Two songs have emerged overnight!

"Internet Friends", a duet with my (internet) friend Ashley:

And this one is a big crazy rock opera that some guy put together and I'm one of the many singers who plays a part - it's 11 minutes long!
"Nunavut Gold Rush: https://fawm.org/songs/135588/

TWO MORE!

"Heart of the City" - I drove to a friend's house in Sheffield and recorded this one today, his dog watched
https://fawm.org/songs/136370/

"The Importance Of Being Absurdist" - this is a four-track tape one on which I recorded the synth, and then since the next person in the chain was my friend Adam who lives in Chesterfield, I drove the tape to his house and failed to befriend his cat
https://fawm.org/songs/136358/

unplanned double-bill of songs where I visited people's homes

The Importance Of Being Absurdist - reet good
Heart Of The City - the way it organically and catchily meshes together, is rather excellent!

an absolute disgrace

Post by **dng** » Sun Feb 27, 2022 8:40 pm

i have been thinking about cutting my beard off also recently

Post by **vom** » Sun Feb 27, 2022 8:43 pm

I've been thinking about growing mine back

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Sun Feb 27, 2022 9:13 pm

Why not compromise, and have half a beard each?

Post by **dng** » Sun Feb 27, 2022 10:11 pm

But which half

Post by **vom** » Sun Feb 27, 2022 11:51 pm

here's some ridiculous synth

"The Last AI": https://fawm.org/songs/137030/

Post by **dng** » Mon Feb 28, 2022 12:24 am

excellent, amazing

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Mar 01, 2022 12:30 am

The Last AI is marvellous!

Here's a final four-track song that I haven't heard yet because I need to film my reaction to it for a thing and I should probably get dressed before I do that

https://fawm.org/songs/137955/

Post by **dng** » Tue Mar 01, 2022 12:03 pm

did you get dressed in the end i need to know

Post by **vom** » Tue Mar 01, 2022 12:54 pm

yes eventually

Post by **vom** » Tue Mar 01, 2022 12:54 pm

also the song is good!

Post by **vom** » Tue Mar 01, 2022 12:55 pm

I posted two more unfinished things in the hope that I'll be motivated to add to them, will link them here if so. they're probably not much fun to listen to in their current state

i finally watched born in flames today and it was brilliant. hooray

Post by **vom** » Mon Mar 21, 2022 9:45 pm

hooray! the scene that inspired the music was the one with all the women on bicycles with whistles

Post by **dng** » Mon Mar 21, 2022 11:55 pm

Excellent. I liked how it was an absolutely incredible bit of actual 80s documentation, and somehow also terrifyingly/depressingly contemporary in basically every single way, about everything

Post by **dng** » Mon Mar 21, 2022 11:58 pm

and also it had that perpetually bearded man from various christopher nolan film and hundreds of other things in it, for one minute, without a beard, as "irritating man pestering a woman on a train", moments after that bicycle scene. which was a bit weird

Post by **dng** » Mon Mar 21, 2022 11:58 pm

this man
