He / Him.

Back for year SIXTEEN!? Keen to write some SONGS. Also I've been learning the #drums since last April or so and I'm kinda alright now? So will be drumming! If you want some drums let me know! Also got a new laptop for this year which probably won't make any difference to how anything sounds but rest assured it makes a big difference to me 😄

Also keen to take part in some #4_track collabs, as usual!

genres: #indie_rock #indiepop #synthpop #power_pop #bubblegrunge

influences: The Beths, Illuminati Hotties, Martha, Jens Lekman, The Radio Dept., Magnetic Fields, Trust Fund, Sonic Youth etc.

Vowl Sounds album with @owl:

*please feel free to sample, cover, borrow, remix my songs in any way you see fit*

Thanks for checking out my songs and leaving some kind words, Tom :) I saw some of your 4-track work in the video about the making of 'I Am A Nightingale' on the FAWM YouTube channel as it happens! It was a really good watch and just made me all the more tempted to dive into the world of actual 4-track recording! So maybe by this time next year I'll be doing just that, rather than using my imaginary 4-track in my DAW.

The other refreshing thing in that video was seeing everybody mess up their first few takes! I know that feeling all too well, and watching everyone's increasingly frustrated reactions was like looking in a mirror!

Thanks for your kind comments on "Thirst." Thanks for listening, and congrats on a successful FAWM 2023! See ya next year, maybe? (Magnetic Fields fan here too, and I count Stephin Merritt as an influence of sorts.)

Thanks for the comments on “Beyond The Sun” — Much appreciated!

@mikeb
Thanks for the comment on 'Floating on the Seine'!
[avatar]
Thanks for the congrats! I'm so pleased. And thank you especially for all your supportive and generous comments - so kind of you :-)
[avatar]
Thank you for all of your comments always, but thank you especially for your comment on "Skipped My Lips," which made me literally spit some of my coffee out this morning when I read it! XD
[avatar]
I’ve been digging your stuff. Look forward to #14!
[avatar]
Thanks for the info on the drums….. I’ve got a set of ddrums that the controller keeps cutting out on… If I ever get my hands and feet to quit throwing up all over each other, I’ll look into that Ezdrummer 😁
[avatar]
I saw where you were learning drums…. I’ve got a set of electrics I’ve been hammering on the last couple of months. I’m thinking about getting an old school set, but I was wondering how hard they are to mic? Yours sounded great in “I’m a Loser”
[avatar]
Hey would it be okay to email me an mp3 of ‘I’m a loser’ please for the We Happy Few archives? Our address is wehappyfewmusic@yahoo.co.uk if so. Thanks
[avatar]
thank you so much for your comments on my songs!! i'm always happy to see another hades fan :D i finished it over 2 years ago but i still play it regularly LOL
[avatar]
4/4, just very shuffly!
[avatar]
Hahaha, very relieved to hear you like my final part for Tape 5, there’s quite a responsibility having the last say. 😅 I'd never of come up with something like this by myself, so it just proves what a fun and creative community this is! Also, kids have a strange and wonderful view on the world. 😂

Can't believe I forgot Clyde Bruckman!

@deena
I'm very curious about #bubblegrunge. Looking forward to hearing that turn up!
[avatar]
Mine too. I made Louise watch it all when we got together. Off the top of my head my top 5: Cher, Firestarter, Squeeze, 731 and the Bryan Cranston one which ultimately led to Breaking Bad.

Not that you asked.
[avatar]
Many thanks for checking out my songs and your encouraging comments, much appreciated! Ps your electric drum kit has some cool sounding samples, and good way of not annoying the neighbours. 👌
[avatar]
Left you a possible collaboration in your e-mail, but use the second one with drums. :)
[avatar]
Thanks so much for listening to "Like There’s No Enemy in There" -- much obliged.
[avatar]
aaah ok that makes sense!
[avatar]
Eeee love them! Especially Agnes 😁
[avatar]
Hehe thank you, thought it was about time a took a wife! What’s your profile pic?
[avatar]
Yay thank you for the listen and feedback. So glad you liked my song. Looking forward to hearing all of yours!
[avatar]
I love Fountains of Wayne too, so I definitely take that as a compliment. 😀

@kiffa
Thank you Vom, for your lovely comment on "Easter Sunday". Your encouragement means a lot!
[avatar]
Usually when making beepbox songs I save links to different points in the process for future reference, but this time I don't think I actually saved anything except the exported file. So what instruments were selected is just another thing we don't know on The Chaos of Not Knowing.
[avatar]
Thank you so much for listening to "Didn't Say Stay" and leaving an encouraging comment. This place has the good vibes. :)
[avatar]
@toms
Yeah, it's funny, back in the day the drummer actually used to play like that. 😄 Three cheers for EZDrummer!
[avatar]
ooh thanks for the heads up about collabs being different and thank you for the lovely comments.

@tomski
Thanks for the nice comment on At First The Sea Was Calm… It was much appreciated.
[avatar]
Thanks for commenting :~)

Just clocked that Simpsons meme! It’s something I tell my children on a near weekly basis. Great life advice, right?😂
[avatar]
Hey, no shame in that. Shallow Grave is a great film. Kinda makes me wanna rewatch it now, if only to witness Keith Allen's transformation from the horrible arsehole he is in real life to the horrible arsehole he plays in the film.
[avatar]
Many thanks for the great feedback! And a special thanks for a pointer to Wheat's 5th album. Its new to me and I absolutely love it. The vocals remind me of Rufus Wainwright's "Beautiful child". Great stuff :)

Hi Vom. Remiss of me not to say hello earlier - so, hello! Hope you’re well! Have an excellent February!
[avatar]
Hi Vom! I wish you a wonderful February!
[avatar]
LOL SPOILER ALERT. I bought a better audio interface. That's it! But this one actually works, I think? Again -- we'll see! (Since I've barely touched any music stuff since last February! 🙃)
[avatar]
Congrats on the new laptop and bring on the drums! You are going to have a fantastic FAWM!

[avatar]
Yo! Looking forward to what pops out of your DAW, as always
[avatar]
Shall I write something here? Feels like forever since we talked. *checks notes* Nope, it's been less than an hour. I have a cassette 4-track to collect in three hours, squeee
[avatar]
Hello! The green actually suits your pic! :)

@max
FAWMseason greetings. Happy 16th!
[avatar]
Sweet. Thanks! You're right. It all goes on ramen, and very occasionally karaoke. I'm still not 100% I've not been scammed by the manufacturer but I must have faith that they will deliver, and in time.

@chroes
This must be the cutest profile pic I've come across! 😍
