Ha ha, I've returned! What can I say? I'm a masochist and all I want to do is punish myself during February.

Set up is still the same--bare bones, but effective. Laptop, Ableton Live suite, keyboard, monitors, mic, and an electric guitar. Yeah, it sounds low-key sad, but it actually works for me. Also, new toys cost money.

Last year, I wrote a musical, "How to Form a Collective", which was about two A.I.s achieving sentience in space (and falling in love). I had such lovely reactions to it and I enjoyed making it so much. This year, I'll be making another story album/musical, a combination of science fiction and fantasy. Obviously, I'll be bending genres and making weird shit.

Get ready for "The Prophecy of the Red Star"!

EDIT Feb. 28: So, I finished it. I'm sorry for not commenting on songs (or other comments) but this musical fully consumed me. I'm so tired now and I've got so many non-FAWM matters that need attending to. I will do a chunk of listening starting at the end of March because I have some big events in March that I need to prepare for. Last year, I did a lot of my listening in March and April. I like to take my time.

Leave a message. Log in to FAWM or sign up first!

  Bring it on. I could do with getting over-invested in another of your stories and crying when it finishes.

  Hi Mel, I was late to finding your music last year but absolutely loved it - I don’t know if you ever saw my comments.
  
  Looking forward to what 2019 might bring!
