    Thank you for the supportive comments. I appreciate it! Drums are GarageBand samples.

  • @lyricslinger  Mar 2022

    Hi, thanks for your comments on my post about clean rap songs. Yeah, if you could send me a link that would be fab.

  • @cts  Mar 2022

    I gather you didn't get my email maybe a week back? I was actually working on that idea you sent me. No worries. Summer's coming. 50/90 will be here before you know it.

  • @sorby69  Mar 2022

    Thanks @fonte for the nice words about my song "I see you". Can't tell you how pleased I was my friend Kev could add some tasty bass to it.
    Hope you had a good FAWM. Congrats on your "win". I only managed 10 in this, my first, FAWM. Not at all disappointed as I had so much fun.

  • @timfatchen  Mar 2022

    re Pink Floyd, I fear we're running out of appropriate lines.! Fun , though!

  • @adforperu  Mar 2022

    Ahh you are too kind! Thank you for your words and comments. Next year, yeah why not.. I mean, that's a *long* way away, but by the same token it'll be here in no time...

  • @mk2021 Mar 2022

    Thanks for your kind comments on my song. Looking forward to next year's FAWM already.

  • @nuchoyce  Mar 2022

    What a great FAWM this year! We made it!

  • @tukayandryan  Mar 2022

    Congrats on reaching the finishing line! Looking forward to listening to more of your songs this month!

  • @actualjulian  Feb 2022

    Always good to hear from you fonte! Congrats on finishing. May the FAWM be with you ALWAYS

  • @wrenarcher  Feb 2022

    Thanks for taking the time to listen to my "Eclipse" song.
    Yeah... that was kinda tough to do. Thank you for the kind words.
    I appreciate it.

  • @grayland  Feb 2022

    Thanks so much for listening to "You Can't Miss (What You Never Had" and for your most kind and encouraging comments. And yes, I would be very very flattered to do a collab with you next FAWM. I'll be watching for ya then!!

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    Thanks for posting mate! You’ve been a busy boy! I’m knackered and off to bed, but going to set some time aside tomorrow to catch up as I seem to have missed a couple of yours. Cheers!

    Who did what on which track
    :)

  • @beatsbycamel Feb 2022

    Hi Fonte thanks again for the comment and the claps are just short 909 claps with a little bit of reverb :D

  • @zecoop  Feb 2022

    I am home for 2-3 more hours and then would not be able to post until later this afternoon. Either way works. Can't wait to hear it!

  • @zecoop  Feb 2022

    No worries!! FAWM makes this complicated. You are right. I'll post it, then you create a new song to point to the one on fourtracktape (and make it a collab with one of the other three participants). I put an example down below.

    https://fawm.org/songs/134684/

  • @zecoop  Feb 2022

    You can either send it over to zecoop at yahoo dot com or post it as a collab with fourtracktape. Your choice. I am right at my computer and will post as soon as it gets here, if you e-mail it over (so that's my preference). :)

  • @cblack Feb 2022

    Or you could upload it somewhere and send me the link? Doesn't need to be uploaded on FAWM right away... Just wherever you usually host things. :)

  • @leah0k Feb 2022

    Hey hello - I’ve had a rather busy week with kids off school and work and haven’t been around here lately, but collab sounds fun - send me an email with some thoughts and maybe we can do a fun little tune before Feb’s end :)

  • @bigmood Feb 2022

    Ohhhh you can sing, I wouldn't worry about that dude. But i do know what you mean. That's how I got into double tracking vocals, I was so unconfident with everything I recorded I'd double track it a million times to make sure the idea came through. Recording is brutal man :/

  • @squeakmouse73 Feb 2022

    Well, I'm finally done with that project, which I loved, but it was taking most of my bandwidth. Now, I can concentrate more on fawming!!! So, yes, I hope I can get some stuff recorded, even if just basic. I did write some poetry based on a skirmish found here, but I don't know if that counts as a FAWM song. :) Still haven't forgotten ya. Keeping your offer in mind.

  • @hbusse  Feb 2022

    Thank you so much for the generous encouragement about my voice! Honestly, I have been surrounded by a lot of incredible vocalists over the years who can do crazy amazing / beautiful things with their voices, and have often felt like my voice is just OK compared to theirs... but encouragement like yours keeps me remembering that my voice has a place and can make a difference too. Thank you truly.

  • @lenigmusx1  Feb 2022

    Thank you for the kind words on “No King’s Koolaid”. I am going to listen to a couple of your tunes right now

  • @greengrassgirl  Feb 2022

    Fonte! I saw your comments on The Love We Never Had and I posted this response ON MY OWN PAGE, not yours! Sorry! Rookie mistake! I wasn't ignoring you.
    @greengrassgirl 2 weeks
    Thanks, @fonte I've put you on my Watch List. Looking forward to hearing your music.

  • @lanasolyluna Feb 2022

    Thank you! That was some effects on Voice Live Touch called Elvis Radio then played around with the parameters a little. Voice Live Touch has so many great vocal fx.

  • @tuesdaygray Feb 2022

    Thanks again for your nice comment!

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    Aw, thanks for the 80s comment man - Paul Young indeed! That guitar… wish I had the rig to make that tone, but sadly it’s just a Logic preset called ‘Big Hair Harmonics’ (or something like that anyway).

  • @povosos  Feb 2022

    Thanks for the kind comment :)

  • @hbusse  Feb 2022

    Wow, thank you so much for the very kind comments on Clear Eyes! I am so glad you like it. I have a lot to learn about production, but glad to know that one sounded good to you… my technique right now is basically turning knobs and hitting buttons til it sounds good to me! :)

  • @eargoggle  Feb 2022

    Hey dude! Yeah, that sounds great! I'd love to play some upright for you...hit me up- [email protected]

  • @tuesdaygray Feb 2022

    Thanks so much for your kind words!

  • @cblack Feb 2022

    Erosion sounds like a fun collab! And I'd say just do with it what feels right to you. I love seeing different interpretations. :)

  • @majordanby  Feb 2022

    Apologies, I was cooking and not wearing my glasses. I’m amazed I managed to spell anything.

    They don’t make them like they used to.

  • @majordanby  Feb 2022

    There’s a Shackleton plaque in Eastbourne. Sunshine Coast fact. I used to live on the same road. Long after Shackleton obliviously.

  • @seppo Feb 2022

    Thanks for your kind comment.
    And yes, I got a little rhcp moment there too and the name was originally Green Mild Jalapeños but I changed it so I wouldn't be too obvious :)

  • @cblack Feb 2022

    Do you have a particular topic or theme in mind? I can write lyrics about pretty much anything.

  • @cblack Feb 2022

    Hey, we've been paired for the random collab!

  • @mikeb  Feb 2022

    Thanks for the listen and comment on 'The Perfect Take'.

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    Addictive… damn, I just bought Superior Drummer. Does that mean we’re now deadly rivals?! Your drums sound better than mine, anyway, to my ears :)

  • @kajati  Feb 2022

    Thanks man, I enjoyed that bass line and it all just happened so magically

  • @serene123  Feb 2022

    Thank you .. I'm so glad you said the song was really funny as you're the first person to say that and that's what I was aiming for!!

  • @cts  Feb 2022

    Hey! Sorry for the late response. Send me what ya got.

  • @maesparrow Feb 2022

    Hey!!!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment on Lirope, would love to do a collab with you if you're still up for it!!! :)

  • @bigmood Feb 2022

    super cool!! send it to my email, kaeli earle @ gmail . com (without spaces lmao.) I'm excited to hear what you did :)

  • @halfwayhome  Feb 2022

    Wires mate. For that gritty wobbly sound.

  • @sunnymae  Feb 2022

    Thank you @fonte for your lovely comments on Love thru a broken Heart, my collab with @davidtaro He built out the arrangement brilliantly and took this simply penned song to a glorious burst of sound and celebration.

  • @thesoundof Feb 2022

    If I was Liam Neeson playing the parts he plays, I would be paranoid too. For a valid reason! :D I will certainly try the harmonies when I invent a melody. Let's hope I manage to compose something.

  • @eas3637  Feb 2022

    Thanks for your kind comments on "Ghost of a Thorn" - I look forward to listening to your music!

  • @mariekevinkmusic  Feb 2022

    Thanks for your kind comment on I Put It Down. I really should go and finish it. But in true ADHD-style: That song is SOOOOOO last week.

  • @halfwayhome  Feb 2022

    Yep - you heard right, Frozen Strings.
    I'm sure it's not the last time you'll them either....

  • @jessespillane  Feb 2022

    Herbie Hancock's Chameleon is a great gateway piece for people getting into funk/jazz. It certainly was for me. I absolutely fell in love with style and sounds in those albums. Those Headhunter albums also blew my mind.

  • @jessespillane  Feb 2022

    "jazz accident alert" would be a great band name :) Thanks for the comment.

  • @dvdshnsmth Feb 2022

    Thanks for listening!

  • @jessespillane  Feb 2022

    thanks for the nice comment :)

  • @grayland  Feb 2022

    Hey, I wanted to stop by and say thanks for listening to The Gunfighter and the great comments. I appreciate it so much!!!

  • @wearedinosaurs  Feb 2022

    Hey thanks for your comment. Maybe you're right and I can build on EK001 as an instrumental instead of stressing about vocals. Thanks!

  • @shallowcarrot Feb 2022

    Thanks for your comment on our song "Who's Got the Poison?" We appreciate it :)

  • @tuesdaygray Feb 2022

    Thank you so much for your kind comment!

  • @kingwoodkowboy  Feb 2022

    Thanks fonte, for reviewing El Rancho Grande.

  • @elesimo  Feb 2022

    Thanks for your comment on my song "Tio". On that song all the sounds are generated by the OP-Z, but I'm using the Hologram Microcosm to apply effects — that's where the lushness comes from! The Microcosm has been described as "the pedal that makes everything sound pretty".

    That being said, the OP-Z is a super versatile machine... I like using it to write complete songs. Because it's so portable I take it with me everywhere, and I've written whole albums while traveling!

  • @cts  Feb 2022

    Yup! Putting it in my notebook as a reminder. THAT'S gonna happen.

  • @nadine Feb 2022

    Thanks for your comment on my fake band impersonation. This name inspired me to do some weird stuff. No idea if this genre already exists but I found a video of someone crossing Volksmusik with hardcore punk.

  • @ianuarius Feb 2022

    Hah, yea, I get what you mean about the Black Sabbath riff. Original idea was something like Dazed and Confused. I guess it came out sounding more like Sabbath boys.

  • @squeakmouse73 Feb 2022

    Always good to hear you, friend. Working on a project with a deadline, so my writing has been hurried, but I do still want to put out some full productions, too. Colabbing would be fun, too. !

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    Thanks dude. It sounds live because it’s all one takes and I didn’t have time to set mics up properly! Sadly it’s distracted me from working on our song though - my apologies :(

  • @halfwayhome  Feb 2022

    That was indeed the Prophet V all over that track....
    And yeah, that 'Fire' was a reach - just trying to put out my mind the thought that the neighbours popped in the garden during one of the takes where I didn't quite hit the note!

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    I make no apologies for writing stupid bits of falsetto nonsense that get stuck in peoples' heads. Let's start with modest ambitions then - I'll have a think about possible song ideas. My email's: [email protected] - can you drop me a line so I've got yours? And then if we can get in the same space late Feb all the better, but could equally be a non-FAWM thing!

  • @davidtaro  Feb 2022

    Haha, we do indeed! I think there are two options, 1) do you have any little voice notes with random riffs etc that I could play with, or 2) do you want to try and meet up and jam and see if anything magical happens? Timing might be tricky on the latter but drop me an email if you fancy it :) (late now, time for bed….)

  • @dancrook Feb 2022

    Yes bro. Let’s do it.
    What’s your email and what daw you use?

  • @arkka  Feb 2022

    Thanks for the comment!

  • @nahlej381  Feb 2022

    I love Zappa so I’ll take that compliment thanks for listening!

  • @tukayandryan  Feb 2022

    Thank you for such kind words! If you follow us on insta I think we might be playing near your neck of the woods too

  • @quru Feb 2022

    Thanks for your comment on Kevään ensimmäinen valonsäde, really appreciate it.

  • @evinwolverton Feb 2022

    Howdy! I'm here! Looking forward to hearing you.

  • @nuchoyce  Feb 2022

    It’s crazy that my song popped up once you logged in . Thanks for the feedback man and yes. Let’s get a Colab going! !

  • @andyt13 Feb 2022

    Bring it y'all! :-) Thanks for the kind words!

  • @stephentanner  Feb 2022

    Thanks ever so much for your comments on 'She'll Know Me'. So pleased you're liking the songs. I just hope they can keep coming. If you give me a follow on Facebook/Insta, I can keep you posted on gig dates. I see you're in London. I am planning to get down to London more this year so we can hopefully hook up at some stage.

  • @stephentanner  Feb 2022

    Thanks for the comments. Look forward to hearing your stuff this year. :)

  • @thelowestbitter Jan 2022

    Have a good FAWM, looking forward to hearing what you come up with

  • @boyatheart Jan 2022

    Hey thanks! Have a great FAWM.
    I'll do my best and I'm looking forward to hearing what you put out this year too.

  • @itoarazi Jan 2022

    You bet your bollocks I'm back for more!!! My creativity was stagnant for quite a few months, but it's coming back with a vengeance!! And as always, it's lovely to see that you've returned!!

  • @adforperu  Jan 2022

    Thank you, and to you!

  • @davidtaro  Jan 2022

    Hey man! I kind of miss your old profile picture, but looking forward to hearing some slinky guitar stylings nonetheless. Ready for that collab we talked about last year? :)

  • @cts  Jan 2022

    Howdy! Good to see you back. R U ready?

  • @sailingmagpie  Jan 2022

    Glad to hear you're in. I'm raring to get going!

  • @sailingmagpie  Jan 2022

    Hope you're back for more this year!

  • @nuj4x  Jan 2022

  • @gm7  Jan 2022

    Great to see you Back here !!
