Artist Bio
Influences: Far too many but a few are....Beatles, Brian Wilson, mozart, Debussey, Stone Roses, Carpenters, Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, New Order, Shack, The Las, Status Quo, Burt Bacharach, The Kinks, Super Furry Animals and more melodic beautifilicious people!!
Well hello beautiful FAWM family . Guess what ? I am out in Thailand once again but this year I shall be back with full studio by Feb 21st.
However I fully intend to do a few things now I have become an iPhone master and shrunk all my fingers so I can play phone piano 😀.
As always up for any Collabs with anybody (and more than happy to share my how to shrink your fingers knowledge 😜) .
I don’t have any plan for what is going to come out of me ( lovely) but I must say being here on koh phayam is beautifully inspiring for song writing . The lyrics may annoy you as I may mention the odd beautiful scene here and there .
Finally , let’s all have a wonderful time and enjoy the magic of creating without limitations with all the wonderful variety of musical magic that is floating around our different continents . (I have checked with Mr tit head Johnson ( our prime minister ) and despite brexit , I am allowed to collaborate with Europeans 🙏🏻😜❤️.
So 20 days iPhone only creations then ( not good at maths ) a few days full studio bashing when I return . Am thinking of having an extra week off purely for fawm after all debt is just a number .
For those interested I released a rock and acoustic double album prior to Xmas which may tickle your fancy including collabs with a few fawmers most noteably @zeecoup so feel free to pop to below for a listen. They have also just been released on all digital platforms . Woohooo .

It would be a pleasure to have you visit us. Many find the midwestern part of the US one of the friendliest places in our country. Cleveland - 18,000 acres of parkland, a big freshwater lake, one of the world's finest symphony orchestras, The Cleveland Clinic, Playhouse Square.

@srcoops Mar 17
Thank you for the very kind message you sent regarding Silent Phone.. The friends at FAWM were very helpful in starting the process of getting through the loss of Tom. Hope the time until the next FAWM will be good for you.
-
@cynthiawolff Mar 8
Good Morning!
Got your message..
I think I can figure out how to do that..
Will do it later ..just woke up..
Our song plays continually in my head...” if you need me....if you feel me...
Don’t test my soul!!! -
@owl Mar 6
Aw thank you so much for the sweet comments! We should definitely collab next year!

@acousticmaddie Mar 5
Thank you for this years FAWM. It has been an honor and I will stoick around too listen a bit but maybe not as frequent as before. I am always reachable trough mail and Facebook /Maddie

@audrey Mar 5
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my music and for your kind words. You're on my watchlist too from last year. 😀 Hope you had a great FAWM

@sph Mar 4
Karl, thanks for your words on the song with @acousticmaddie 's lyrics.
-
@kahlo2013 Mar 1
Karl!!! Wow!!! Your music blows me away! Your vocals are absolutely incredible and the music is brilliant! I love the differences between sections that really make the sentiment shine! I am so very grateful for this ‘random’ collaboration with you - but now it doesn’t feel so random - it feels like your incredible music was absolutely needed to make these lyrics sing! Love it! Thank you’ I look forward to listening to more of your music this month!

@judypie Mar 1
Hahahah not on your life! I am over and out til 2021 X

@majordanby Feb 29
Congrats on your win!
Thanks for your lovely feedback. I got a nasty chest cold mid feb and my voice is broken so gave up this year. First failure in my 10 years here. Ho hum.
There’s always next year! -
@kahlo2013 Feb 29

@kahlo2013 Feb 29
That would be awesome!

@rshakesp Feb 28
Thanks for your kind comments. We had a lot of fun making that tune!
-
-
@angelinapowersuit Feb 27
Hi Karlos! Thanks so much for your feedback on "Her Man," I don't typically double up on my voice these days, but on this one because I felt my voice needed a little umph. Yes, I play the violin on this tune but usually I play the viola. Happy to play on anything of yours, you don't have to hire me haha.
-
@adforperu Feb 27
Haha, yeah I assume it's this! https://adfollett.bandcamp.com/track/...
Alas, I don't think I invented the chord, so you're off the hook 😝 Regardless, it's a very excellent song! -
@hamiltonpoolhall Feb 27
Aw, thanks for another kind comment (on "Tick Tock"). I've been a terrible FAWM citizen this year but look forward to catching up on all you've been up to, as it's always some of my favorite material to hear!
-
@tamsnumber4 Feb 27
Thank you so much for your kind comments on my song "Bench by the Sea", I really needed a boost like that to get me to the finish line!
-
@sunnymae Feb 27
Thanks Karlos for chiming in on my 14th tune..To Love. I'm so glad you enjoyed the harmonies. I'm looking forward to a good remix when I get back in the studio. Cheers!
-
@kahlo2013 Feb 27
Thanks!

@kahlo2013 Feb 27
Hi,
Would either of these work for you?

If not I can send you something else I am working on -
@willie70hawkins Feb 26
Hey Karl, thanks for the look see and welcome back.
-
@gm7 Feb 26
Thx for the wonderful remarks...Ya.. sitting on a beach in the hot sun of Thailand having a cool drink and listening to music sounds awesome! I'm jealous.
You have a good ear it's a Martin and a Taylor guitar(l-r) with a little bit of delay. 80-20 mix for each channel. Enjoy the hammock!! -
@johnstaples Feb 26
Hey Karl! Thanks for your kind words on Shining Light! When I make it back across the pond I'm def gonna look you up and we'll play some music! Cheers!
-
@tamsnumber4 Feb 25
Thank you for commenting on my collab song "This Time", I appreciate it!

@engebretsen Feb 25
Thx for comments on my wave song. Nothing like being in paradis and listen to waves.
-
@judypie Feb 25
Ooh my speciality is dippy eggs with soldiers but anything for you Karl! 😁
-
@kahlo2013 Feb 24
Awesome! I can send you some lyrics for the random collaboration. Is there any topic you would like me to write about or any genre you prefer? Or any you want me to avoid? I’m looking forward to collating with you! Love your music!
-
@sph Feb 24
Well, a delay and some reverb was also used 😉
Good idea to do a tea song as well! -
@sph Feb 24
Full vocal sound? Recording chain is Aston Origin mic into an Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 interface. But I think insufficient sleep, attenting a soccer game as well as a birthday celebration and too much kilometers on the highway must also be taken into the equation.
-
@sunnymae Feb 24
I will definitely keep you abreast of my travels!
-
@spunky4455 Feb 24
Hi, I'm really happy that you liked my latest song. It was a weight off of my soul to finish it.
-
@judypie Feb 24
Ah dude, come and visit us in our shack in Chesterfield any time! We have tea! 😁
-
@judypie Feb 24
Heheheh if you think I know what any of the knobs in his studio do then... Nope 😝 But yes I quite agree, I would do SWIMMINGLY in a hammock in Thailand ❤️
-
@judypie Feb 24
Heheheh I sure do feel ZESTY 😁 I’m full of BEANS Karl! Ah man, Ad is so mad at me.. you should see the other side of the bed that I didn’t show... it’s 3 weeks worth of clothes in a 6 by 6 foot pile 😂 Hehe you know I only have a guitar, iPad and notepad and pen here Karl!! Love my portable studio 😁 I always ask Ad to ‘pass me my studio’ when i need my iPad and notebook 😛
-
@judypie Feb 23
Do you think he bloody lets me touch anything in his studio Karl? 😂 I literally just got an iPad up in here!
-
@judypie Feb 22
Burrrrrrr, I’m glad his performance inspired you! 😝 I’ll keep my eyes peeled!
-
@judypie Feb 22
Oh Karl, I just fucked my voice to high hell laying down a track tonight but as if I could ever say no to you! Please email it and I will let you know if I can do it x

-
@musicsongwriter Feb 22
Hi Karl, you are very welcome, I spoke from my heart and I meant every word I said. I absolutely loved Awakened Dream and other songs I had the chance to hear on your page. You are creating masterpieces! And yes I'll be absolutely delighted to collaborate with you. It will be amazing to collaborate again.
Have a fantastic weekend Karl. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing songs with us.
Nadia ~ -
@russiasaturn Feb 22
Cool that sounds great! I have a couple half-formed thematic ideas I wasn't sure I'd develop this month, maybe one of those will pair nicely
-
@russiasaturn Feb 22
Sure, you can send the tune my way and I'll see if inspiration hits! I'd love to try. Fair warning, I have 5-6 collabs I'm working on finishing up before the end of the month, and we're getting pretty close! But let me listen to it, if inspiration comes quickly maybe I can get something done. Just send me an email and we can chat more. missus.wells@gmail.com 😀
-
@russiasaturn Feb 22
Thank you so much for the kind comments on my collab w/ Mike! Looking forward to catching up on your stuff 😀

@cynthiawolff Feb 20
Hiya! Welcome home...I’m afraid I am having tech difficulties trying to send you a file..I’m starting to stress so can we pass this year? If I figure it out I’ll sent it to you..I keep getting failure to send notices...
I’m still laboring away at a couple projects. See you in the trenches ..xxxc -
@guatecoop Feb 19
Oh it’s on, man. Go for it!!
-
@bradbrubaker Feb 18
Thank you for the compliments! I mix on headphones so hopefully big speakers still sound good, haha. Yeah, I play drums...Garageband drums.
-
@zecoop Feb 18
Thank you my friend... It'll be good to have you back (although it won't be nearly as nice weather for you). I'm glad you had a good trip though!! Yeah, unfortunately, the Shindig has been sent to CTS for his funky jelly, but I'm sure there will be more... Side note, I did get funky before, a few years ago on this one:
Two Town Shuffle

-
@sph Feb 12
Thank you for your comment! Funny thing about the guitar strums: after recording them I decided to mute them but they accidentally found they way into the final mix. Now I like them 😀
-
@teapot Feb 11
Thank you, thank you for such a kind comment! So, so appreciated 😀
-
@kristi Feb 11
Oh, lucky you....well if you do fancy music for Island Adventure, your perspective would be authentic! And if you do, feel free to change the gender/names!
-
@cindyrella Feb 11
Sure!
-
@haim Feb 7
Hi Karl! Just wanted to say thank you for the encouragement (That I really neede!) on my last (first) song. You changed my perspective and I became positive and confident after what you wrote. It's like you reminded me what to feel. Thanks mate hope your'e Thiland experience is extra ordinary man! Sending Love!
-
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 7
Kburg, thanks for the nice comments on "Poison Control." I think musical tingles are the best compliment one artist can give another, so thank you for that! Much appreciated! It was wild one to write and record.

Thanks for the nice comment! I'd be happy to lend vocals on something, send me a message!

@musicsongwriter Feb 3
Thank you so much Karl for your beautiful comment on Dear Gosha.
Here is the story behind my piece: I composed my piano piece for a Sunday skirmish prompt. Given theme: animal. This theme took me back to the time when we used to have a beautiful blue bird, a budgie called Gosha. He was a wonderful, caring, highly intelligent bird. When he passed away I was very sad and tearful. I still feel the sense of loss, after all these years. This music is for you, Gosha. I also dedicate it to pets who were loved but who left this world. -
