My music is #instrumental and #electronic (as in, made on a computer, not as in EDM), and has a touch of #classical music. I took #keyboards lessons as a kid, and my favorite instruments (by sound) are #piano and #drums, and I often do #happy upbeat stuff.

I see FAWM as a personal challenge. My first FAWM was 2018.

Are you a vocalist and want me to try adding instruments to your vocal track? Drop me a message.

Hello! Hope you have a great FAWM 2026. Just wanted to say that in the forum about the song starting process, you had a great idea for a challenge. #reverse-order. Would you mind if I start a thread for a #reverse-order challenge in the forums, or would you prefer to do that yourself, since it's your idea?

Oh, I just saw that you already posted this as a challenge. Great! Thanks.

Hi Audrey! I had the same conclusion after posting, so I started the thread already. If you look up the tag you'll find it :) Hope cool songs get out of it! :)

Welcome Erik! Saw your post on the Queer FAWMers track. Another gay guy here, and vocalist. I'm wracking up the collabs, but if you want me to see if I can put a vocal on something, let me know.

Hi @beacon ! Well, that sounds exciting! I'd like to experiment a bit this year, and doing collabs is certainly an experiment for me. I have very little experience with that, but this is the time to learn, so let's see what comes out. There are different ways to approach this (instrumentate a lyric, or sing over an instrumental, or a mix. Maybe a mix is the most fun?) I do think I need some kind of guidance as to how all of this works though. What works for communication?

@beacon 1d

Erik, Given everything what I would say is that if you put together something instrumental and think "Some vocals would go great on here" I could look at it and come up with something. No pressure.
