Ceint de ma propre couronne, oint de l'huile sainte, I am freshspotlessyouth.

FAQS:
What's your problem? Good question. I've been doing this FAWM thing for over a decade without bothering to learn anything. My watchwords for 2025: ignorance, incompetence, and hubris (though not necessarily in that order).

How do you feel about collaborating? I've done a number of fruitful collabs over the years. I will collaborate with anyone who can tolerate my louche approach to music making.

What's up with the locked songs? Nothing, really. I got a little weird about things. I'll be back for the last week of FAWM after a long vacation in Mexico. Should have soft fingers and an open heart.

I'm happy Cage is honored twice. Yeah, I'm fine. Funny how the background noise and such can set the tone. I could have tried to have a party going on instead of me bumping into stuff and shuffling around.

@wizardofarc 1d

Thank you for your comment on ‘Tu me manques’

@vomvorton 1d

When I say The City, I guess I mean A City. But from my perspective, it is The City. I think.

@clenig17 3d

Thank you for the comments on “Dark Frieght”! It is actually growing on me if you can believe that🤣 We give birth to these creations and then have to distance ourselves for perspective. There are some interesting Easter eggs in this composition. I kind of top my hat to my most influential prog roots. There is a composer on here who should know but I am waiting to see if he catches it😬

@heid 5d

My goodness, I also didn't process that you're in Portland and so am I.

I'm here till June. I'd love to have coffee or tea and swap some stories before then, if you'd also like.

Enjoy your vacation!

@sirius 1w

Catcore is unpredictable by essence. I thought you knew. 😄
Thank you for your comments!

@chill4matt 1w

I read that you were going to Mexico. The Sea of Cortez sounds amazing! I hope you're enjoying yourself!!

@mahtowin 2w

Just listened! It‘s wonderful!
Enjoy your vacation!

@newukenewyork 2w

I was glad to receive your comment on "Ask Me How I Know" -- I was definitely revising trying to hit something other than "preachy."

@billwhite51 2w

push button girl is not about a real person. i just wanted to write a real stupid song that wasnt embarrassing to play.

@mahtowin 2w

😊

@mahtowin 2w

Absolutly! Go for it, curious about your song!

@mahtowin 2w

Yes, please! Your Flap,flap,flap song is still in my ears - I loved it so much!

@odilongreen 2w

Oh no... why are all your songs locked?!? I'm sure you have a good reason, but I'm such of a fan of your music, and very much hope you open them up again soon!

@nancycunning 2w

Hey, Danny - SoundCloud served up your 2022 song In the Beginning to me. It feels like a great "Welcome Home" for my first day of trying to get a song out there. Thank you!

@vomvorton 2w

Yeah I was working on buying a new house last FAWM, first visited the place I now live during last year's challenge! Moved in at the end of June, and commenced filling it with musical crap.

New Vowl Sounds would be good! Hopefully I can come up with something worthy.

@billwhite51 3w

i returned to hollywood for a month in 89, after the hair metal kids replaced the punks. it was disorienting to see them hanging around outside the roxy, all glammed up

@chill4matt 3w

I think you were listening to Rippling Foils, which is a preset from the Omnisphere VST. It just had a nice ambience, so I stuck that in there. :)

@cowboydick 3w

Hey, FSY ... welcome back (again). Hoping to be a more active FAWMer this year. Looking forward to hearing your songs, as usual.

The wife tends to be the instigator

@coolparadisoMod 3w

Well I am homeless sort of, travelling around inland Aus, inspirational for me but less time to be inspirational to others. Hope you can sneak a few songs in!

@cloudboy 3w

Danny! Back and looking forward to maybe a bad song club collab again?!

@mahtowin 3w

Hey Danny! Have a great FAWM! Looking forward to your great songs and lyrics!

@scottmcb 3w

Hey-o! I always enjoy your tunes.

@odilongreen 3w

As you well know, I am a *huge* fan of your music, so I'm very much looking forward to what you do this FAWM. In fact, why wait? I think I'll spend some time with your Soundcloud over the next few days to get inspired. 😀 (On that note, it appears both Soundcloud links above go to the identical page; is that intentional?)
