Artist Bio
Influences: Sci-fi, horror, fantasy, fiction, tragedy, rejection, heartache
Back for year NINE! (How?!) My most successful, yet most miserable FAWM so far.
Tracks #6-12 , (possibly)16, 18, and 19 this year are my attempt at a rough, solo, scifi concept album.
Big thanks to those who were open to collabs this year. You saved me.
--------------------------------------------------------
My ninth FAWM experience, yet again, is an online collaboration with @mdavisto. We met on reddit many years ago and have done a few things since, including three full length albums and a fourth on the way, all written during FAWM. Working around our busy schedules and the time zone difference between the states and South Africa has been quite the challenge over the years, but it's been incredibly rewarding and fun, and I wouldn't be the musician I am today without our experiences.

Ah, that’s so nice of you to say! Don’t think I’ll put them together in any kind of compilation although I may use a couple of them in an upcoming project 😊

@apolez3 6 weeks
Thanks for the comment on 'This must be it' I actually gave him like six or so vocal snips of my voice to add hehe 😀

So glad you enjoyed "The Candle" my collab with Michael Debenham! He did such a great job putting music to lyric. Thanks for dropping by. 😀

@tesla3090 7 weeks
Thank you for reaching out about collabing! C-beams was definitely my favorite track to work on this year, and it gave me enough of a boost to push through the last few days. 🙂 I'd love to work together again at some point! Also, congrats on 20!
-
@aeye 7 weeks
Also wanted to say I enjoyed the Android concept album. Lots of emotions in that. I thought it was a really neat idea!
-
@looprication 7 weeks
Yes! Right back at ya! Getting rave reviews from my non-FAWM friends also fwiw, as expected. Great working with you and yes. Any time.
-
@nuno 7 weeks
Thanks for listening to my tracks and for taking the time to leave such great feedback. Yes, that is all my own voice on Word Association, I used Vocal Synth from Izotope to make the computer voice, with a bit of processing using vocal transformer to get the pitch just right going in. I'd be happy to process some audio files for you if you want to see how it would sound on your voice.
-
@aeye 7 weeks
Thanks! Glad you like what we’ve been doing. Trying to build on our sound year over year has been exciting. We may be taking you up on that offer next fawm 😀
-
@heuristicsinc 7 weeks
I regret I didn't ask you to collab this year after your forum post. Sorry, I would have loved to do that. Maybe next year if you're open to it.
-
@piney 7 weeks
Oh my goodness, 8! Let me know how the doggies react! 😀
-
@heliosonorous 7 weeks
Only found your page here on the last day, but I enjoyed all your stuff and the sci fi themes and sounds!
-
@nuno 7 weeks
Thanks so much for de-Zonging 'Sing a different song' and for your lovely comments. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I've just listened to one your tracks and already know I'm going to love exploring everything you've done. 😁
-
@aesthetic72 7 weeks
You're so sweet. Thanks for your note on my soundboard. This year has been bonkers workwise. Love what you're doing too, all that exploration. Will give more meaningful comments as soon as I can. 😀

"Cheesecake Voice" - I think I'm stealing that as the name of this album. lol
-
@chroes Feb 22
Hello, thank you kindly for your comments on "Gravity Shifted" and "Lullaby in Crushed Bits"! I agree, dance lullabies should be a thing, right? For days when you both want to just keep sleeping and somehow dance just a tiny bit? 😁
Looking forward to listen to your music now! -
@willyviste Feb 19
Hey, thanks for the kind words, appreciate it alot. Yeah, I feel I've improved some amount from last year, just understanding concepts a little better. But I feel so noobish in the grand scheme of things, there is SO MUCH TO LEARN. Guess that's the beauty of music. We will keep exploring until time is no more. Well then, thank's again for the comments and feedback, and I hope you have a wonderful fawm on the final stretch now:)
-
@tesla3090 Feb 19
Yay! The songs are back! I thought I missed my chance to listen to the newer ones
-
@quork Feb 19
😀
-
@zecoop Feb 19
Hooray - they are back!! 😀
-
@quork Feb 18
I hope you didn't hit delete in a fit of rage. Hey, rage, milk that emotion! It's not only a great story, but great music and vocals.
-
@zecoop Feb 18
I have officially started a song that you can choose to do or not do. But I thought I would let you know I was working on it 😀
Wait... Where di the android songs go? I hadn't finished yet! Ugh! -
@quork Feb 16
Well, it all sounds amazing. The sad Android who just wants to be with her people, and the terrifying parts of her lurking just below the surface. You’re onto something great.
-
@zecoop Feb 15
I haven't forgotten about you and a song, and AM going to be doing a bunch of listening, but work has been insane. I HATE when work gets in the way of important stuff like FAWM. 😞
-
@andrewjtaylor Feb 9
Ooh. QWERTY keys? No fun. But I know some people who’ve gotten quite good at it considering the elimination. Here’s to a fun time growing into the new one!
-
@kable Feb 9
Regarding collaboration, I just sent a message to your SC.
-
@andrewjtaylor Feb 8
Hey, we use those keyboards at the school I teach at. Do you have a sustain pedal for it? It's great it has a port for a pedal. Not sure if electronic music requires a pedal. WIth piano, it's night and day.
-
@nateger Feb 7
I appreciate your kind words! I'm glad the orgasm song had a positive impact 😊 orgasms for everybody!
-
@kable Feb 6
Ah, an owner of the Nintendo Switch, very nice! What's your favorite game on it so far?
-
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 1
Hey Lauren! I always look forward to your music. Happy Fawming!

@cleansupafterburn Jan 24
dangit, how did I not comment yet? I've pledged potential fandom to mdavisto - potentially fanfic for you? teehee. FAWMcrush. Don't tell me who you really are please.
-
@darcistrutt Jan 22
Counting down the days until I can hear your fresh sounds again!
-
@kovbleu Jan 18
Welcome back for another round. I look forward to hearing what you two do this year!
-
@sailingmagpie Jan 16
Looking forward to hearing what you come up with this year!
-
@kristian Jan 16
I was watching The Good Place yesterday and there’s this bit where Kirstin goes «wait! that’s not music... that’s EDM!». Then I thought that the show writers really need to listen to Mass Love! and then I thought about beer, but that’s another story
-
@aesthetic72 Jan 16
Hi Lauren. Thanks so much for your note on my SB! Can't wait to hear your stuff this year. Inspirational.
