Jil • she/her • earthling for the time being

You can expect everything and nothing here. I’m into a lot of styles and I’m constantly surprising myself. My voice is classically trained, the rest isn’t. I love my electric guitars and synthesizers.

This is my second FAWM and I’m excited for the whole experience. I discovered FAWM last year, it was coincidence more or less. Couldn‘t be happier that I did. It changed a lot.

Main Goals:
* Writing at least 10 songs while working a full-time job. I’ll be making use of my bag full of unfinished ideas from the last few months or so.
* Getting better at writing lyrics
* Getting better at mixing
* Anything else (collabs, challenges) is a cherry on the cake. Because of time. But I’ll have you know, I really like cherry cake a lot.
* Probably my muse will be up to something entirely different. She can be an unruly mess.

Thank you so much for listening to "Who Would Be Mine." I appreciated the comment!

@nadine
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed "Magnetic Rose"
[avatar]
Thanks so much for your kind words about "Twenty Years!" It's much appreciated and I'm glad to hear that the lyrics, though specific, can still connect with others. You are right about gratitude. I was overcome by it while writing the song!

Next time I can record the sync on a separate track and send it to you. We actually did that with cassette tape this year, not sure if you saw it: https://write.fawm.org/songs/23455

I loved how you used the Moogs in our video collab! So good! Would love to do a collab during 50/90 or next year for FAWM!
[avatar]
great idea. You can never have too little eq trimming and the verb is probably where most of the issue is.
Hugs, my friend. Another Febrary over. You had a great month! I'm pleased for you and proud!

Thanks so much for the kind comment on "China Cabinet"! Wishing you a great end to FAWM!

@nadine
Thanks for checking out! Oh gal, I really miss those days full of concerts. I hope your ears are doing better. Today is the last day of mix and mastering, then I'll sit back and relax.

@nadine
Heyho! "I love my life" received a big update. With music. In your face!
[avatar]
Whoops. Sorry about. I think that “intoyourlight” and “loveonamixtape” are both stored in the “great names that include nouns and prepositions” drawer of my brain.

ref libraries/synch There is an oversupply on the market so don't be disheartened at rejections. It's a numbers game. I think I now have only one track still in a major library, but that ended up in a TV programme and still buys me occasional cups of barista coffee. Non-curated libraries like Pond5 are a last resort, but even so, they still generated licences for things like wedding videos (hey, $50 here, $50 there...it's a restaurant meal!)

Thank you 🤗

Well the drums are just EZdrummer and some disco midi pack. But thanks for the bass sound praise ;-)

I meant a big wow punch before you turn it down again, you might even repeat that at the end.... You really are on a roll all that pent up energy while sick has come tumbling out in some very promising material. I'm proud and excited for you! :)
[avatar]
@nadine
You're welcome! I consider bass as a rhythmic fundament. I usually mix it against the drums that they work together well. As a rule of thumb When you gradually turn down the music , the bass should disappear at the same time the kickdrum disappears and earlier than the guitar.

@suziek
Thank you for our comment on Walking Across Hot Coals. It was really kind. ❤️Peace among thorns

@nadine
Thanks for your comments! I'm glad you enjoyed my quick lyrics writes. Yes, feel free to use and mess around, just tell when you're 80% sure to remove the hashtags and reserve for you.
[avatar]
So glad you liked "hey minnesota" I was a bit nervous to do something without instrumentation. I'd love to hear your a capella!

@geoffs
Thanks for checking out my 2.6.23 Demo. Glad you like the riffs 😀 I'm out of the hospital now (after a 5 week stay), and I think I've found some lyrics for the song from lyric writing FAWMer. Hope to have it up tomorrow.

uuups... sorry für die falsche Namensgebung nach Dortmund.

Hey Andrea, Grüße zurück aus Hannover. Viel Erfolg bei den noch asustehehden Songs. Ich bin dieses JAhr auch so beschäftigt, und meine Aufnahmetechnik habe ich vom letzten Jahr nicht weiterentwickelt.... aber mal schauen. Ich freue mich mehr von dir zu hören.
[avatar]
Welcome to FAWM -- great goals! I wish you luck, and you're off to a great start!
[avatar]
Hey thank you for listening to my song! :)

Thanks for the kind comments on Glimpse. Glad you liked it! I definitely felt the nu metal gods calling on that one.
[avatar]
@candle
Thank you for your comment as well!

See You In The Shadows…

@nadine
Thanks a lot! I'm happy you enjoyed Glimpse. Maybe all the music I listened as a teen let me write such riffs. I'm still stuck in the year 2000 😂 really loved that massive sound.
[avatar]
Time passing is your friend. Patience.
[avatar]
It's an absolute delight (and a privelige) to watch you grow in your craft(s*)
If your ambition and dedication is equal to the promise I see/hear in you, you will grow into an incredible artist.
Hugs.

*there's several very demandig crafts entwined in this voodoo we pursue.

@gm7
Update.. working on our collab I will need some big help on the lyrics...lol. I will keep you updated .
thx again
[avatar]
I can say with some degree of certainty that I "am". Probably in several languages. Ipso facto, I must "be". :)
Hugs.
[avatar]
All that, you say, and I didn't even have to get out of my chair! :)
Be incredible. Every day. Hugs.
[avatar]
I must have done something right (for a change) to earn a smile AND a wink!
Wishing you a blessed Wednesday evening, my friend. With many more smiles.
Hugs.

@gm7
Awesome Awesome. Thx
I do have some lyrics written..but i do like your word flow. They are not etched in stone, so I welcome all comments, suggestions and changes. The song is about how people put up Barriers..(the song title BTW). So have the verse have different metaphors like river, wall, hill which are the barriers. Some What in a jazz style.
I'm stoked! Now i have to get going on this!
Garry / Gm7 I hope your covid symptoms are minor.

@gm7
Love your songs.! wow great vocals. I am writing a similar style of song (a cure for loneliness) with guitar and piano. I probably suspect you have had many collabs in the works. Just wondering if you offer to collab is still open?? You can check out my new album featuring many FAWEMers who have sung my songs because I can not sing...lol

Danke zurück! Auf Deutsch quatscht es sich einfach leichter! Ein Querhören durch deine Songs vermittelt einen sehr positiven Eindruck: angenehme Stimme und atmosphärische Songs, von denen mir "Defeat the demise" besonders gefällt. Bin gespannt auf deine Sachen!

Welcome back for another year!
Yeah, I do not make "Goals" for FAWM, because, as you say, the Muse does what it wants!

Hiya Jil! I like that line "earthling for the time being"! Maybe I should be "marsupial for now!"
