He/him

This year I celebrate a decade of FAWMing or 28% of my life, if you inexplicably prefer.

I've not had the busiest year musically. I did release an EP in September. Other than that, I've been putting the finishing touches to my second album.

I did discover how time consuming making music videos can be though:

I had fun last year writing uptempo, funky stuff but I think I'm gonna slow it down a bit this year and go for more of a noir-ish, torch song style. I've also got an idea for a song cycle percolating in the back of my brain and one for a sci-fi krautrock side project, so who knows what will come out!

I feel like I was a bit lax last year as far as commenting was concerned, so I'll be making a concerted effort on that front this time around.

Thanks for commenting on ‘Alone’, you’re very kind.
@sbs2018 Mar 3

Thanks for commenting on “Galaxy’s Edge.” Funny, by the end of FAWM, I’ve forgotten what each song is so had to take another listen to see what it was all about. Lol! Thanks, again!
@ayehahmur Mar 3

Thanks, again, for your generous comments.
Matt Maltese, aye, I came across him a couple of years ago in the run-up to one of those inner city festivals and really enjoyed his set. I'll need to catch up on what he's doing now.
@jeyemusik Feb 23

Thanks for your feedback on both my tracks. Really appreciate you taking the time to listen and to give your comments. Also, super-pleased that you enjoyed them!

She is pretty handy with a cake slice mind..
@oddbod Jan 23

Hey up
I think it depends what side of the Medway you are. According to the map (see link) you’re just east (Man of Kent) and I’m west (Kentish Man) but whatever, have a great one

I'm sure my one-track mind will also insist upon some catcore at some point! Looking forward to whatever you come up with, especially if the sci-fi krautrock comes to fruition!

@balancelost Jan 18

Awwww, how lovely. Thanks for remembering me! It will be ace to hear your music again too 😀
@adforperu Jan 17

Ah glad you're back man. Yeah, meeting Pete was pretty crazy but it would have been silly not to! Good taste 😉 I know there's not one on record, but we added masses of orchestration to the ending, it was wild.. there'll be a pro video released of it soon I think
@spikedirection Jan 16

Welcome back sir! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with 😁
