Pronouns: he/they. The gender binary is like Newtonian color theory: two scientifically unsound ideas that just won't go away.

At this point, I am more agender than male, but presenting as male is convenient and I just don't care enough to make a fuss about it.

In 2023 I did my last NaNoWriMo. If you're curious, look up why NaNoWriMo closed their forums in 2023. The stuff needs content-warnings.

In 2018, I did FAWM Squared. In 2024, I got a total of 461 tracks. Next I want to solo 1,000 songs in February.

Interested in doing a collaboration? Have I earwormed you enough you want to cover one of them? Feel free.

Pretty much all of my stuff is released Creative Commons Attribution, which is similar to Public Domain in nearly every aspect except that you need to credit me.

You can make derivatives. You can use traditional copyright on your stuff. You make all the money, etc. You _just_ need to credit me.

I'm also giving explicit permission to feel free to post without waiting for me to approve it. You already have permission.

After FAWM, how do you want to attribute me?

My bandname is "yam655".
My website is https://yam655.com
My legal (and anonymous) name is: Steven Black

I don't care how you attribute me, as long as you attribute me. When in doubt, "Steven Black (https://yam655.com/)" is always good.

Thinking ahead... Next year's goals:

No more long acapella. 90 seconds will be the longest I'll go. I'm also not doing any more 60sx60s. I want to aim between 1:11 (71 seconds) and 77.7 seconds (1:17.7). This is returning to my earlier song lengths.

During 50/90 I want to test some infrastructure to upload songs in a distributed fashion and avoid dumping a big bundle all at once. This has long been an issue and is one of the reasons I've typically uploaded a fraction of the songs I write during these events.

I want to become an unending deluge of songs. Not overwhelming, but unavoidable.

I don't know if you're still around -- I confess my ongoing participation this late in March is spotty at best -- but thanks for pointing out the Beards & Beyond game to me! I'm not generally much of a gamer, but I kind of want to get this just to have it and maybe see if I can corral some friends into trying it out!
[avatar]
LOL – Now I feel a little better about missing it, too.
I prefer to do one thing a day, which greatly reduces the chances I'll disappoint anyone.
But I had an afternoon jam session an hour from home,
then took Mom her dinner (which I was almost late for),
then went to see a friend's concert (which I *was* late for),
and I missed chatting with @ductapeguy,
and by the time I got home, I totally gapped.
I wanted to touch base with @guatecoop too (Hey, Rob).
Next week :)

Hey, I liked the songs of yours I listened to. Do you have others that you’d especially like me to listen to, or would you prefer random sampling?
[avatar]
thanks for replying. i agree with a lot of it. i think unattatching from what is holding us back is helping us in this way
[avatar]
hey, just wanted to ask you - what did you learn from the process this time doing FAWM ?
do you feel your work has improved ? or maybe your process ? cause to put out such a number, im guessing there is something beneficial thats likely gone on for you to 'get out your own way' as it were
this may not be such an easy question to answer, though: do you think you have found an optimal to how you percieve your song quality vs the time put into each song ?
over time i want to increase my output and the quality, but also spend less time on them too
[avatar]
Thank you for your helpful comments on Unda Da Sea. I will definitely look at expanding it into full lyrics. And congrats on getting over 14 songs!
[avatar]
Thanks for your comment on my uh-shipwreck song. Yes, I’m comfortable with every song not being for every person. And I don’t hate even 5% of my songs, so I feel good about my statistics. 😄 Also — you’re right on with your unease about the narrator being found again. She would almost rather burn than be found be him again.
[avatar]
I'm pretty sure your crapcapella has higher production values than mine, but people are judging us in the opposite direction because I'm primarily a singer and you're primarily a songwriter.

Re REAPER fb, thanks, glad the donkey association raised a smile. I have to admit I smiled when the rhyme came to mind.

Wanted to take this off thread, but I've read some of the forum posts on the NaNo goings on and it *really* sucks. I'm going to wait to see if they clean up their act before November, but last year could be my final year too.

Also, another site-related issue: having to scroll for hours through all your songs to get to your Soundboard so I can leave a comment. 😝

I know you know this (or maybe you don't), but I just wanted to say how much you're awesome and I appreciate you and your songs! You have always been a huge inspiration to me!
[avatar]
Gotta say for the record, I fully support your, or anyone's, creative process. Keep on keepin' on.
[avatar]
How the ham sandwich did you do this? I can't...I just can't with you, man. LOL! Wow. Consider me gobsmacked.

Thanks for your comment on my mandolin tune Dingle Sunrise. Glad your friends were married, but sad they were un-berried in Dingle. Looks like you've had a good month, well done.

Re REAPER fb, thanks, glad the donkey association raised a smile. I have to admit I smiled when the rhyme came to mind. AND - oh my god, how many albums do you have here?!! Amazing!!!
[avatar]
I agree with your Forum post; more people should embrace improvisation. It's really freeing, creatively.

Thanks for listening to and commenting on National Drinking Game. Much appreciated!
[avatar]
You're rocking It!
[avatar]
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my latest track! :)
[avatar]
Thanx for your awesome comment on my failed 60x60 attempt!
Even without hearing the prompts I knew that it was all going to fall apart sooner rather than later, so I decided to just run with it when it did and then post the whole breakdown as one long piece.
You know, you were a major influence on my decision to try it.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for the excellent comment to my song How things work out - it was so spot on and when I re-listened, it made so much sense that I'm planning to make the change. Thank you!
[avatar]
Wow are you ever intuitive!! That’s exactly what happened! Thanks for the feedback, and yay for experimental acapekka jams, so fun, and it just seems like a direct brain to microphone kind of set up, at least to me. Much appreciated.
[avatar]
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments and suggestions on "TBC." Very helpful and I appreciate your taking the time!
[avatar]
Thanks for the comment on my lyre noodling! You can definitely strum this one as well, muting the strings you don’t want to play. I just like the way melodies sound on it.

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate the encouragement 😁Congrats to you for winning! I hope you have a lovely rest of your FAWM!

I was just reading your thoughts on story structure on @mikehex's page. Fascinating stuff for me, a former high school English Lit teacher. Thanks for the education. I'm always up for learning new things.
[avatar]
Hey, Thx for listening. Checking your stuff now.
[avatar]
Okay, WOW. After dealing with Ardour (and Bitwig, to a degree) on Pipewire, I'm amazed by LMMS. You might have pointed me to my new favorite DAW
[avatar]
Thanks, Yam, for your comment.
[avatar]
I'm inspired to try it out! So far I've only used Bitwig and Ardour + some virtual instruments
[avatar]
Nope, didn't know much of that (I mean, I knew about serialization and some of its implications for structure, but not to the point of adaptability for different cultures). It's interesting, I've read Mimesis and a bit of literary theory (the back and forth between Coleridge and Wordsworth, the arguments between the modernists), but none of what I've read has much to do with narrative. This is a bona fide blind spot that you've helped me identify (thanks!)

Any advice for an interested student of the arts?

Thanks for the comment :)

Just posted my interpretation of your "I Hate Ducks:" https://write.fawm.org/songs/282376
[avatar]
Believe them when they say they want some desired outcome is the whole point of the lyric. So glad that this was clear and thanks for the feedback.
[avatar]
I think we are in violent agreement

thanks for your feedback on YOLOcrian. Not sure I could have lasted 7 minutes of locrian without crying, although when I first came up with the bassline I was tempted to do a much slower grungier version, a bit Alice In Chains maybe, so there's always the option of a remix lol. Otherwise I'll save the epic for a friendlier mode like mixolydian!

Thanks for your thoughts on the toxic masculinity blues- I wrote this song because of the larger problem. It’s something we have to talk about if we want to move the dial on emotional wellness for men!
[avatar]
Much appreciated that you stopped by.
[avatar]
Good to see you bacj! Missed you!
[avatar]
Good, I'm glad you're back!
I really like collaborating with you!

Hey, bud!!
I missed you this summer, and I hope you're back for FAWM!!
