Artist Bio
Influences: Anything that sounds good to my ears or that I can't get out of my head.
Please feel free to critique! It helps me to learn.
I play what sounds good to me. FAWM is fun because I have complete control, for better or for worse. My goals this year are to improve on my mic choice and placement, mixing/eq-ing, and hopefully encourage as many of the people around me to be a part of FAWM to any degree, including my wife and son, if possible. I also would enjoy collaborating again with my brother, Zecoop (thank you for getting me into this), as well as others who are interested. Writing another children's song with my son is another goal; I didn't manage to reach that goal last year.
I truly admire the creativity in others and am energized when I am fortunate to have a spark myself, too. I also do appreciate collaborations and will do whatever I have time for.
Everything that I record is with a variety of microphones and mic preamps into Reaper, as I want to learn and practice these skills. I am planning to do the same this year, but hopefully better...let me know how I can improve. Advice and constructive criticism is encouraged.
I DO NOT have any preconceived notions of what the vocals should or could be....at all. I don't write words. I try to focus on the music. So, if you have ideas for vocals on any of my songs, please feel free to do so. I don't write lyrics, but generally try to write songs that give singers a great opportunity to do what they do best.
Best wishes to you!
I did a preFAWM cover this year....
Check it out.

Mostly whatever happens, hoping I can push myself to new styles, play a bit more of my other instruments and work on my singing again. 😀
Hoping I might squeeze in another collab to one of your songs! Last year's was fun. -

Hi! I've done four years of mostly acoustic recordings, and I want to force myself to write something different - putting these restrictions on myself seemed a good way to start.

Nice to hear from you. We are here again this year (my wife and I) and we're looking forward to a creative month. We are also hoping to listen more to others and comment. Didn't do nearly enough of that last year. I'm totally looking forward to hearing what you come up with this year.

Woo woo! Nice to hear from you. The Kemper amp is a ridiculous piece of equipment. I couldn't do it justice with an explanation, but it's worth googling.
No, I don't have any kind of plan. Whenever I do make FAWM plans, they always end up changing once I get into the flow.
Hope all is good with you, and hope you have fun. -

For Axel Auerbach I'm trying to focus on music I can do live without accompaniment. Also, I really dislike lugging around a lot of equipment so it comes down to me singing and strumming or fingerpicking an acoustic guitar. I'd like to be more experimental though and maybe expand that setup a little in the future.
And during FAWM, anything is possible anyway 😀 -

Heya, dude. I hope your fawm is awesome (and I know it will be.)
re: Drums - No idea if I'll drum at all (although I've been challenged to a newbie drum off already... oh, and a tentative punk song collaboration.) Drumming is just the most fun musical experience I've ever had in my life. I'm definitely a beginner but then again I've learned a ton already this month so... no expectations? -

I think the CP30 is one of the greatest instruments ever created. Just my 2 cents. But I'm right! 😁

@thesteadfast 3 days
Yeah, I've been doing some harder rock stuff, mostly instrumental. Not really sure what genre it is specifically, but basically anything harder than what I would put on my own album. I might throw some previous demos on a cloud for people to listen to soon. 😀

The new FAWMling is a month and a half. He's doing great and is very easy to take care of, but the older one needs more attention lately now that she's not the only one. I'm sure you know how that goes 😁
Congrats on your new kid as well! -
@airbagtester 1 week
Hey! The kids are great; the oldest is almost 4 and we're totally gonna start a band called Dinosaur Birthday. She likes to play drums. Her little brother can't really do much yet but he's her #1 fan.
I will see how time permits for FAWM 2019... I am in the midst of a career change, and combined with the new kid I might not have the energy 😏 -

I guess no keepers, didn’t have as much enthusiasm or focus as previous years. 2019 will be better! Good to see you too 😀

Hey there! Appreciate the watchlist add 😀 I am indeed planning on taking part again this year (FAWM No. 7 for me!). My first FAWM as a dad though so I'm not sure if I'll have quite the amount of time I've been used to in previous years. I'll do my best! You all good to go again?

Hi there! Thanks, I appreciate the nice words. yeah last year was a hurricane kind of a year for me so I'm truly glad I took part in fawm. I am so much looking forward for this year, I got new electric guitar and new bass guitar, my first, in all of my life, so I'm excited to see what I can bring with it. How about you?
