BIO:

I had a grand concept for this year, back at the end of February, but now the time is nearly upon us, I've gone off it a bit. I think I'll just see what comes out, instead...

Here's some stuff.
Plots & Plans is the EP that I made out of last year's best 50/90 stuff: http://vomvorton.bandcamp.com
Hide & Seek is the album that I made this February: http://www.upyourlegsforever.com/uylf/releases/uylf009

19/07: I'm struggling for time, as I'm house-hunting and all manner of other busy stuff at the moment. Not getting nearly as much time as I would like for recording / listening, so apologies to everyone else, especially people I am trying to collaborate with! Think this will probably be the case throughout 50/90 (I'm moving house at the end of August) but I will keep trying to get back here whenever I have a free moment.

03/08: I've got two new songs mostly written but it's too hot to sit at the computer and record them! "Ticking Boxes" and "The First Day Back" will be on the way if / when the temperature drops...

17/08: House move imminent, time without internet inevitable. Still hoping to get one or two songs posted before I dismantle my PC and ship it up the A6...

23/08: All of my instruments are now in the new house, but my "recording studio" (PC) is still at the old house. I've got another lyric written ("Dennis") but will wait to post until I've had a chance to demo it... there's another one in the works, too, and I think they'll both turn out really well! :)

30/08: House-move COMPLETE. But no internet until 21st September... eek! Hopefully there will be a small flurry of songs to post when I'm back online.

13/09: OK, internet installation has now been put back to 7th October. Looks like that's all from me :(

Songs: 19 ( + = Songs posted by a different Songwriter that you Collaborated on.)

Hello!

You're welcome! I'm coming down with a cold at the moment too, which is annoying - my second sore throat this 50/90!

For the vague collab concepts I put forward, would you mind if I developed one of them? Then maybe we'll save the QL idea for FAWM :-)

No awesome collab this 50/90 then? Oh the horror!

Did you choose the washing machine based on that, or was it just a happy coincidence?

By the way, I played Chevrons live for the first time last night - it was me on acoustic and vocals, with a bassist and percussionist just using tambourine. It worked pretty well as an acoustic rock song, although I did have to sing the synth part.

Re Cold Showers : oh I see. It's not obvious, I would never guess there's something unintended in there. I trust you, it will shine :)
And thank you so much for your comment :)

Oh, I have been listening to Hide & Seek all morning - love it! I wish very much to collab with you, if you had the time. Ah well! But definitely I love listening to your songs, and want to thank you for your comments on my songs, as well. :)

Your "musical nonsense" is second to none ;)
And I like that you "ruin" your tracks by singing about robots over the top! And I would gladly trade my seven hands (if I had them) for "lefty" and "righty".

'fraid not my friend, I think were actually leaving shortly after we play but we are leaving in about an hour so we will be there for most of the day... shame.... I was looking forward to the hidden cameras!

Hey Tom, I've been a bit of a slow starter this year with holidays and touring I've had about 3 days off since the start of this.... anyway, I just remembered I'll probably (hopefully) see you tomorrow at Indiertacks, so I'm burning (at last) the albums I promised in february...such is the mind and memory of a routineless existence... sorry and looking forward to meeting you! Cider is on me ma man!!!

Ah right, figured that might be the case. Can you not listen to the song yet though? Should be working.

Hundred Years War

Album project is here https://jaconsterdine.wordpress.com/

Basically it's an attempt to spend some serious time on one set of songs (started writing in December) for the first time ever. The result of this is rather predictably that I'm entirely bored of them all but am trying to keep going and edge towards the finish :-)

In the meantime, 5090 should cover off my need to write, record and instantly publish songs before I start to dislike them.

Hello mate, guess who...

Bored of trying to record this album so thought some sombre sounding hastily recorded acoustica would perhaps help.

You're too kind, thanks for your priceless support :)

Thanks, Vom! I challenge you to write a song using only words generated in a scrabble game! Or...perhaps you have done that already? MUZJIKS and MEZQUIT, man...not to mention QUIXOTRY... :)

Joanne Gabriel

I often doubt when I start recording with a new instrument or try new things, but your comments always make me feel glad I've posted a song. Thanks a lot Sir :)
Btw, we've been talking about a collab for years, would this 5090 be the opportunity to do it?

I'm so glad someone commented on the mariachi band, that's my favourite line :-)

I've added a tag to "you've only got corned beef" as per Chasing Andromeda's suggestion - hope that's OK!

Thanks for your comments! It was just the reverb, no time for extra tracks :-)

Will be in touch soon about our collab...

Hey man, you on board? Grand.

orinoco

Not yet, I'm afraid. We've not been gigging much recently due to real-life pressures, and as a result we've not done much practice or learnt any new songs! It's still on the list, though. Did you try and make it work solo?

orinoco

Hello! Fancy another collab at some point this summer?
