This is my third track for FAWM 2022, this is a 4 way remote collaboration using a four track recorder.

"A growing number of brave souls go OLD-school each FAWM to write a songs by recording one part onto cassette tape. The physical tape is then mailed through the post, to the next person on the list, who adds one part and sends it on to the next person. The last person mixes the four tracks and uploads the song. The results have been amazing." 

This is Tape 6 of the 21 this year, the contributors are
1: sorby69 - guitar (https://fawm.org/fawmers/sorby69/)
2: vomvorton - synth (https://fawm.org/fawmers/vomvorton/)
3: adforperu - vocals (https://fawm.org/fawmers/adforperu/)
4: me  - bass and mixing (https://fawm.org/fawmers/jimdgreen/)

Fawm23 - Full Horizontal - Four Track Challenge Tape 1

This is my first track for FAWM 2024 and I'm not happy with it, but we're 8 days in and I've not posted anything yet and I traditionally start with an instrumental . . . so this will have to do. 

I always try to image a scene for my instrumentals, usually after writing them.  This one I think is a long distance runner, in the rain clearly drained, occasionally stumbling but persevering on, driven on by an unknown cause.

This is also part of  The "F Am" Challenge! set by @burr, where you are challenged to write a song only using the  F Am chords, as it almost spells F A(w)m - more details here - https://write.fawm.org/forums/1809?highlight=f+am

Done using the @zecoop free drum tracks which can be seen here https://write.fawm.org/forums/2024?highlight=zecoop+ - you should check them out they're good and I use them every year!

FAWM 2024 - Track One- Driving Rain

Fawm 2024 - 5 - 4 Track Tape 15

This is my first track for FAWM 2025 and I'm (as always) not happy with it, it has a list of things I'd like to change, but if I start that I'll get no tracks done this FAWM

I always try to image a scene for my instrumentals, usually after writing them. This one I think is the sound track to a clip of dystopian film, where there's big machine running, un dark and steamy conditions. . . .  maybe in a ROboCop film

FAWM 2025 - Track 1 - Dystopian Driving Machinery

FAWM 2025 - 5 - broken heart

T1: @thedutchwidows - Drums and Bass
T2: @tobermory - Vocals and Keys
T3: @moggzy - guitar
T4 @jimdgreen - Spoken word

@jimdgreen says:
The guys have done such a great job on the first 3 tracks, I have had a complete
existential crisis of confidence, I struggled to find something worthy to add to the track, I have something but I know it's not strong . . .

I then technical mare with what I did, in hindsight I used the wrong microphone, I think it needs a preamp/cloud lifter before the four track, as what I have is ALL bass, which when you have a deep voice isn't ideal.

I reached out the guys who were super supportive, and came back with some constructive suggestions (particularly @moggzy) that I *think* have saved the tape . . .
