Hey, thanks. It was my pleasure to listen. I'm defo up for a collab next time. Let's do it
@tcelliott 4 weeks

You did answer your own question. Some of the reviewers find instrumentals to be a negative with the reasoning that no-one can know if it was really made to the prompt. That being said, I think it might be worth trying out to see what kind of response you get. It's a different beast and it might not be your cup of tea, but the community, small though it is, can be pretty cool when the chips are down.

Thanks for the nice comments on my songs! I see you surpassed the finish line this year so great work on that. Definitely need to check out some of your stuff now. 😁
@cts 4 weeks

Hey man - not sure if you're on the boards anymore, but are you near the DC area? Reason I'm asking is that Little Dragon, yes LITTLE DRAGON is going to be at the 930 club next month. I really want to see them. I was wondering if you'd be interested in checking them out.

Wow, thank you so very much for the listen and comment on Ghost! I really appreciate it!

@thealphabettisystem 5 weeks

Thanks for the comment on Measured Image. It is much appreciated.

Korg Gadget is good even though I have only scratched the surface. If you want to try it out there is a free limited LE version, or there used to be. I tried before I buyed

RE: "Should I be afraid that this is NOT incoherent for me?" on "cow brell":
probably not! i think it's a fun journey, but my inner artist is always going to be like "it could b more" lol
but yeah, thanks!

@ustaknow 5 weeks

So, I read somewhere you don't like the one voice one guitar thing... wow, you're brake-ing my heart man! 😀 hahhh!

Anyway, -- can't listen to all your, anyones stuff, -- I know they're all brilliant, at this point; you don't need another "sounds good like it" from me.

And, this being the end here more or less, CU@5090 I guess!

Keep synth funking along!

Thank you so much for your very generous comment on “Waiting for the Supernova”!

Thanks for your kind comments on Procrastination Station! I really appreciated them!!
@pokerowan 6 weeks

Thanks for your comment on 'I'm Sure Of This'! 'Ent' is regional phonetic spelling of the way my dialect says 'ain't' hahaha 😉
@musicsongwriter 6 weeks

Thank you also for your kind comment on my cold piece 😀
@musicsongwriter 6 weeks

Thank you for your comment and support on I'll be the one. It was wonderful to collaborate with Amanda. A little correction: Amanda created lyrics. I only composed music 😀
@judypie 6 weeks

Woah, have an eyewilleatu badge! I know ur comment wasn’t actually on an eyewilleatu song but it’s all i have to give out as a prize! Dirty projectors made pretty much my fave album of all time (dirty projectors) so for them to flash into your mind for eeeeven a second makes me V happy 😁
@ustaknow 6 weeks

Interesting, "sonic hedge hog", -- I looked up a/the preview. Hansom fellow, we look a little alike, well, I'm a little blue sometimes, anyway 😉 ... (what's your super power? 😀 )
@fjorescent 6 weeks

Oh! This makes a lot more sense, thanks for the tip haha. While I'm here, I'm gonna check out some more of your stuff! 😁
@bandybum 6 weeks

Also, which synths are using?
@bandybum 6 weeks

Fantastic. Yes please email me whatever you've got so far 😀
@bandybum 6 weeks

Yep, sounds good 😀
Also found the midi files for this track conveniently ready-made...
https://www.midiworld.com/files/410/
@mlm 6 weeks

Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback on my track!
@bandybum 6 weeks

Great that you're already familiar with Take on me
Found this which is enormously helpful for the chords and midi patterns 😀
https://www.hooktheory.com/theorytab/...
How about you try reproducing the sounds of that track and I'll do the same for the other? Or vice versa if you prefer working on an unfamiliar song.
I'm happy to work on our song arrangement and lyric etc.
Never done this before, exciting! 😁
@bandybum 6 weeks

If it doesn't feel like your thing or just feels like too much pressure please feel free to say so. It's only for fun after all 🌞
@bandybum 6 weeks

Great! Glad it appeals to you.
As you say I'm very happy to undertake the role of lyricist and singer.
My plan is to analyse and mimic sound and song structure of two songs initially, A-ha's two biggest hits Take on me & the sun always shines on TV.
If you can help cherry-pick and emulate some of their elements that would be fantastic ✨
@sunnymae 7 weeks

Hey Splitty! I'm so glad you enjoyed Constant Craving.
I pretty much laughed all the way through writing it and I've been cracking up listening to all the Skirmish food songs tonight. Great job everyone!!
@bandybum 7 weeks

Okay here's a challenge for you 😀
How about we create an 80s track by throwing elements from classics into a melting pot and mix to taste?
A pinch of Aha, a snippet of Frankie goes to Hollywood, etc.
@cts 7 weeks

He and I go through this every year. We sit down and map out ideas. We have this long drawn out discussion about how he needs to be participating in FAWM. I'll do a few tracks with him so that there's some familiarity with his presence. He's amped up and then he kinda bails. Oddly enough we've started some great stuff, but he either doesn't have the interest or he's into his lady friend and producing her stuff. It's all good. I'll probably work on the one track we're close to finishing.
@cts 7 weeks

Congrats on the win, my dude! I'm just about finished with my Collab commitments. Working on a few right now. Feel free to send over what you would like for me to work on and I'll get it done!
@bandybum 7 weeks

Really like your work. Maybe, at some point, a collab may be fun ?
@kable 7 weeks

Man your comments always make my day. Thanks so very much. 😀
@coolparadiso 7 weeks

it wouldn't help if I told you unless you speak Khmer. fortunately I do. the best one will be up maybe tomorrow.
@unkept 7 weeks

Feel free! Let me know if you need a file!

It was my pressing the record button I think. This Zoom microphone is set to pre-record five seconds, so it captured the button press haha
@sbs2018 7 weeks

Thanks so much for your comments on “Dancing to a Different Drummer.” These days my ears mostly do the dancing.
@thealphabettisystem 7 weeks

Thanks for the comment on Let Me Know, much appreciated.
@kahlo2013 7 weeks

Thanks for your comment! I am truly hoping Nick will put it to music!
@ustaknow 7 weeks

Thanks for saying so. I guess also, I am very fortunate you like that kind of music too! hahhh 😀

Do you know who the australian shed man is this year? (You're familiar with that and Nick Cage 😉 showing up, hahhh! yeah, right!) So, I saw folks doing "collabs" with him like the Shed thing last year, and well, that's my kind of humour too! So I added him to the 12 Bar Blues thing.

You should do one and mark him as collaborator 😀 see what happens. But poke the profile, -- gotta do your part 😉 hahhh!

I asked him for a selfie with FAWM2020 in front of his arm tats for "proof", -- none yet 😀
@aesthetic72 7 weeks

Thanks so much for your comment on Ain't Gonna. It was very kind of you! *blush*
@davidtaro 7 weeks

Thanks for the comments on Raincoat. When you put it that way, old school sitcom theme tunes were pretty catchy and I shall now readily embrace this! Really loving your stuff too 👍
@engebretsen 8 weeks

OK. Thx for those kind words on "Weirdo". I change the text a little. You`re words was a really uplifting thing, because I do struggle these days. But that`s the way it should be! Thx again.
@theresaj 8 weeks

Thank you for your very kind comments. You are really encouraging!
@barbara 8 weeks

I really didn’t hear any of those notes as mistakes myself, just an evolving free form discovery that you seemed to keep salvaging with minor course corrections. I enjoyed the ride. I even liked the banging, lol! I know that frustration too. Banging is the next right move sometimes. Just wanted you to know I was loving your style.
🙂
@quork Feb 6

Hey man, heard you on the radio. Very cool.
@barbara Feb 4

I have a warm belly full of comment love now. Thank you very much for sharing your impressions and the memory that rises up to meet my music. I loved that!
@atam94 Feb 4

hey, thanks so much for checking out my second song! I truly appreciate your detailed comments.
And regarding the vocal synth... I have heard of AlterEgo before. That's cool! I purchased some vocaloids a few years back, which is why I was curious.
@seemanski Feb 3

The machinarium soundtrack is one of my favourite albums. The game is great and the soundtrack puts it in a league of its own.
@plog Feb 3

Enjoyed your thoughtful comment! Thanks!
@brandondale72 Feb 3

Yo, thanks for the incredibly kind words on my song "Life's a Mess". Really appreciate the visit. 😀
@frozenlonesome Feb 3

Thanks a lot for you considered comments on Space Patrol Super Cereal. I appreciate your kind words and am glad you enjoyed the track.
@kable Feb 3

@splittybooms really glad you enjoyed it! It's hard to make this style because of the complexity of the sequencing, but it also is very rewarding, like solving a difficult puzzle.
@engebretsen Feb 3

WOW! What an amazing review you give me on "Guilty pleasure" Thanks a lot!
@seemanski Feb 2

I basically read and tried to understand (failing miserable of course) this book https://www.amazon.com/Mixing-Secrets.... It also comes with a video series which is really interesting (also free 😉)

@cts Feb 2

Thanks, man. It really has been tough, but we're all working through it. I hope to get it together before the weekend's over.
@evinwolverton Feb 2

♥︎ I believe in you ♥︎
@aesthetic72 Feb 1

Thanks so much for your comment on Dreamcycle. Looking forward to hearing your work, too, this year!
@seemanski Feb 1

Thank you so much for your feedback. It was constructive and very useful. I really appreciate how you took the time to compare and break it down to my chosen mix reference. I'm new to this mix referencing and not quite sure what to look out for, I just kind did a brief side by side to see if it was anyway near the ball park. I wasn't sure I picked the right track, but I guess you have to keep trying and as time goes on you start to recognise what to look out for.

Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks again, that was just the kind of constructive criticism I was after 😀
@unpronounceable Feb 1

<3 Your comments tho! Nice to meet you.
@vrnsmth Feb 1

Also! The original lyrics included a sound out of doc saying “MARTY!” But didn’t out of dmca danger haha
@vrnsmth Feb 1

Thanks for checking out “Time Alone”

I appreciate the comments greatly!!
@kahlo2013 Feb 1

Hi hi! I would love a hook up! It has become a tradition that I love! Love your style!
@tjfafterdark Feb 1

What it do, my dude. I remember you from this summer.
@pearlmanhattan Feb 1

Hey there!! Yeah, me, aaron, YLM, ohgosh, curtiss king and a few other very talented professionals making sound packs...happy FAWM!!
@saumera Jan 30

Nah man, not at all! I'm all for it
@quork Jan 28

Hey, hope you have a great FAWM 2020!
@ustaknow Jan 19

You too!, all the best this year 😀
@sailingmagpie Jan 17

Looking forward to hearing more of your stuff this year. Still the best profile pic on the site!
@cts Jan 15

In my notes I've got a reminder to try a Little Dragon inspired tune. No clue as to what that would sound like,but I just want to make sure I don't forget to do it!
@cts Jan 15

Alright, partner - get ready for another round of sonic goodness!
@coolparadiso Jan 15

i gonna get a few electros out there! hope to see you around!
