FAWM 2011 by ZeCoop
These are song demos that I wrote and recorded in my home studio for February Album Writing Month (FAWM.org) 2011. FAWM is an online challenge to write 14 new songs in February.
After telling my dad, back in January, that I was going to do this he started sending me lyrics. He had never written lyrics and doesn't play an instrument, so this was very unexpected. I decided to write songs with my dad's lyrics for FAWM 2011.
13 of the 15 songs were collaborations with my dad and I ended up doing one song completely on my own. I'd look at all my dad's lyrics, play guitar and figure out something that matched one and then I added or subtracted to the lyrics and wrote a song to go along with them. We both had a great time. :)
I also collaborated on one song with author/lyricist Mark Berry, for a companion song for one of his books.

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
