I often do this… anticipate FAWM for many months, then finally get to Feb 1st and after an extended Summer holiday (here in Australia) I have a pile of work to catch up on and feel like I’m not going to get much time for FAWMing
Plus there’s that two year old who seems to require frequent attention from @susyblue and myself, so there will be some balancing required. Thankfully I work for myself, so I’ll just tell my boss to shove it and give me a break. Or quit.
Regardless, I’ll do my darndest to make some FAWM hatchlings happen and I can’t wait to massage my ear drums and brain synapses with all of your wonderful music.
A few new pieces of gear I’m excited to experiment with this year:
- OP-Z sequencer
- Danelectro Baritone Guitar
- Baritone Nylon String
- Ampex Reel to Reel Tape Machine

Hey dude, yup had a small 10 year break :)
Great to see you're still FAWMing, are you still playing live music?
I've spent the last 10 years sitting in front of a computer not playing music, but hoping to change that for the next ten years. -

Thanks for getting back to me about the guitar - might have to expand my armoury! You got a super lush sound from it, bravo!

@radiobenedetto Feb 2022
Thanks for the comments on The Boy Remains. Quick note on Amon Tobin, he has a ton of stuff and a lot of it is experimental and frankly hard to listen to. But everyone now and then he reins it in and it sounds unlike anyone else. Have a listen the album Supermodified. Cheers.

Half baked? Damnnnnn, but I’m not a five starred Michelin chef like Ad! Think of me more as a sous chef, but still learning my trade :p I was just gonna sprinkle some herbs on top of YOUR masterpiece! Haha ok, enough with that analogy, Yas, send me anything dude and I’ll try not to stare blankly at it :D
