Early Prep

Hello Friends,  I was having a conversation with a fellow songwriter a couple of weeks ago, and he has started preparing for the upcoming FAWM friendly challenge. He is thinking of using AI as a collaborator with lyrics, which is actually a really neat idea. I on the other hand am thinking about the physical tech that I want to use during recording. I have always been a fan of DIY (Do-It-Yourself) recordings, and I find the restraints to actually be very helpful in fueling creativity. I tried to participate in FAWM earlier this year, I didn’t get far, but what I did get is an idea of how to approach the 2025. I took an older laptop that I had, installed Linux on it, was using Audacity as the main software to record the input. I still have that machine, and I think I will use it for this next FAWM as well. Its going to be pretty cool, I have not decided if I too want to experiment with having an AI co-creator or not, but I’m a fan of the idea of using tools to help you make things b...

FAWM 2025

Image
I am so excited everyone. FAWM (February Album Writing Month) is one of my favorite song-writing events on the year. I know its a little early, but that's just how excited I am about it happening, also many of my local musician friends are already pre-ping for it, so I may actually be a bit behind. If you are not familiar with what it is, every February musicians and songwriters from all over the globe participate in this fun creative project. The idea is to write 14 new pieces in the 28 days of February. These could be lyrics, could be musical pieces, could be full on songs. Its super cool. Its free to create an account and participate at fawm.org. You can collaborate with other artists on the platform, and get to hear what everyone is making. It is a Muse Magnet! and everyone is just so loving and supportive of each other.  It has been a while since I fully participated, and I'm super excited to say that I intend to fully participate this coming year, to create 14 new songs, ...

Blue for Sudan.

Image
It is difficult, very difficult, and I'm sure many of my Sudanese diaspora around the world feel like I do. My beloved Sudan is going through some extraordinary changes, and unfortunately it has brought forth many lost lives, and even more instability in my beautiful home-land. Being a foreigner in a foreign land, it feels..odd, and powerless, knowing that all I can do is re-tweet, or write blog posts about the situation there, while many are fighting for their lives, for the soul and future of our country, and ergo for me. Saying "Shukran (Thank You)" is not enough, saying "I love you" is not enough, saying anything is not enough, but saying nothing is unacceptable. When I started my musical journey many years ago, I had made a decision, it was to not sing political songs. I wanted to be a prototype, not a stereotype. The main reason for that was, to sing to my Western audience songs that they would relate to, songs about love, about heart-break, about....
