🎶 Weekly challenge time: Write your PERSONAL SOUNDTRACK! 🎬

Whether it's a life-defining anthem, day-in-the-life “montage” music, or a moment's vibe, capture a part of you in song. 🌟

Think "Tapestry" (Carole King) or "Life is a Highway" (Tom Cochrane).

What's your theme song? 🎧

#FAWM #FAWMChallenge #FebruaryAlbumWritingMonth #SongwritingChallenge #PersonalSoundtrack

🎶 Weekly songwriting challenge: PUBLIC DOMAIN! 🚨

Incorporate something from the PUBLIC DOMAIN into a new song. Borrow a melody, twist a lyric, or flip a folk tune on its head.

Examples:
💡 ‘Greensleeves’ as a metal anthem.
💡 ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ as an existential crisis.
💡 ‘Scarborough Fair’ as a diss track.

What's your take? Post it to FAWM.ORG!

🎶✨ Weekly challenge time: Try writing a song with MORSE CODE! 📡

Think "YYZ" (Rush) with its airport-code rhythm, or Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 intro (code for "V").💡

Encode a message with rhythm (musical cryptogram anyone?) or use it as a hidden texture like "Planet Claire" (B-52s) or "Landing of the Daleks" (The Earthlings).

Bonus points for hidden messages! 😏

Coming up to a week into #februaryalbumwritingmonth @fawm

This year, I’m doing it as a collaborative effort with my mate Tom. We’ve already “written” 6 “songs” (aka banged out 6 demos), one or two of which are probably keepers…

Only 8 more to go to meet the goal of 14 songs…

So, nochmal einen kleinen Spaziergang und dann gehts los mit dem ersten #skirmish - einer einstündigen Liedschreibe-Challenge beim #FAWM (Februar Album Writing Month)
Hallo Februar!
Das Ergebnis gibts auch für meine Patrons... :)

Morgen dann der Spaziergang gegen den Faschismus - wir sehen uns in Leipzig!

#noafd #nocdu #gegendenfaschismus #FebruaryAlbumWritingMonth

songwriters. it's time to drink 3 cups of coffee, pick up an instrument, put on your songwriting hoodie, and stare at a blank page until the songs start flowing.

it's time to fawm.

I felt loopy today, so I checked my instruments before FAWM begins.They seem OK and almost in tune. Now I can go and wash my hair :)

Happy FAWM to all who take part and all the best to folks in Germany who go to the annual demonstrations for Democracy, Humanity and against RightExtremism in next days!

I just realized that I never posted my last #FebruaryAlbumWritingMonth 2023 demo here. It's called "I'll Play Along".

I'm really excited about this one. Every time I try to explain why, I have trouble finding the right words (fitting, since I was stuck on the lyrics for this song for several days). I'm always trying to do something that doesn't sound like me, or at least like something I've done before. I don't always succeed. This time, I think I did. #FAWM #Music

I've finished a demo for a new song, "Easter Sunday". It's my first song for #FAWM 2023 and it tells the true story of a girl who was killed in my hometown when I was young. I'm happy with the accomplishment, but be forewarned: it's a pretty heartbreaking story, and may not be for everyone. #FebruaryAlbumWritingMonth

Happy February! As of yesterday I have a new novel well under way and four stories out on submission (for the first time in years). So, I feel pretty okay about replacing my writing head with my music head and jumping into #FAWM for the next 28 days.

Ach, who am I kidding, I'm going to be attempting both, amn't I?
