This will be my 7th FAWM, I mainly write indie/psych/folk rock tunes, but not afraid to dive into more electronic and experimental music for variation.
I sing and play guitar, bass, bouzouki, mandolin, keyboards, omnichord, theremin, autoharps, zither, melodica, clarinet, musical saw, noisy gadgets and then program/fake the things I can't play.
I've released two albums and EP with material from earlier FAWM's and 50/90's, and working on my third full length album set for a spring 2022 release.

@vomvorton Mar 2022
Ooh, your offer re: my Bas Jan Bass Jam is very tempting! Would you like some stems to play with and see if it inspires any ideas?
-
@lyricslinger Feb 2022
Thanks for the note. Okay, will post them and see if anyone else is interested
-
@guatecoop Feb 2022
Hey there! No worries at all. You again have done some really cool music and are always willing to try new things! I was pleasantly surprised to hear you on challenges, which I didn’t remember you doing much before. You ended up with a bunch of good songs again too! Feel free to reach out when you feel refreshed and I can work on whatever you want me to, as I can work much more freely with the new room. What did you think of your new space?
-
@guatecoop Feb 2022
No worries! I was just curious
-
@guatecoop Feb 2022
Hello! I was wondering if you were still going to send some stems? Things seem to be going pretty well for you!
-
@lyricslinger Feb 2022
Just checking that you received the email I sent? Conscious that it might have gone into your junk folder
-
@jorh Feb 2022
Ahhh good glad to hear it, the track sounds really great :) I tried to keep the structure quite consistent cause I was hearing a pop lyric in my head…but some of my other lyrics this fawm have been a right unwieldy mess haha.
-
@jorh Feb 2022
Hey ,
I’ve just listened to the track and it sounds ACE!! It is stacked full of hooks (the run part, the pre chorus and the one step forward parts) and you’ve weaved them all together seamlessly. It makes for a great pop song - thank you for collabing, i really appreciated you taking the time to set the lyrics to music :) -
@lyricslinger Feb 2022
I've emailed you an idea for the collab lyrics :)
-
@lyricslinger Feb 2022
Thanks for that steer. I'll see what I can do
-
@lyricslinger Feb 2022
Hi,
I see we've been paired in the Random Collab challenge. Look forward to working with you. Will start thinking about some lyrical ideas but let me know if there are any themes, etc, that interest you?
Simon -
@guatecoop Feb 2022
Yup. Yessir. Absolutely. I'm in. Seems like things are going better than expected for you, right? I'm glad. I've been checking in and commenting when I can. Send it over!
-
@jorh Feb 2022
Sounds good to me :) and yes no worries, no rush at all! And as always feel free to tweak the lyrics to fit to any melody ideas
-
@jorh Feb 2022
Ah good sounds like we were in the same position then! The random die sounds like a fun idea to me and in the spirit of the random collab :) Some people have asked to set a few of the lyrics to music, but I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem to have 2 versions if you landed on that one. I can always check with them first anyways.
-
@jorh Feb 2022
Hey,
Apologies for the delay in reaching out, I can see we’ve been paired in the random collabs. Any thoughts on how you want to do it? I’m a lyricist only so music wise I’m pretty much rendered useless haha -
@zecoop Feb 2022
Fantastic! Yeah, I just wanted to give you something minimal to start with and then we can build it up however it goes on both sides. Shape it up however you want and then we'll start adding. :)
-
@zecoop Feb 2022
I am e-mailing over the files. I mixed it quickly, but I also sent the six tracks I recorded onto the 8-track cassette. Let me know what you think. :)
-
@sph Feb 2022
You're right, the passerelle was quite expensive particularly because of the import tax. I think building one out of hardwood like David Torn did will do the trick just as well. The brass one is also really big. Next time I will use thicker strings on the treble side: these ones are a bit loose
-
@zecoop Feb 2022
Oh, they were recorded in my 8-track cassette with no click, so let me more if that will work…
-
@zecoop Feb 2022
I recorded some new drum songs yesterday and am going to add bass to one, with you in mind. I’ll send it over and if you want to see what happens we can build something together?
-
@lanasolyluna Feb 2022
Phew! Just saw your note. Was wondering if you hated it I had so much fun going down nostalgia lane. Thanks for that!
-
@owl Feb 2022
Ohh cool, I wish I’d caught that sale, it sounds great!
-
@lanasolyluna Feb 2022
OK may have come up with some lyrics. May be total garbage...
-
@cblack Feb 2022
(Possible title "Haunted", unless you think of something better!)

@cblack Feb 2022
For the random collab:
Liner:
cblack says: Random collab with w1n. Hopefully they like these lyrics! Can't wait to hear what they do with them! They were cathartic to write (as you'll see). :)
Lyrics:
Haunted by a violent spirit,
the spectre of an ancient race,
who feasted on the brains of slaves,
once gone they left no trace.
He makes misery wherever he may go,
and holds no brook with conscience.
A pathetic excuse for life
who continually tries my patience.
How do you deal with a ghost
who simply won't move on?
I know you're still there, Chad.
Afraid your next life will be bad?
You're afraid. (I can tell.)
He's with me right now and just won't fuck off,
even though he's about as powerful as a nagging cough.
I named you, shamed you,
thoroughly defeated you.
Move on you whiny shit
if you care just a bit.
I'm done with you now,
I've already shown how.
Move on, Chad.
Wanker.
But...
How do you deal with a ghost
who simply won't move on?
I know you're still there, Chad.
Afraid your next life will be bad?
You're afraid. (I can tell.)
How do you deal with a ghost
who simply won't move on?
I know you're still there, Chad.
Afraid your next life will be bad?
You're afraid. (I can tell.)
Yes, you're afraid. You're also a burden.
Go away, please.
(See? I can be polite!) -
@santadharma Feb 2022
Right on! I'll play around with it and see if I can come up with something decent and get back to you :)
-
@zecoop Feb 2022
I pulled the individual dry tracks off the tape into one file. It is just one after the other, so this way you can get the clean individual sounds. Well, actually there is nothing clean about them. ;)

@standup Feb 2022
Hey, thanks for listening to Antipode. I’m using Logic, and the Logic drummer. In the “Songwriter” category I’m using a setting called 60s Songwriter, so you identified that pretty well.
-
@evinwolverton Feb 2022
Dope! I'd love to see it in action
-
@emkaydeebee Feb 2022
Nice one! Thank you!
-
@emkaydeebee Feb 2022
Hey! Just checking in for the Florida exquisite corpse - I’m second, behind you. Hope all okay!
-
@cblack Jan 2022
Do you have a particular topic, theme or style you prefer?
-
@cblack Jan 2022
Hey! We've been paired for the random collab!
-
@jsmalls Jan 2022
Given our shared influences I'm SUPER excited to be introduced to your music through FAWM this year. Hoping we can work together re: percussion and that you have a great start to FAWM 2022 :)
-
@kovbleu Jan 2022
Glad to see you back! Have a great FAWM!
-
@stewdean Jan 2022
Hi, it was a great collab last year. I'm up for doing the same year! Name your theme etc and I'm happy to throw down some lyrics. Or maybe something else like a guitar track.
-
@thelowestbitter Jan 2022
w1n! good to see you back, one of my favourite FAWMers. Really looking forward to hearing what you come up with this year

Saw your note on the new gear thread. Sounds cool, hope I get a chance to hear!
-
@guatecoop Jan 2022
My goodness! You’ve been very busy!
-
@guatecoop Jan 2022
So what have you been up to? Any new projects or inspirations? You always have a unique and insightful presence around here. I hope that you can be around more than not!
-
@standup Jan 2022

-
@frenchcricket Jan 2022
Thank you! And you! Hope you have a very successful FAWM
-
@stephenwordsmith Jan 2022
Hello again!
I haven't forgotten your generous offer for my latest album. The pieces are still coming together, but I will make sure you're kept in the loop.
Still amazed by how good somersault is. -
@vomvorton Jan 2022
Hey hey! Looking forward to your tunes / the inevitable gear envy that they inspire :D
-
@guatecoop Jan 2022
A very big hello to you!! I hope that you’re back again this year!
