Hi there from Germany! 👋

A cis him, born 1981, I work as a software developer and have been making music as a hobby all my life. I play the classical guitar, but make most music on the computer.

2024 will be my second FAWM & 50/90, I started in 2022. FAWM helped me break my overthinking and now keeps me coming back for new ideas and collaborations.

If you'd like to do something together, or redo/cover something from me, just post me a message. Don't hesitate to turn me away if I offer you a demo and you don't like what you hear - no hard feelings, promise. 🙂

Feel free to criticize anything about my songs. As a non-native speaker, I especially invite you to play grammar police. 😅

When I comment one of your songs, I have listened to it completely, at least once, more probably several times over. (Yes, even if it is long.) No need to return the comment or say thanks - I enjoy listening to your things and will keep on doing that without reciprocal notes. 😉

Outside, you'll usually find me on https://www.musesongwriters.com and https://recording.de.

@kahlo2013 1w

Thank you for your comments. Totally agree!

@squirrelhavenstudios 2w

Thanks for listening to and commenting on Country Music Big-Shot. I'd never hear of There I Ruined It before, but their bro-country parody was hilariously minimalist and I loved it. I also enjoyed hearing Kermit the Frog sing Gin and Juice. So thanks for the link!

@edward9thstreet 2w

Thx for the comments Florian. I appreciate it. The tracks of yours I've heard sound great!

@jeff9 2w

Hey, thanks for the encouraging words, Florian. Means a lot coming from an artist like yourself.

@sunfire 2w

Hi, Thanks for your comments on What's Out There. You inspired me to change that line in question. I hope it makes more sense now.

@mace66 3w

Thanks for the comment on 'The Emperor's New Clothes' - I'm a very much a 'freedom of speech' type of person, but the internet shows the dangers of no regulation at all - it's like William Golding's 'Lord of the Flies'

@robcrusade 3w

thx for the comments! 99% of the things on here I post end abruptly. I know how to, I'm just lazy. :( One or two will be revisited, polished, and such.

re: the lyrics- I suppose I could try to remember it all, but... lazy ( actually, busy... but I find people believe lazy easier) and "SOC" stands for "stream of consciousness". I just hit record and go, so there's no consistency, forced rhymes and stuff.

I just thought I would try to just put down the vocal. I had a general idea of the tune as I was writing it, and I felt kinda confident, so... yeah.

Thanks for listening!

@headfirstonlyMod 3w

Thanks for the link. Cool article! Further reinfirces my opinion of Andrew Tate and his ilk that they're just pathetic, macho dimwits.

@cbmagic 3w

Are you registered with ASCAP yet and if so what is your name used there?

@essahumans 4w

Hey Flo,

Hope you are having great days, full of positivity :)

Recently i wrote that piece inspired by 2d fantasy rpg game, and was wondering if it may inspire your musical creativity to come up with something unique

The piece title:
"A boy, made up of worlds"

Let me know your thoughts

@cbmagic 4w

Hi Florian, I have used your music in "In the Shadows" and lowered the pitch and I performed the song. Let me know what you think. https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/songs/298864

@musicsongwriter 5w

Oh, that's sweet. Thank you. I've just sent you my message using the email address I had from FAWM.

@musicsongwriter 5w

Hi Florian, first of, so sorry for your name's misspelling. I was using my mobile phone and it corrects words without me realizing it. Just corrected :)

Thank you so much for your gorgeous comment on Find Your Meditation. Wow, you listened so many times! I'm honoured. Would you be happy to collaborate with me on this piece? I can amend my liner notes and send you the file if you are interested. Please let me know. Sorry though if I misunderstood you. Please see what works with you :)

@musicsongwriter 5w

Hi Florian, thank you for your gorgeous comments. I would love to collaborate with you if you are happy to.

@kahlo2013 5w

Whoa! Feel the Heat! I love it!! That will be hot and fun! Please post when you are ready and thanks again for the no lemon no melon duet!!!!! Much appreciated!

@kahlo2013 5w

Florian! I really love your take on stressed desserts - I could not get your SoundCloud link to work while I was traveling so just heard it now! Fabulous! I added you as a collaborator and would love it if you could post the link for the song. I tried to copy and paste it but it would not let me.

@odilongreen 5w

I've got to disagree; I find Eric Prydz' Call on Me to be pretty darn cool & energizing!

We can still be friends though! ;)

@cindyrella 7w

Haha 😂

@arcane 7w

Thank you very much for listening, and for your kind comment.
It's not a violin that I mistreated, but a guitar. 😀

@didib 7w

You are most welcome Florian, your wonderful lyrics stuck in my head and I really enjoyed setting them to music and singing them! Thank you! 😁

@essahumans 8w

Flo, you have surprised me, I am so grateful, you are truly great person, and i personally consider you a dear friend :)

Keep inspiring
Essa

@cbmagic 8w

Look at https://www.tunecore.com/sell-your-music. What ever music we collaborate on we can split. Once we set up an account.
Its worth a try, if you wish to do so.

@cbmagic 8w

Take a look at this song: https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/songs/299078
And let me know if you can do anything with it. Thank you.

@cbmagic 8w

I did not receive your email. My email address it carlcrosby60@gmail.com

@cbmagic 8w

can you contact me on FB or my email please. Carlcrosby60@gmail.com. I love what you did with the song. Now lets see what we can do for the next step. I have a couple that I would love for you to write the music to if you are willing.
Thank you
Carl

Florian, I sent you some mail.

@musicsongwriter 9w

I crown you the king of comments. What a gorgeous comment, Florian! Thank you so much for listening and giving such a beautiful feedback!

@tjeff 9w

Hi Florian - thanks for the heads-up on my demo for the recent skirmish. I exported it wrong and that's why it cut off - gonna fix. Much appreciated!

@andrea 9w

Hi Florian, I just sent you an email with lyrics :) I hope you like them!

@kahlo2013 9w

Florian, it would be great if you wanted to do Feel The Heat… I marked it for you!
The one thing I thought about was using the OUTRO also a bridge … so doing some feel the heat lines then the Chorus again followed by the OUTRO… but it depends on the music you want to do and how it flows for you… I trust your brilliant musical sensibility … so whatever works for you would be great!!!

@andrea 9w

Thank you. I'm making good progress, and now it will be easier!

@kc_ 9w

Hey Florian! thanks for your messasge... Would love the Prog Rock Opera!! LoL! I will have a listen to the other tune... You are crushing it this season!

@andrea 9w

You are on fire this 50/90. I have an idea for the Disney track. I will work on it this weekend :)

@mahtowin 9w

Danke fürs anhören und kommentieren von „Walking on the moon“. Mich hat die feine Basslinie und die Atmo mehr an den gleichnamigen Song von The Police erinnert.

@intoyourlight 9w

Thank you ❤️ :)

@scubed 10w

Thanks so much for your kind comment on "Picture-Perfect"!

@paul_pedersen 10w

True enough - your email came through, but I missed seeing it. It came in at 2:44 in the morning in my time zone, 44 minutes after my usual bed time. I guess I was bleary-eyed in the morning and missed it.

@paul_pedersen 10w

Hi Florian - I emailed you a couple of postcard images to choose from for the post card challenge. I haven't seen a reply, so I suspect my message may have gone into your junk mail folder. Let me know if you find it or if I should send it again.

@complexissimple 10w

I'd love to hear my Google Translate lyrics sung by your AI vocalist! That sounds so fun!

@jamkar 10w

Thanks for commenting favorably on my Fog Bank. I would be interested in a collaboration during 50/90.

@sunfire 10w

Hey, Florian - Thanks for your remarks on Vega$. Kind of had a RATT vibe in my head, but certainly open to other musical visions if you or anyone is moved to make music. Yes, on the dice roll. lol

@kahlo2013 10w

Hey we are paired for a random collab! This time we have to make it work! I failed miserably trying to write lyrics for your music - could I write lyrics for you to put music to? If so, is there a theme, topic, prompt, and/or genre that I can write to or that I should avoid?
