February Album Writing Month

Anyone ever heard of this?

https://fawm.org/myfawm/

I managed to persuade the band to give it a go. We basically need to put together 14 tracks written, recorded and mixed in feb. We've been generating ideas independently for a week and had a FB live listening session yesterday to go through it. Obviously its a bit less complex than our usual stuff but I'm really psyched about how well this could turn out.

Has been a nice chance so far to explore some slight stylistic variations that I don't think we would have pursued if we were just jamming in a room as a band. 

Here's a WIP of the song that's most complete so far.

    @PolarityMan hey there, I've just been doing FAWM, which is why I haven't checked in to TFB for the last few weeks. What was your username?

    I've participated since 2008 and love it. It's a very positive community and everyone is very supportive of each other no matter what level you're at. You can collaborate with people all over the world if you want to - it's great fun. And you can get loads of comments and feedback if you make an effort. 

    The emphasis is to write songs and post demos - not really full productions, but everyone does it however they want to. I like to post good quality recordings myself.
    Of course it only really lasts for February so it's mostly over now but here's my FAWM page with the songs I wrote - https://fawm.org/fawmers/oddbod/

    I didn't really participate in the community aspect because we were heads down as a band. Good to know other people are doing it to. I'll queue up your tracks after this youtube vid!

    Sounds really good. LIstened up to the haunting so far. Some really nice vocalists youve got collaborations with there too.
