The Timer Goes Ding by @hummingbear now has music. https://fawm.org/songs/128064/
-
@standup Feb 2022
I keep monkeying with this song, trying to get EVEN MORE REVERB in it. I've revised the mix probably 6 times in the last couple days. Getting the balance right is hard.
https://fawm.org/songs/128339/ -
@radiobenedetto Feb 2022
After spending way too much time trying to master this demo I accidentally uploaded the unmastered version in my original upload. Now includes mastering (such as it is) and a few added edits and effects.

@kenmattsson Feb 2022
After releasing my freshman entry to the work of using someone else's audio files into something, I took @nadine's recommendations and tried to get the balance better and panned the two vocals to the sides. Hope this is an improvement!
Everything duet/collab with @ofishell: https://fawm.org/songs/131912/ -

https://fawm.org/songs/131969/ -
@seppo Feb 2022
I decided to write lyrics and "sing" my latest after Nadine made brass tracks there, so it needed to be done.
I'm no singer or writer but in fawm I'm pretending to be both.

https://fawm.org/songs/131690/ -
@cblack Feb 2022

@darcistrutt Feb 2022
My second born was willing to do some "bad" country for my anti-love song. It has a duet demo now!
https://fawm.org/songs/131885/ -
@gubna Feb 2022

I've uploaded lyrics and a track for my placeholder song "Trenches" https://fawm.org/songs/138310/
-
@fearlessflight2014 Mar 2022
I've finally got audio up for two Zongs if anyone is in the mood. Raunchy up tempo swing collab with @leepat here: https://fawm.org/songs/137217/ and a cheesy retro piano pop thing here: https://fawm.org/songs/137220/
-
@chroes Mar 2022
I worked a bit more on my dystopian metal instrumental "Going Down". I think I solved my problems with some more saturation in the right places and a more careful use of compressor and limiter. I also added a bit more to the song, as I had found it too short before.
https://fawm.org/songs/137509/ -
@seppo Mar 2022
@natalie wanted to afterfawm collab, and if someone want to sing on my songs, of course we do it.
Here's new version with SlowMotion
https://fawm.org/songs/127970/ -
@complexissimple Mar 2022
@nancycunning added a screeching one-take demo to Bones Are Built To Last But Nothing Else Is (really the only appropriate approach) https://fawm.org/songs/128652/
-
@ampersandman Mar 2022
I finally got my last one out, placeholders be gone.
https://fawm.org/songs/137567/ -
@mikeskliar Mar 2022
So I did such and extensive rewrite of my song 'when the sun turns blue' (turning it into 'sun turns grey' but that's not even the half of it) that I used a 'placeholder' (which i wasn't sure I'd have anything for) for the song posting, so here it is.... https://fawm.org/songs/138303/
-
@mikeskliar Mar 2022
(and I should mention that that song currently has no comments (zong)) ...
-
@chipwithrow Mar 2022
First time I think I've ever updated one of my own demos post-FAWM:
https://fawm.org/songs/137994/
Now I'll go back and listen to a few of the others posted in this thread! -
@fearlessflight2014 Mar 2022
I've got a demo up and unlocked my collab with @timfatchen. I think it turned really pretty, so if you like girl-with-piano style friendship tributes you can have a listen here: https://fawm.org/songs/137221/
-
@davidtaro Mar 2022
I had a skirmish tune which I really loved, but wanted to improve production and lyrics-wise. Updated version here if anyone fancies a listen: https://fawm.org/songs/127681/
-
@downburst Mar 2022
I wrote an instrumental a while back, and @emkaydeebee wrote wonderful lyrics for it, and we recorded it, finally, as a duet. It feels like a whole new song, so I posted it as a whole new song. https://fawm.org/songs/138010/ (I miss the days when we could just write *138010.)
-
@emkaydeebee Mar 2022
Thanks so much @downburst !
@metalfoot @nancycunning @standup @audrey I have now updated the story behind it - it’s quite something! -
@berni1954 Mar 2022
https://fawm.org/songs/136376/
This is one I wrote for a skirmish while on holiday in Paris. But the cable I use to communicate between my Zoom H1 recorder (mini USB) was not working and I couldn't find a shop with one anywhere (all USB B & Cs on the shelves). So I have done a full band version and also added another verse (the second). -
@br0th3rh00d Mar 2022
Latest update. https://fawm.org/songs/131298/

Demo updated for Hard Hitting with vocals from @nancycunning
https://fawm.org/songs/134501/ -
@tuneslayer Mar 2022
The original posting of this song was completely a capella. I revised the lyrics a bit and put a backing track to it and I'm much happier with the result.

-
@br0th3rh00d Mar 2022
This has some other footage and potential for redoing/re-jigging/re-uploads but here is the last of the versions I recorded tonight by itself: I've never properly edited a video before. https://fawm.org/songs/132798/

better late than never, better little than nothing, I guess: https://fawm.org/songs/132875/
-
@gubna Apr 2022
Finally did this one. The idea was to just use one word as the lyric.
https://fawm.org/songs/138137/
It's in my 3rd album from this 2022 FAWM - the first two were all weird synth pieces, and this was all the ones with me singing/spoken word. https://spamystyle.bandcamp.com/album/the-last-great-hurrah -
@hmstreetteam Apr 2022
A handful of skirmishes ended with only lyrics, leaving me to write music later. The latest in this series: https://fawm.org/songs/134556/
