Artist Bio

Influences: Good music only. I like good music. I don't like bad music. Bad music is not so good.

Hi everybody. My name is Klaus and I'm a red-faced Finn with a dead animal on my head. It's warm!

I'll probably do mostly fairly simple acoustic demos and collaborate with lyrics writers. I want to write 14 songs but that doesn't always happen. I want to give comments back and that usually happens.

Got no Bandcamp or Soundcloud, I'm not in Facebook, so here's the last song I did in Fawm 2019 if you want to get a taste of Klaus.

"Don't Get Me Wrong":

https://www.dropbox.com/s/3tawg4lthau...

I hope you all have an Ûber-Fantastic Fawm 2020!

Thank you so much for the kind words about my songs Caring Neighbours and A Special Moment. Much appreiciated.
@ttg105 Mar 1

Thanks, Klaus! I really love those major and minor sevenths!
@katmtl Feb 29

Hey there! I’m glad you loved Pikachu’s Revenge! You rock!❤️❤️❤️
@roblincoln Feb 29

Thanks for your comments just now on my Country Garden song. I love Green Tea (your song, not the beverage). OK I like Green tea the beverage but I really love that song of yours! I plan on listening more to your stuff after FAWM ends. (Running to play a show now)
@chandra83 Feb 29

It's lovely. Thank you! 😀
@chandra83 Feb 27

Hey, Klaus! You are welcome to demo "True." 😀
@audrey Feb 26

Thank you for your kind words about my song Tailing the Suspect. I appreciate them.
@arthurrossi Feb 24

Dear Klaus! Thank you very, very much for giving me the honour and putting "I will never find" to music in such a brilliant way! I love the melody, very catchy chorus and your piano is simply enchanting. I am so happy how the song turned out. Awesome vocal delivery as well, with a lot of emotion… Thanks so much for this wonderful song!
@leah0k Feb 23

Glad you liked my mysterious song! Ha! I like leaving lots of room for different interpretations...
@emartin888 Feb 23

Kind of you, Klaus, thanks.
@billwhite51 Feb 23

thank you for your comment on the enemy within. you understood it as intended... an application of jungian theory to current politics.
@sunnymae Feb 23

It was so cool both of us writing music for the same lyrics. I love the perspective that we each had and this is what I love so much about songwriting. To see all the different creative minds at work!
Keepin' rockin' the planet being You!!
@jeustan Feb 22

Thank you for listening, Klaus! You've regularly raised me spirits this month with your wit and beautiful songwriting. I love your style.

Have a great day!
@rayboneor Feb 22

Thanks! When you say "certain" people, you're talking about megalomaniacs, right? It's funny you should bring the subject up, because Nicolas Cage and I are working on a song right now that addresses this matter:

I’m giving off an Al Stewart vibe
She said
I’ve never felt so alive

I’m Nicolas Cage
So imagine my surprise
When she said I was giving off an Al Stewart vibe

Like old Jerry Lee
I love saying my name
But he’s never known the delight
Of giving off an Al Stewart vibe
@gwyn1234 Feb 22

Cheers for your response to I Got The Hots! Much appreciated and you hit the nail right on the head!
@lvgd09 Feb 21

Hi Klaus, been busy this week but I'm looking forward to all of the new songs. See you soon.
@sbs2018 Feb 21

Thank you for your heartfelt comment on "Somebody Threw Their Life Away." I didn't think I could make it into a song. Now that time has passed, I'm ready to upload a song based on that poem but done in my EDM style with a different title ("Tonight I Won't Be Sleeping").
@scubed Feb 21

Thanks so much for your generous comment on my silly little ukulele song! I’m glad it put you in a good mood. 😊
@cindyrella Feb 21

Thanks Klaus!
@mikeb Feb 19

Thanks for the listen and comment on my song!

Hi Klaus the demo for girl with the voice is up
@arthurrossi Feb 10

Once again, thank you very, very much!
@arthurrossi Feb 10

Thanks so much for all your kind and that supportive words, Klaus! In fact, just today I have become father of a small cute boy… 😀
@ferry0123 Feb 10

Hey there Klaus, that's a nice and kind thing to say. Thanks! I'll be back listening to more of your stuff. What I've heard is your acoustic guitar gets you songs pretty fast!
@alboe Feb 10

Hey Klaus,
I’ve been listening to all your skirmish songs but I haven’t got the time nor the energy to comment on all of them separately so forgive me for taking the easy way out.
I’d just like to say that your songs and your delivery have such a high entertaining quality that it’s always a genuine pleasure to listen to them.
They contain lots of tongue in cheek humor but very often there’s also a more serious second layer that goes much deeper and I enjoy that very much. You had me really laughing hard with the sudden twist in Time of the day/Stop talking, I needed that so thank you very much.
@treble Feb 8

Thanks so much for your comments on Have a Great Day. Congrats on having completed ten songs already!
@atitlan Feb 8

I think expecting me to come up with a title that wasn't the skirmish prompt would really be asking a lot 😀
@metalfootlings Feb 4

The footlings' picture is a couple years old... I (metalfoot) really need to update it for them! Thanks for listening to F2's The Feeling!
@rshakesp Feb 3

Thanks for saying hello Klaus - I appreciate it!
@louiskoba Feb 2

Hey Klaus, thanks for the motivation. I posted the lyrics to Vegan Evangelist/The Nonprofit Industry, one take demo on its way, hopefully tomorrow. Feel free to use lyrics if you want
@kristi Feb 2

Hey Klaus! I'd be delighted for you to demo "Trip of a Lifetime"...I worked on the meter for that, so we'll see if it passes muster!! lol
@sunnymae Feb 2

Hey Klaus!
I love the idea of a few people writing music to the same lyrics. So go for it! I'm a polyamorous songwriter. 😎🎼😎
@oneslowtyper Feb 2

Hi Klaus, you know you're always more than welcome to anything I post. We make a great team!
@crisp1 Feb 2

Hey, buddy, I sent you an email. Cheers!
@arthurrossi Feb 1

@spirulence Feb 1

Klaus, it's great to see you here. Looking forward to your clever machinations this year!
@jeustan Feb 1

Terve! Thank you for the welcome and good advice. I am looking forward to this.

Great looking dead animal, btw. Something like that would be worn in heavy rotation here in Michigan.
@chandra83 Jan 31

Allo! 😀
@postcardhelicopters Jan 31

Thanks, Klaus!

I promise to bring crullers to the next meeting!

Have a fantastic FAWM!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my Soundboard with your welcome. I'm excited to hear what you come up with this year, and am looking forward to your acoustic demos (and whatever else you do)!
@petemurphy Jan 30

Hiya Klaus! Thanks! All the very best to you, and I hope you're well.
@darcistrutt Jan 30

Hello to you from our own Great White North in Wisconsin! Hope you enjoy a great February!
@bandybum Jan 30

"Don't Get Me Wrong" - great fun track, makes me smile. Reminds me of a quirky Andy Partridge song.
Looking forward to hearing more 😀
@bandybum Jan 30

You made my day!

Being likened to XTC circa English Settlement album? Fabulous. Thank you so much✨

Love your bio humour.
Perhaps we could collaborate?

Wishing you a fab February
@ryanbonner Jan 30

Thanks for the note! Much respect to the not so much social media thing--I'm likewise. I can't imagine 50 songs in 90 days; very cool. I shall watch this space... 😀
@odilongreen Jan 30

Thanks, and have a good one yourself. No -- a great one! Let's have *great* FAWMs! 😀
@pbtaylorjr Jan 29

Thanks for your kind words friend. It means a lot to me.
@quork Jan 29

Hello, Klaus, hope you have an amazing FAWM.
@jeyemusik Jan 28

Thanks for the reassurance that my tendency for the ridiculous won't go too far wrong here!!!

@jwhanberry Jan 26

Hello Klause. Happy FAWM2020. Thanks for listening to my tunes. Glad you liked them. I guess you could say that I'm genre nonconforming. 😉
@cynthiawolff Jan 24

Hey Krause see you in the trenches...
Have a wonderful FAWM
@barbara Jan 24

Hi Klaus! I’m really loving your new look for 2020! Can’t wait to see what surprises come forth from you this year...😊
@billwhite51 Jan 23

Klaus, it is unbreathably hot in Lima right now. What is the weather like in finland?
@rayboneor Jan 23

You bestride this narrow world like a colossus, Klaus. Let's do this!!
@cindyrella Jan 23

Hi Klaus! I hope we can work together!
@oneslowtyper Jan 23

Hi Klaus, always good to see you! I'm still listening to all of our songs, as they are in rotation on my music player, and I'm sure we'll be adding to our collection. Here's to your continued good health and happiness.
Cheers,
John
@wobbiewobbit Jan 23

Hi! Good to see you. Thanks for your notes oon my sound board. Yes, I'm in for a new Fawm too!
@coolparadiso Jan 23

Onya Cobber, have a fair dinkum go at Fawm.
@francessmith Jan 22

Hello Klaus, looking forward to hearing your songs in February. I see you had a successful 50/90. I failed miserably on that, but hoping to get some songs written for Fawm.
@nancyrost Jan 22

Always good to see you back here!
@kanttila Jan 22

Mitä? Oh, jojojojojo...hey man I always like to see what you do also. Thanks for always listening to my stuff! It's my ideal to get better every album, that's the spirit that drives me.
@crisp1 Jan 22

Glad you're here, Klaus. I really enjoyed our 50/90 collaborations. Let's see what happens this time! Have a wonderful FAWM!
@tcelliott Jan 21

Good to see you around these parts again. Let's have another great Fawm.
@gemhughs Jan 21

Hey Klaus Good to hear from you. Congratulations to you for completing the 50/90 challenge. I secretly watched your progress and listened to some of your songs, wondering if you were going to make in time 😀. I'll bet you won't have a problem with FAWM this year. You may even easily knock more than 14 songs!
@bitshred Jan 20

Have a great FAWM Klaus!
@kahlo2013 Jan 18

Love that hat! I am glad that you are keeping your mind warm and ready for all of the creative FAWMing you will do!
@jamkar Jan 18

Hiya Klaus! Warming up for FAWM?
@atitlan Jan 18

Hi Klaus - Just saw your name pop up on the forums. Good to see you back for another FAWM. Looking forward to hearing this year's songs.
@downburst Jan 17

Hi Klaus--it's good to see you still here. Wish me luck this year (as I do you).
@rickamorphis Jan 17

@johnstaples Jan 16

Hey Klaus! Happy FAWM 2020!

So good to see you again, too! Can’t wait to get started!
@writeandwrong Jan 16

Dear, dear, Klaus! I am so happy to see you'll be here again this year! Always love your tunes!! 😀
@oddbod Jan 16

ah but you need bad music so you know when you're listening to the good stuff
you're looking colourful this year
@hummingbear Jan 16

Looking forward to your tunes!
@coolparadiso Jan 15

see ya around!
@tsunamidaily Jan 14

have the best FAWM this year!
@fuzzy Jan 14

Klaus!!!!!
I hope you have a great FAWM!!!
@lvgd09 Jan 13

Thanks, Klaus, I got most of my songs mixed up on the records from Bandcamp. In other words, they play in the wrong order. I just found out you can change the song order on Bandcamp, and did so. A good lesson about digital release with the track numbers. I'm finally fully convinced that the best 5 songs need to play first on any album. Since I don't really know which are the best at the time I may consider how many comments the song has when organizing my CD. Thanks, Klaus and see you soon.
@metalfoot Jan 13

Hey Klaus! Here's to FAWM 2020 and more amazing music!
