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*

💀💀💀lmao well yes feral children would be an improvement 😅😅😅

@sollis 2w

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!

@cowboydick 2w

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.)

@dutchwind 2w

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

@mikeb 2w

Thanks for the comment on 'Floating on the Seine'!

@zebraphone 2w

Thanks for the congrats! I'm so pleased. And thank you especially for all your supportive and generous comments - so kind of you :-)

@loveonamixtape 3w

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

@pineboxart 3w

I’ve been digging your stuff. Look forward to #14!

@the_bachelor 3w

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 😁

@the_bachelor 3w

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”

@wehappyfew 3w

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

@clownresidue 3w

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

@shortdan 4w

4/4, just very shuffly!

@wehappyfew 4w

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. 😂

@sailingmagpie 4w

Can't believe I forgot Clyde Bruckman!

@deena 4w

I'm very curious about #bubblegrunge. Looking forward to hearing that turn up!

@sailingmagpie 4w

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.

@wehappyfew 4w

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. 👌

@zecoopMod 5w

Left you a possible collaboration in your e-mail, but use the second one with drums. :)

@newukenewyork 5w

Thanks so much for listening to "Like There’s No Enemy in There" -- much obliged.

@santadharma 5w

aaah ok that makes sense!

@judypie 5w

Eeee love them! Especially Agnes 😁

@judypie 5w

Hehe thank you, thought it was about time a took a wife! What’s your profile pic?

@timothybracken 5w

Yay thank you for the listen and feedback. So glad you liked my song. Looking forward to hearing all of yours!

@scottmcb 5w

I love Fountains of Wayne too, so I definitely take that as a compliment. 😀

@kiffa 6w

Thank you Vom, for your lovely comment on "Easter Sunday". Your encouragement means a lot!

@complexissimple 6w

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.

@newukenewyork 6w

Thank you so much for listening to "Didn't Say Stay" and leaving an encouraging comment. This place has the good vibes. :)

@toms 6w

Yeah, it's funny, back in the day the drummer actually used to play like that. 😄 Three cheers for EZDrummer!

@santadharma 6w

ooh thanks for the heads up about collabs being different and thank you for the lovely comments.

@tomski 6w

Thanks for the nice comment on At First The Sea Was Calm… It was much appreciated.

@zebraphone 6w

Thanks for commenting :~)

@davidtaro 6w

Just clocked that Simpsons meme! It’s something I tell my children on a near weekly basis. Great life advice, right?😂

@sailingmagpie 6w

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.

@bandybum 6w

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 :)

@spideroctopus 6w

yeth

@risbon 6w

Excited for this year!!

@musicsongwriter 7w

Hi Tom, Happy Fawm :)

@lanasolyluna 7w

Hey hey, welcome back!!

@thedutchwidows 7w

Hi Vom. Remiss of me not to say hello earlier - so, hello! Hope you’re well! Have an excellent February!

@arthurrossi 7w

Hi Vom! I wish you a wonderful February!

@loveonamixtape 7w

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! 🙃)

@kovbleu 7w

Congrats on the new laptop and bring on the drums! You are going to have a fantastic FAWM!

@loveonamixtape 7w

Internet Friend! Great to see you here as always and looking forward to more siq new toonz from u.

@gm7 7w

It looks like Rafa is a bass player...going that open bass E string. Talented!

@miltz 7w

Hi, Vom Vorton. Have a great FAWM.

@nancycunning 7w

I love your bouncy, punky, Idle Hands - looking forward to hearing where your gateway leads.

@sailingmagpie 7w

New phone. Who dis?

@rayboneor 7w

Yo! Looking forward to what pops out of your DAW, as always

@tobermory 7w

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

@kissinginpublic 7w

Hello! The green actually suits your pic! :)

@max 7w

FAWMseason greetings. Happy 16th!

@balancelost 8w

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.
