He/Him

Writing an Email to Myself.

That's what I'm going with this year. That's the theme. Stream-of-consciousness. Raw. Lofi. Maybe 10 or so songs. Maybe try to flesh them out by the end of the month as well. Who knows? We'll see. I'm just gonna try some stuff and see what comes out.

Thanks for listening and good luck this year everyone!

Feb 8, 2022 Edit:

So I finished all the initial demos for the album I wanna do this month. 10 songs. Called Writing an Email to Myself.

I'm going to release the demos to Bandcamp soon. And Streaming relatively soon.

And I'm spending the rest of the month "finishing" the songs and hope to have those posted to FAWM as well for an additional 10 (cheating I know!).

I don't want to take away from that lofi feel the demos have too much for the finished versions. So I want to be pretty minimal in my embellishments and full-bandedness. This'll also get a proper album release pretty quickly and be on Bandcamp/Streaming. Maybe some merch like T-shirts (*cough* *cough* maybe a pretty significant line from the song "Your new Tshirt" perhaps?) or something to round it out.

I'm excited about this batch of songs. And it's less intense than the other 3 albums I'm working on at the moment, haha. Take care y'all!

2/28/22 EDIT:

Hey y'all. So the whole house ended up with the flu all last week. It slowed me down a bit. I managed to get everything recorded and mostly arranged for the full production of all the songs for "Writing an Email to Myself" but I have only gotten 4 of them mixed in time to show on FAWM. I'm getting those up today with some quick 'n dirty masters done by yours truly. I'll send the whole thing off to my Mastering guy in NY (shout out Jesse Cannon of Found Soundation Studios in Brooklyn) once I finish everything and get it all released on Bandcamp/Streaming soon.

And I do still plan on releasing the demos online as well. That should also happen soon. It's been a fun FAWM this year. Congrats everyone! We made it! See you in the forums and song comments in March and I already can't wait for next year!

    Hey thanks for your comments on my songs!

  • @atam94  Feb 2022

    Thanks for listening to my recent soundscape and for leaving an awesome comment! The last few days have been a bit busy but I'm going to try to catch up on lots of music here soon.

  • @jacobeverettwallace  Feb 2022

    Thanks for the comment on Are You Scared? I felt the same about the kick so I updated the mix a bit. I'd probably need to start from scratch to really get it sounding awesome but this will have to do for now.

  • @ampersandman  Feb 2022

    Oh man, thank you so much for your comments. I was offline all day and just saw them. Really, thank you. I hit a FAWM slump the last days, but reading how you (the guy who wrote The Journal and Who Will Make It Out Alive) felt about See-through is a huge uplift to my inspiration.

  • @seanbrennan  Feb 2022

    Thank you for your kind words on my song, "Magic." Always get warm fuzzies when someone takes the time to point out specific elements they notice (for good and for bad!).

  • @skylermf  Feb 2022

    Good to see you again too!!

  • @jacobeverettwallace  Feb 2022

    Happy FAWM dude!

  • @nicetrip  Jan 2022

  • @atam94  Jan 2022

    So glad to see you're coming back this year!! I'm really pumped for another FAWM

  • @outinpublicdrummer  Jan 2022

    Good luck this year!

  • @yam655  Jan 2022

    I hope you have a great FAWM!

    You need to update your profile for 2022! :)
