What Is FAWM And Why It’s Important?
If you’ve never heard of February Album Writing Month before, there’s no better time to dip your toes into the mildy addictive - music-making merry-go-round that takes place on the FAWM website. I wonder if, perhaps, in 20 years people will talk about FAWM in the same way they do about those who take an annual dip in the freezing waters of the North Sea, and annual cheese rollers.

… And here’s the finished assemble.
1. Long blue shotgun is the “front” mid microphone
2. Microphone on top is the figure8 “side” microphone (front and rear stereo)
3. Microphone at the bottom is cardioid “rear” microphone (left/right rear surround)
In class today - assembling a Schoeps DMS (Double Mid Side) setup. The big round of applause when the assemble was finally finished was genuine!
There Is A Field: Part 1 on Radio Drama Revival
Thanks so much to Richard Summers and the Radio Drama Revival crew for persevering, and really surveying the issues that surround a subject.
Radio Drama Revival: Episode 261 - There Is A Field, Part I aired last Friday, featuring an interview with playwright Jen Marlowe and also Aseel’s younger sister, Siwar. I’ve not heard the interviews yet myself so can’t wait to listen. Part II will air this coming Friday (I think) with a few words from me, so look out for it. I hope you enjoy Part I. If you have any comments or thoughts, send them this way or to the Radio Drama Revival website.
If you’re wondering what There Is A Field is exactly, read the info card below for more information - and check out the Radio Drama Revival podcast.

A write up on a 2009 FAWM collaboration. Great to see this song getting a little love in the press - see: sometimes it takes people three years to catch on to the good stuff.
This is such a great collaboration, between Michael Gutierrez-May, Sapient and myself.
Awesome news! Radio Drama Revival have put up a great review of There Is A Field on their podcast page. Tune in from 2 mins 50 secs. I’ll post again when the podcast date has been confirmed.
Only a few days left to catch There Is A Field playing out live on Audiobook Radio. Every day for the remainder of this week at 2.17 am / pm and 8.17 am / pm.
If you managed to listen in, let me know what you think of it.
Putting aside Twitter’s largely-indifferent response to PJ Harvey’s Let England Shake winning the 2011 Mercury Music Prize, I wondered if this win might encourage other musicians to focus their lenses outward?
I don’t know if Harvey herself references it, I get a huge sense of Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and her Children from that album.

Curating Everything: Track20
Fever
In that time-honoured fashion of coming “full circle”, the final offering in the Curating Everything series is in fact the oldest song on the collection, Fever. When did I write this song…? Gotta be about 2002-3. This started out as a really hippy-ish heavy drone played with footstomps and banging pots and pans,
