Hi All,
It's to inform you of a music-thon i'm doing. It's called FAWM which stands for February album writing month. It's a low-key affair you can read all about it at the website (linked @ right). The idea is to write an album in a month. So you start on the first of February and submit a 14 track cd on the 1st march. To put this in perspective i have maybe written 14 songs/pieces of music in the pass 4 years. So i will need to increase my songwriting productivity by about 3800%. Which is a bit. The objective is to get all us musician bums, off our bums and work hard at 'the craft' for four weeks. Naturally i will blog extensively on the songwriting, i may even song write extensively on the blogging if things get very bad.
I will keep a daily blog on the songwriting process and post the results at my myspace account at regular intervals. It would be great if you could tune in. It's a bit like turning up to watch someone finish a marathon. It mightn't look or sound pretty, there will probably be a whole lotta hurtin' but the support is appreciated. Heck you might even learn about what not to do while writing music. I'll do my best to preserve the integrity of your ears.
Thanks to Alan for bringing this great gimmick to my attention.
Be good,
Gav.

hey, this 'inter-net web-logging' is very new to me but here i am and boy, its a rollercoaster ride so far. glad to be back in the zone now. i really am gav. i had forgotten how great your old pieces are....somnambulance and magdalena are fantastic. shit especially the former. so happy, summer, ease, great guitar mix, accordian reminds me of life's simple pleasures. why called so? same name as arvo part's concept he applies to his music.....
anyway this new paper man. i find every time i hear your voice is gets more and more polished. very original, a synergy of every voice you've experimented with. good song.
Hey paul. Cheers for the comment. I dunno why sonambulance, i was thinking of something to describe a sleepy state of happy contentedness it's not quite the word, but it sounds like it should be.
Thanks for the comment. Will do my best for FAWM. Only 4 days to go.
