Artist Bio
Influences: this and that, those and these, crackers and cheese
Klaus is in, Klaus is Finn, Klaus for win, Klaus don't know where his finger has been.
I live in Helsinki, Rock City. We have snow and frozen reindeer meat. Yummy yum yum!
FAWM 2013: 14 songs ( 4 collabs )
FAWM 2014: 0 songs ( had to move )
FAWM 2015: 0 songs ( family problems )
FAWM 2016: 8 songs ( 3 collabs )
FAWM 2017: 7 songs ( 2 collabs )
FAWM 2018: 14 songs! ( 10 collabs! )
FAWM 2019: 398 songs. That's right! I'll say it again slowly this time so you understand:.
..three...hundred...and...ninety...eight...songs...My personal all-time record. I can't believe I did it.
Or...or...I'll do about 14 songs. It's either 14 or 398. Could go either way, you never know. These things do happen.
My favourite song from last year's Fawm: Chakra Shimmy, lyrics by @pambowen1:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/4...
My artistic motto this year: "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club soda."
Have a good Fawm 2019 everybody!

Thank you for your kind comment on "I've Heard It All! Say It Again!! Any mic will shine on the right preamplifier. My SM57 was ran through a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface. So I guess it was quite of a match for the SM57.

thanks for listening and leaving such thoughtful comments. the leopards sexual indifference to the lioness is a red herring, thrown in at the very beginning to confound the listener. its not really out of place because it comes right at the beginning, and by the end of the first chorus, the listener has realized it was a joke that has little to do with the song, although on reflection it does not seem odd that the zookeeper is concerned about how much the leopard eats and that he may be an annoyance to the lioness that could arouse hostility in the lion.

Hello Klaus, thanks for your comment on Silver Ship. I wrote that using a weird version of A major, (don't tell the harmony police). I have small hands and G chords are so much easier to play, but it is too low for my voice, so me and my guitar have compromised, and I'm abandoning the rules of harmony this year, I'll see how it goes.

You're always welcome to "grab" anything I write, Klaus. Your musical skills and imagination are top-notch, as far as I'm concerned. I'd be more than happy to collaborate... ANY TIME!

Hey Klaus, when you get a chance, I couldn't stand it and developed my audio for "Freezing Your Ass Off" and used the Dropbox hack. The song sucks a little bit but I got a song on the board with audio now. Thank you.

398 is 28 and a half albums. You could start with a smaller goal and aim for a FAWM Squared, that's just 196 songs.
I wish you luck! -

Thanks Klaus. I'll donate the $10 and take my chances with Dropbox. I know the hack still works so as long as they can hear the audio it's all good. I wanted your opinion though before I donate. Thanks for your help.

Hi Klaus, I was wondering if I can get some advice from you please. I know the dropbox hack and I think it will work. I'm getting ready to donate but I'd rather host my files on dropbox. So it's a matter of $10 donation or $25 for the file hosting. I really don't have the money but if you think it is needed your advice would be very helpful. Thanks!
