Influences:   all that stuff that used to be popular

he/him

Year 10 and time for some decisions.

I've decided this is my last FAWM. Why? Well, this is the tenth year in a row I've spent making songs for the entire month. Next year I kinda want to see what February is like without the "need" to participate. A decade feels like a good place to end things.

There's also the fact that declaring to do something for the last time (for the foreseeable future) might give some inspiration that I haven't had yet.

So, for the last time: let's do this!

  I know it's kind of funny that I just added you to my watchlist ~ the day after you finished your last FAWM ~ but I've just found your music, and I'm so glad I have! Such an impressive blend of artistry and wit. I'm a fan!

  You have too much talent to deprive us of your music :)

  Hi Tuomas, just following up about our collab :)
  I'd like to get the ball rolling (perhaps next week, if you're still up for it), but finding your email address is proving a challenge... can you please help? :)

  Wow, fawm in action! Sounds great, will come back and explore your work further :)

  "Hey, thanks for all your kind words! I'm all for doing a collab :) "
  
  - Great! Drop me an email of what you fancy, i.e. work on one your songs, or start afresh, etc.
  
  Exciting! :)

  "I found your song with the random function, clicked on play, listened to about 15 seconds, skipped to the middle, then watchlisted you.
  Then I restarted the track and listened to the whole thing. This is something I thorougly enjoy, the instrumentation and the feeling is something I'd want to sometimes strive for. Thank you."
  
  - Thank you, Tuomas, you just made my day :)

  Each year from about year 7 I went through the same mind thoughts. Then I realised my best material (and most) came out of either FAWM or 5090 and by about year 12 thought "what the hell" and just kept doing it. Although, from then on, I listened a lot more.

  I like your vocal. It sounds authentic. And I'm smiling at your "Influences" : "all that stuff that used to be popular"
  
  I can relate! That's where I live! :)
