This thread does what it says on the box.

We begin with the second Psy-Wordsmith collaboration this year, 'Here's to your stillness': http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/6870

There's a Roel Van Veldt version to go up, too, as soon as he sees my soundboard message :)

Independence Day by The Miller + Calum Carlyle

Heyyyy,

So, I'm super new to this thing, but my friend Ben Levinson convinced me to try it out.
I just finished a tune, if you guys wanna check it out: http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7142

Thanks guys.

Chris Adams (cadams35) posted a set of lyrics, "I won't complain", a few days back, and I finally finished the demo for him this evening:
http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/6968
Enjoy!

Oh shoot! I finished another song...
Too bad it sounds frighteningly like my last one haha

Let me know which you like better, if you have time.

Music is now up for Academic Polemic. http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7347

Finally got a demo up for "Webs" http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7100

It's been sitting in my computer for days waiting for vocals.

Due to pressure from the above and others, I recorded vocals this morning for the Songskirmish #3 Massacre for Wellington, what an appalling title to be hit with at one's first skirmish.

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7469

Plainwhitetoast musicked up 'Apples' with guitar and tragedy. Laughing out loud

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/6983

I posted my first song called 'Fires and Faucets' ... and then did a quick rewrite after considering comments from themiller and posted a new one-take demo. http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7479

My song 'Hourglass' now has a demo, its just a single take, but you should get the idea.

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7480

I've added some guitar to musicsongwriter's lovely "Feeling Sad Today".

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7352

Thank you Paul, it sounds beautiful!

3/50! That's halfway right?!

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7738

I just uploaded a couple demos today, but this one is my favorite so far. It's a rough and slightly crappy demo but I kinda like the song! http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7200

rittmo has added some wonderful words to Nadia's "Feeling Sad Today" and turned it into a lullaby. Smile

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7352

'You Gotta Wonder' now has a demo.

Be warned, this is what happens when somebody who doesn't really understand the state of the British media attempts to write a song.

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7786

Here's a couple demos I uploaded last night for songs I posted a while ago.

"Play Me a Country Song" - http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7086

"Rain Tonight, Mud Tomorrow" - http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7823

I added vocals and took out the lead instruments for "the Girl with Yellow Boots"
I kind of like each version. I will likely go back and add a more coherent lead instrument to fill some gaps and add flavor and texture to the vocal version.

new vocal version: http://files.fawmers.com/plainwhitetoast/plainwhitetoast-5090%202011-gir...

original instrumental version: http://files.fawmers.com/plainwhitetoast/plainwhitetoast-5090%202011-gir...

i've uploaded my fifth demo today, it's probably the best thing i've recorded in ages, if anyone wants to hear a melancholic ukelele slow burner by a smitten indie guy, god, this is the song for you

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7945

OK so here it is after much sweat and effort - mainly becuase I haven't played the piano in a very long time.

As a result the vocal is pretty much a once through, but given that this really needs to be played on a proper grand piano to make the harmonies work, I'm not going to spend forever on it.

an example of the octatonic scale in action:

And if you like trolling in the forums, this one is entirely stolen from a thread...

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/8002

Another simple song about simple things...

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/8041

I may just reach 25 songs after all!

I know this is one of mine.. but Kritian is a magician and has made it sound super cool.. cheesy Robyn like pop!

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7803

would be interested to hear what people think!

Roel snuck in like an inverse thief in the night and posted a gorgeous demo. Had I not been obsessively checking for comments, I'd have missed it. Cunning, cunning...

Gerrybhoy's lovely demo is now up for the Celtic folk ballad

http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/8292

Finally got a demo up for my first 5090 song
http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/7559

I appear to have begun rather melancholy.
http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/8717

Well this seems to have turned into a bit of a "hello, listen to my song" thread, in part anyway, so i don't feel too guilty about this post.

I uploaded my original acoustic sketch recording of Waving Goodbye, For The Last Time on the song page, so in addition to my scratchy distorted demo, you can hear a cack-handed runthrough by me before i knew what i was doing with the tune.

Yay! I should have become a salesman...


PS - Nancy, i genuinely thought for a second that you said Stephen Wordsmith was inflatable.

It's only because I couldn't find the "Shameless self promotion thread" Wink

... that's every thread in my world Cool

Smokin' blues demo from T.C. Elliott is now up for

I've just uploaded a tune to go with @themiller's lyrics for "Demon".

Tis here: http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/songs/8994

... inflatable Stephen Wordsmith? THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE. SOMEHOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. ohmygod.
