Hey dude, your post on zongs and brief comments was spot on! You carefully and logically laid out your argument. And you even acknowledged in advance the imperfections of your idea. And yet, you still get arguments against it! Sometimes this cult.. er...community drives me crazy! We are now in the "argue with everything" phase of the FAWM challenge!
-
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
I used to use soundcloud and got sick of getting noticationd and freezing my tracks! I had to keep going back and saying it was all my music and they then unfroze it! in the end i gave up Soundcloud.
-
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Nice name! Must go listen to him!
-
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Do i need to do anything about that? Never had one like that before
-
@mattoxic Feb 2022
Thanks heaps for mentioning Chemical Waste in the Fawmcast - that was a really nice thing to do. Appreciated.
-
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
Ok cool one of my collaborators emailed me and said you didn’t get it so I was scrambling lol thanks look forward to the show!
-
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
Hey! I emailed you the file for chemistry did that not work?

@timfatchen Feb 2022
Ref the Cryin' Blues piano--I'd like to take credit for the sound (as distinct from teh playin which is mine of course) but I can't: it's one of the Privia pianos but something wasn't set right on the mixer. Incidentally, there's no MIDI recording of the piano, another mistake. But it was approaching midnight and I needed just to get a recording in case I forgot overnight. The heart-wrenching vocal delivery comes because I'm trying to keep track of the words and making up the melody on the run and playing the piano! As well as watching levels.

@timfatchen Feb 2022
There's just something about the blues progressions (not just 12 bar, but also the 16 bar and other variations. They just seem to be inbuilt. I think the fusion of european and west african music was just Meant To BE.
-
@nadine Feb 2022
Do you have your artwork on Instagram or Devianart? I'm so curious!
-
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
hey! first off, i enjoyed the show the other day! second, sorry i forgot to update the soundcloud permissions. you can download it there or i emailed a copy to you on the contact info under your email link.
-
@howthenightcame Feb 2022
oh, that's great work then - you genuinely created the feel of a soundtrack.
peter thomas has some great thriller / spy / sci-fi soundtracks. you might like him. -
@cairobraga Feb 2022
I am sorry for the trouble, but I just confirmed with my mister and we'll be away for the whole weekend. no need to change your schedule because of me.
thanks for trying to fit me in, Juha dear, this Feb is being a little bit overwhelming to me.
I will, however, submit a song, that's for sure. :D -
@cairobraga Feb 2022
hi Juha!
so, the 28th is the only day I can't, I have a "hot date" with the Portuguese Immigration Authority in another region of the country so I will not be able to arrive home in time for the show on that day.
but no prob, next year I'll ask you again, hehehe.
(the Captain Jack mentioned in your influences is the one from Dr. Who?)
hyvää yötä! -
@timfatchen Feb 2022
Yeah well, I did go sailing...hm 28 and I've only listened to one? Must rectify later.
-
@timfatchen Feb 2022
Good to see we're BOTH keeping going. Though I'm not up to you yet.
-
@philhenry Feb 2022
Thanks for the spin and shootout on the podcast! You are too kind!

@dasbinky Feb 2022
Thanks for the shout-out on FAWMTalk, good sir!

@persaab Feb 2022
Kiitos kommentista. Nauroin itsekin kontrastille ja yleensä jos nauran tai lapsellisesti hihitän jollekin idealleni niin sillä mennään.

@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
Dang, when I had a chorus pedal it never sounded that eerie. Well done!

@dreamscuba Feb 2022
Good luck with FAWM 2022!

Hey Juha! Hope you have a wonderful FAWM! I have my Bard Cards all shuffled and ready to go!

Hi Juha, have a great time.

@tamsnumber4 Jan 2022
Have a great FAWM!!

@andygetch Jan 2022
Hello, and I hope that you find great movie inspiration this FAWM!
-
@timfatchen Jan 2022
Same deal as before? I keep going if you keep going and vice versa?
-
@writeandwrong Jan 2022
Ha! We loved Day of the Tentacle! My daughters absolutely loved it as well! And you betcha, though Ken Williams wrote a book recently (which I definitely pre-purchased before it came out) called "Not All Fairy Tales Have Happy Endings: The Rise and Fall of Sierra On-Line." Well-written book and it was fascinating to read to get "his" perspective on what went down. I wanted some answers. Definitely a great read!!! Wishing you the best on your game! Would love to see it when you're ready! (And I'm mixed on the deal... lots of feelings... Guess it's a wait and see what happens.)

(Sorry, didn't mean to write a book... those days... I miss them so much.) -
@writeandwrong Jan 2022
They were amazing times... and when we moved to NYC it kinda sucked as the only programming they did was database programming, not gaming. That was mostly on the West Coast at the time. Microsoft recently acquired Activision for $68.7 billion which means now Microsoft will own all the stand-alone Sierra games.
-
@writeandwrong Jan 2022
Part 2: I was really sick with my 2nd pregnancy and had a rough delivery/baby was lethargic, etc. so I stopped working. My now ex-husband also worked for Sierra and he continued until 1999. They offered us to move to Seattle, flew us up there, took us on a cruise at Puget Sound, etc., etc., but we declined. When the Oakhurst, CA office closed, we moved to NYC.

@writeandwrong Jan 2022
Hey, I can't remember. I started out at their daughter company, The Sierra Network (TSN), later called The ImagiNation Network (INN). I started out in CS/TS; every employee was a QA tester during crunch time; after two months I was in the Finance Dept, but was a liaison between them and the MIS team; my job was moved to Burlingame and they offered me to go, but I declined; went to the parent company, Sierra On-Line (SOL) where I started out in QA, testing games like Gabriel Knight, etc. I then moved to the Art Department where I was credited for The Realm (RPG game), so... a little bit of everything! LOL BEST company to work for!!! It was AMAZING!!!
-
@writeandwrong Jan 2022
Happy FAWM 2022, Juha! Always enjoy listening to your tunes. They remind me a bit of my days from working at Sierra. Hope you are well and looking forward to hearing more from you! And hoping to put those Bard Cards to use now that I have them!!! :)
-
@tiller2 Jan 2022
My Bard Card technique is a dash of made-up ritual and personal numerology. I deal out nine cards in a 3x3 grid, sit with my guitar & let my eyes wander over them, trying out the various concepts, including musical ideas. I'm looking for a strong, primary idea to be at the center of the song; other ideas might be verse, bridge, rhythm, etc. Ideally I start with a kernel of an idea (in this first song from Eckhart Tolle). If nothing clicks in this system, I deal a tenth card that MUST be prominent in the song, skirmish-style. I plan to use this method during FAWM this year
-
@tiller2 Jan 2022
Hey Juha, I finally worked out my technique for using your Bard Cards and got a good song out of them! Happy FAWMing.

@sw1n3flu Jan 2022
Ahhhh cool, you're here!

@elesimo Jan 2022
Hi, there! I'm *so* jealous you got a 4-track for your avatar! :)
Have an amazing FAWM!
