2022 is my 6th FAWM. Recently I’ve dropped new album (https://onerpm.link/921321653178), almost all songs from it were written on previous FAWMs, I just finished production for them. And now I feel irresistible need for new songwriting endorphin rush.
Last 3 years I wrote only 7 songs during each FAWM due to melancholy and overall overload in life. But I’m going to break this trend this year.
Previously I used to do a lot of composing stuff in DAW, record clean guitar and then tweak sounds on computer. This year I’m going to widely use my guitar pedalboard and record sounds I like directly in arrangements with little to no editing in DAW. Also I’m going to use Ableton Push2 and good old Novation Launchkey Mini for drums and synths sounds.
One more thing. I never did any collaborations on FAWM, but I passionately wish it and I feel it should happen this year. I’m open for any suggestions.
Last years I missed a lot of great music that was made here because of time restrictions. My aim this year is not to waste all these amazing things that happen here in Feb.
My checklist for FAWM 2022
* 14+ songs
* 3+ challenges
* 1+ collaboration
* 100+ comments on others songs
As always, I write and sing in Russian and give here a literal translation.
If interested, follow me on social media, streaming platforms etc. I’m glad to connect with you all, awesome, inspiring people ¯_( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ)_/¯

Here is a photo from a street concert in 2017 where I performed some songs from my first FAWM. That first FAWM was a game changer for me.
02/27/2022 yeah, I did it! There is a lot of material I can continue working with during the year. I did some number of challenges, a nice collaboration with Pete. And now I’m going to spend the rest of time listening to works of folks around.
I love you all! Peace to your homes <3

Thanks for your comment on my song 'Outer Space'. Its one of my faves that didn't quite make the cut for the album I made of my FAWM songs, but it is one that I may well return to in the future.
Спасибо! Glad you liked my Mojave Desert. For I hope "absolute trip" equals "nice trip". ;-)
It's funny that you said that the reverb made you feel like you were in an ice cave.....That exact VSTi is from the Spitfire Labs and is called Frozen Strings....You win!
Thx for comments !
Thanks a lot for stopping by! I'm glad you enjoyed "Pedal to metal" and I hope that we can make it final.
Great, thank you Aleksey.
I will post it shortly.
Hi Aleksey, I have a demo for you to listen to. Let me know if you're happy for me to post it on FAWM.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work on it. I enjoyed it very much.
The demo is here - https://files.fawmers.org/FAWM_2022/petemurphy/PeteMurphy_nicetrip_Passion_150222.mp3
Hey, thanks so much. I will download them now, and get to work as soon as I can.
I really appreciate you doing it.
Cheers!
Thanks, I appreciate your comments!
Thanks a lot for your comments!
Thanks for listening to "eternal" and for your comment :D
Hey @nicetrip! Thank you for reaching out. I'll be joining the FAWM challenge this year!
Happy FAWMing :)
Thank you for your welcoming message. I wish you a wonderful and fulfilling FAWM.
Happy FAWMing, I'm looking forward to hearing your new music as well!
Thx for welcoming words. Same to you! Looking forward to much good music.
Great to see you on FAWM! Looking forward to your music!
Thanks for your warm welcome! Have a great FAWM!
Hi there! Your songwriting endorphin rush is happening just in time. Here's to some great songs this Febrauary!
Hi Aleksey! It's definitely hard to open up and share ourselves honestly. I think that's when the greatest music and lyrics comes out though. Looking forward to learning about you through your music. : )
Happy FAWM! Glad you’re gonna be up for the fuzz challenge! Your influences are right up my alley! I’ve fallen short the past couple years too for the same reasons, let’s do the whole 14 again this year! I dig the approach you’re going to take, I gotta do less in the DAW myself too, and that’ll probably help!
Hey good to see you too! Good luck this year!
Welcome back for another FAWM!
Hi Aleksey! That's great! It would be really cool to do something. Wishing you all the best.
Welcome back. Thanks for the note. It's good to see people returning. Let's have a great FAWM!
Hi, Aleksey! I'm glad I was able to help! Have a great FAWM, looking forward to your songs! :)
Thanks, and I hope this FAWM gives you what you’re looking for!
Oh, apologies.
I really enjoyed your song, Tanana.. Great grooves. It’ll be fun listening to you. I hope you find some other Russian FAWMers, but if not you’ll have to represent.
Thanks, Aleksey, for sure with the mando and harp. I hope you have a great first FAWM. You’re off to a good start by embracing the community. I look forward to hearing what you come up with.
Hello, and welcome back! :-)
Hey there! Good to see you back. I was checking out the Tanana album this morning and will check out more this weekend. Sounded great!
