amazing and an impressive journey so far. I know you already reached the FAWM goal, but I was wondering if you're still open for a collab. I'd really like to give a 80s Synthpop beauty a try. What do you think?
Congrats on making it to 14! I hope you had an awesome experience with FAWM. I shall be back to give your tunes a listen!
Hi and thx again! You are really following and doing so lot of comments. It means a great to me, and is so much appreciated. TXH!
Ohja du hast definitv Recht damit, dass man als Musiker*in seinen*ihren Musik einfach selbst machen kann, wenn einem der aktuelle Stil nicht passt. Ich glaube ich bin in den 00ern hängen geblieben.
Vocals can be tricky but generally when I mix them in I’ll cut out low frequencies that aren’t needed, and focus on the bits that can be heard. I’ll also give it a little compression to help. Not sure if that helps at all lol. (I also tend to use excessive reverb and delay lol)
Hey, thank you SO much for taking the time to listen to my concept album. Your feedback has totally made my day! I hope I get the courage to revisit it someday ater FAWM and finish it. It definitely helps knowing that people enjoy it. 🙂
Well, I tried hard to morph your song for chain 6 but your music is so totally awesome making it really impossible for me, a lyricist and very untrained and unpolished musician to follow. I tried though! If you want I can add you as a collaborator as I kept many of your words but I was not sure you would want that. Just let me know! Liz

Danke für deine Kommentare zu meinen Songs! Freut mich dass sie dir gefallen 😀
"Fight for you" wird definitiv fertig gestellt. Ich habe die Besetzung zusammen, aber es kann noch ein paar Wochen / Monate dauern, bis die finale Version kommt. Dieses Frage-Antwort-Spiel nutze ich recht selten als Songwriting-Technik, aber ich finde langsam auch Gefallen daran. In welchem Song hast ud es verwendet?
Was "All Hallow's Eve" betrifft hast du definitiv Recht, dass das vom Gruftie-Techno inspiriert wurde! Ich vermisse solche Musik total. Die Elektroszene spaltet sich grade in das Synthwave-Vapourwave-80er und Festival-EDM-Slap-House Lager auf. Der gute alte 00er Hardtrance und Aggrotech ist tot 😞
Thank you for the comparison to "Jesus He Knows Me", I don't know how I'd never heard that song before but definitely needed it in my life!
Hey, lieben Dank für Deinen tollen Kommentar auf "Dáleigh O´Fleiarty". Ich habe den Dudelsack mit meinem Synth eingespielt - also es sind keine Echten. Aber ich finde sie auch recht realistisch klingend. Lieben Dank
danke dir für deinen Kommentar 😀 Ich nehme mir jedes Jahr vor, dass ich mal weg von Gitarre und deutschen Texten komme, aber dann steht der schwarze Hund in der Diele und es bleibt bei dem Setup wie immer 😏
Thanks for the comments on Empty Lake, there is reverb on there but it's mostly buried, it's a one mic recording with a second guitar slapped on it. so most of the song (clean guitar and vocals are on the same track).
Hello! Thank you for your comment on "Inner Fire"! To answer your question - yes, the drums are programmed. I'm really glad you were able to notice and appreciate this layer, since I tend to pay a lot of attention to the rhythm elements in my tracks.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my skirmish song!
I wrote something cheesy, fluffy and self-deprecating, but I'm not quite sure it fits the bill. I'm working on a couple more lyrics so you'll have a few to pick and choose from. Where can I send them to?
Either way is fine by me. 😀 If you've got a track or band you like (for reference), I can try to write something similar. And I'll try my best not to be ironic about it. 😉 Are you thinking something "large and hairy", musically speaking, but with a more modern vibe to it?
Hi! Up for our random collab? How about an 80's power ballad? 😉 On an unrelated note, I love your art!
Hey thanks for always stopping by on my songs, I appreciate it!
Yeah...I know the synthvox isn't for everyone. I started using years ago because I needed vocals and had no one in real life I could go to, found this and it was free, and it was pretty easy to use. I think its just grown on me, honestly. Like an old friend lol
will be getting around to some more of your stuff soon.
Thanks for the feedback on my song... it's a synth with formant, I think... it's definitely not a voiceguitar, I can't play guitar to save my life 😀
@chroes No, I actually have no clue how to make or mix good drums. But I'm using MT Power Drumkit (thats free) and it sounds pretty decent out of the box.
The only other thing I know about drumming is, that drummers usually try to count the beats with their lead hand on the cymbals and I try to mimic that somehow. And always combine the guitarists Palm mute with the bass drum, that makes it sound thick.
Hey! 😀 Thank you again for your feedback on "Sleepless". The bass is a Plugin in Reason "Reason Electric Bass" (a Rackextension, no VST).
Cheers, Jens.
Amazing - thank you very much for your lovely comments on my songs <3 (in "Troll-Trap" it's a tenor horn / tuba, but that doesn't matter 😉 )
Heartly thanks to you
Thanks!! We’ll be posting it to bandcamp and probably spotify etc as well. 😀.Glad you enjoyed it!
Appreciate the feedback dear 😀
Another NaNo & Inktober-er! I'd love to see your artwork. Cheers to being strange!
Thank you very much for you kind comments on my songs. 😀 Much appreciated!
Hey, danke für "DO RE MI"! 😀 Ja, ich finde auch, dass sich die zwei, drei Stündchen gelohnt haben. Werde das Backing sicher noch für nen anderen Song verwenden, momentan hört sich das für mich zu sehr nach Reinhard Mey an, der sich im Genre verlaufen hat! Und die Begrenzung auf drei Singtöne ist schon auch recht limitierend...
Nein, danke Dir für Deine Kommentare Du schenkst mir damit viel Gefühl - Danke <3
Thanks for the comment on the song of storms and your kind words 😀 It's like you said, with a daw you have all the possibilities for mixing and mastering right at your fingertips. You could even create a whole new sound layer on top of everything. It's not easy to restrain yourself with that. But thats the nice thing about fawm, you are kinda forced to make some restrictions for the sake of creativity.
Hi!
Ich bedanke mich sehr für deine Aufmerksamkeit und das Hineinhören in meine Sachen. Fand ich sehr nett von dir! Danke auch für deine Worte im Forum.
Ja, wie du vielleicht schon gehört hast, liebe ich die musikalische Abwechslung. Deinen Kommentar zu "Yeah Yeah Yeah" und den Vergleich mit Farin Urlaub fand ich megawitzig: Kürzlich wurde mir gesagt, ich würde haargenau wie Rod Gonzales klingen! Fehlt nur noch Bela B., dann wären die Ärzte komplett! 😀 Ist eigentlich so gar nicht meine Musik, habe es nur so rausgerotzt, dabei aber gemerkt, dass es mir nen Riesenspaß gemacht hat! Wer weiß, vielleicht werde ich auf meine alten Tage noch zum Punk! 😉
Viele Grüße,
Volker
Hey there!
Thanks for your comments on 'Worthy," but I'm not really looking to collab right now.
Thank you for the kind words on " Right Inside Our Door".
Hey Chris, danke fürs zuhören und kommentieren. Sehr nett. Ich mag deine Contemporary Calligraphies Serie sehr, dieser starke Schwung in den Bildern ist sehr ansprechend. Und Deine Cover Gestaltungen für deine Bandcamp Alben sind auch ein Genuss. Jetzt freu ich mich schon auf deinen Sound. Bis dann denn.
Thanks for your kind comment on Sky and Clouds. Have a great weekend! 😀
Thanks - all the guitars are me playing a real instrument. Parker Fly Mojo MIDI (my fave guitar) into a bunch of effects, then DI'd into the mixer.
You wasted no time catching up! Nicely done! 😀
Thanks for your comment on my song. I used RealStrat with an amp simulator. Maybe there will be a collaboration to finish this song with real instruments.
Thanks for the feedback on my latest song! I am still working on distortion as it pertains to my (bass) drums. Hopefully, I get that ironed out! Thanks again!
Hi, thanks for the listen! Those are doubled vocals with a reverb effect slapped on with the Bandlab app.
Glad that you're here, looking forward to hearing more of your songs! 😀
Thx again for comments! "Indeed" Much appreciated!
Can't wait to hear more of your songs !
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome und viel Spaß!
Thank you for your comment, glad someone liked it:)
Thx a lot for comments on "Consciousness". Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for comment
Ach ja, im Forum gibts einen thread für Fawmlinge (also Newbies), falls du Fragen hast oder so.
Gefunden!
In den Foren findest du, wenn du magst, einen deutschen thread, wo alle von hier Hallo sagen (und gucken, wer wieder mit von der Partie ist und wer neu). Ansonsten: Willkommen!
