I did a mini-feast to get me to double-FAWM the last day. Worth it!

So how can I sign up for the FAWM Slack? I don't see a way that I can set up a Slack account.

Kiitos kommentista. Se mun kitara on laminaattikantinen Yamaha, kieliä ei ole vaihdettu enkä toista kertaa vaihda. Soon viritetty ceehen. Helpompi soittaa. Tosin tuossa biisissä nostin sen Reaperissä Eb:hen.
Hienoa kun teet paljon kollaboraatioita. Enkuksi sanoittaminen on yllättävän vaikeaa ja paljon helpommalla pääse kun käyttää muiden sanoituksia. Se ei ole fifti-siksti vaan aina win-win tilanne. 😀 -

You have some really nice music, very talented. I have two sons and they're both big game fans and also into music. My oldest has been living in Stockholm for about a year and a half. He does metal music and just released his 2nd album on Bandcamp "Quell". Anyway, just wanted to say I looked at your web-site and listened to some of your songs here and you have some very interesting stuff.

Thanks for your comment on "perfect"! For sure, these lyrics are thought provoking. It deals with two different ways of interpreting perfectionism. The narrator states, that everybody is perfect even with his*her weaknesses - The lyrical "you" sticks on the common ideal of beauty, strength and intelligence.
Maybe you heard about that psychological mirror-effect, when people try to solve their problems by manipulating other people? So that's what the song is about. These people usually stick to ideals without noticing that this actually leaded to their frustration.
So the message of this song is simply: Be yourself, love yourself and don't listen to other people's comments. In terms of perfectionism it is up to you how you interpret it. -

Kiitti kuuntelusta, Eliteen (siihen kasariversioon!) tässä viitataan. Lave ja Leesti ovat kaksi aurinkokuntaa, joiden väliä tulee pelin alussa hinkattua yleensä mooonta kertaa. Space truckin'! Pitäis hankkia toi "uusi" Elite kanssa, niin pääsisi taas.

Haha kiitos kommentista. Olis aika päästä johonkin peliin mukaan. Aikoinaan tuli laitettua omat(ei oma tekoiset vaan omat playlistit) musiikit taustalle kun vielä tuli pelailtua.

Thanks for the comment on "Frawnds"! I guess I can hear PL now you mentioned it, though with the vocals I was aiming for a higher register. But there is the looping melody that stays the same even though the chords behind it shift that they employ(ed? I haven't kept tabs with them since Draconian Times) a lot. I've been thinking of doing the reverse track thing for a long time and here I thought why not give it a quick and dirty go. Maybe next time I'll have time to put some effort into it, so it'll sound even cooler.

Kiitos kauniista sanoistasi! Pitäisi vissiin kuunnella Crash Test Dummiesia enemmänkin, tunnen heiltä vain hitit...tai siis hitin. Mutta se on kyllä hyvä hitti.

Oleppa hyvä. Autossa kuuntelin niin en huomannut että suomalainenhan siellä. No kuka muukaan laulais hiihtämisestä. Haha.

Hu Juha, I can't use pm as it asks me for Outlook and for some reason Outlook doesn't work on my computer. Could you pm me please and I'll send you MP3 or Wav for your consideration. Let me know what you prefer. Thank you.

@scubed Feb 4
I came up blank in a skirmish today, so I drew three of the Bard cards - and voila! I immediately had a song idea. Thanks for the inspiration!
-
@petemurphy Feb 4
Yeah, it was great. I listened last week. I enjoyed hearing you talk about meditation, and I found some of the conversation about squirrel currency and loose change to be very funny 😄
-
@gslade Feb 4
And you deserve each and every second of it!

@gslade Feb 4
Wanted you to know you made it happen.

Hey, are there FAWMTalks this year? I have a lot more time than usual and I would love to listen or help organize a regular show if nothing is planned ATM.
-
@gslade Feb 3
Got like half of the lyrics written for the beat you sent me. Nearly there. I'll bounce it back to you so you can level it out how you like.
-
@musicsongwriter Feb 3
Sounds awesome. I'll think of the instrumental and will create something as soon as I can. I'll use the message way once I have something in mind. Thank you.
-
@lastnightilie Feb 3
Hey whatever you think would work for my voice I'm open! I really don't have much experience writing/singing anything other than acoustic folk, but I'm trying to expand my horizons, and what better place/time than FAWM?
-
@musicsongwriter Feb 3
Thank you Juha, so if you are looking for a challenge and you prefer gothic let's make some sweet song 😀
-
@musicsongwriter Feb 2
Hi Juha, I'm not in a slack and I'm hoping to avoid anything scarry as I already had a scarry card which resulted in a scarry instrumental lol. Otherwise I'm open to any collaborations, always interesting to create a song together.
-
@lastnightilie Feb 2
Hey! Thanks for the compliment. I'm not on Slack as I tried it and didn't really like it. I'm looking to do more toplining, writing the lyrics and melody over an existing track... would you want to do that, write a track for me that I can sing over?
-Edit- You can email me, or just post a track and tag me if you want? Whatever's easiest for you! -
@jamkar Feb 2
Yeah I am in slack. But all I see there is FAWM poetry.
-
@cblack Feb 2
Right! Mellow AND weird! That's actually so much in my wheelhouse it's funny. 😝
I won't be able to record 'til tomorrow, but I'll think up some lyrics today, probably. -
@sapient Feb 2
Got it! I'm in! 😃
-
@sapient Feb 2
Hmm. Any idea how I create a Slack account? That link doesn't let me in, and all I see is a way to reset a password, not create an account...
-
@sapient Feb 2
Symphonic things sound great! We could build up something instrumental and then see if it needs vocals...
Slack? No. But happy to hop in if you want to share a link! -
@cblack Feb 2
I could try writing some lyrics with the title "Thought Valley", and then do vocals and email you the .wav or put it on SoundCloud to download, then you do the instruments?
Let me know what style you normally play, and whether you want me to go full on metal or something lighter with the vocals.
Looking forward to it! -
@mistermann Feb 2
Alrighty, so what I'm hearing is if I added a sprinkle of instruments then you could work that into whatever final arrangement you come up with.
I'll bear that in mind as I chew on ideas! -
@mistermann Feb 2
Saw your collab post on the forums! I took a listen to Aurora and take it you're more of a production/arrangement guy.
Whaddya say I work up some chords and a few vocal layers and toss those over your way sometime this month for a collab? -
@mariekevinkmusic Feb 2
Emotional blackmail! What do you have in mind? Music or lyrics?

Hey Juha. 😀
Sorry it took so long to drop by. -
@seemanski Jan 28
That is usually how I tend to fall flat, I forget to read things. Thanks for the tip 😁. I am now able to speak.
-
@seemanski Jan 28
Yeah, I have joined the discord channel. Unfortunately, I don't have any permissions to actually say anything so I just have to observe and stay quiet (probably not a bad thing TBF 😝)

@dreamscuba Jan 28
@fuzzy and @ianuarius ..."I work on myself rather than demand that others change."
Me too. I am part of a fellowship that suggests that I do that too...if I want to be at peace! -
@fuzzy Jan 27
"I work on myself rather than demand that others change."
What an excellent statement.
Me too. -
@seemanski Jan 27
Are you still doing that slack channel? I might brave a visit. Although I find I just get a bit lost with it all and never know what to say.
-
@seemanski Jan 27
Hello there, hope you are ok? Sorry I dropped off the chat on 5090, I always struggle with that challenge, usually start it then loose interest really quickly.
-
@sierain Jan 27
Tännekö täällä kuuluu vastata (ja suomeksi vielä)?
Joo, kyllä mä nyt meinasin itteni pakottaa tähän taas! Viime vuosina ei ole tullut juurikaan soiteltua, mutta mitäpä pienistä. Hampaat irvessä vaan jotain pakettiin. -
@andrewjtaylor Jan 26
What a great reply! And songwriting, if done right, can certainly be a great tool for that sel-work, if we realize we’re just as flawed as our audience and just as in need of our own message.
-
@andrewjtaylor Jan 26
Just 1 week till FAWM!
With all the turmoil since last FAWM, & especially since November, it's hard to feel quite as amped up about it.
"Unnecessary creation" just feels a little less necessary than usual.
But...the artists (music & video creators, especially) are arguably the most influential modern-day philosophers, & every day/week/month/year we spend honing our craft is a day/week/month/year invested in our contribution to our culture, no matter how small our circle of influence.
Hope you have a great Feb./FAWM, no matter how you spend it. -
@kathym Jan 24
No problem on the bard cards. It was a cool concept and very nicely done!
-
@nuj4x Jan 22
All is forgiven, Juha. <3

@cleansupafterburn Jan 20
Don't forget to literally glue a D20 somewhere nearby facing up on the 2 (with the extra 2 etched in already). Natural 22 on all your writes.

@sph Jan 19
"Günther and the Amazing Running Dinner" - you mean the german comedian? Great skit.
Have a nice FAWM -
@fuzzy Jan 17
I did mention to him that it is a work in progress. When you finish it I'd like to read the whole thing.
-
@fuzzy Jan 17
Hey, I just finished reading your essay; really great stuff!!
I have found other essays and recommendations to be either useless or confusing (or both), but yours is really practical and useful. I especially liked your concentration on Focus and Relaxation; two excellent ideas I am going to keep in the forefront of my mind from now on when I play. I also enjoyed your "it's all gonna be ok" attitude.
I'm going to send the link to a guitarist friend of mine if you don't mind; he will probably get some use out of it.
Really really great stuff.
Thanx for sharing! -

I actually recognize a couple - Yanni and Zac Brown Band. Ha!

@brownium Jan 14
Well, I figured it was a show - but it's a good show. 😀
I was in Finland last year (well, 2019), should have thought to look you up. Next time. -
@brownium Jan 14
Hey Ianaurius! love your profile picture - fuzzy, but you look happy. Looking forward to another go.

Indeed! Everyone's taste is so different and there's always something to appreciate in different music.
