[Kylan's Blog] February: A Month of Music

A few days ago I wrote about joining the RPM Challenge, a project where Jaron and I will record a ten-song album over the course of next month. Today I signed up for another complimentary project called FAWM, the 5th annual February Album Writing Month. For this endeavor, I will try to write 14.5 songs during February 2008.  (The half song comes from collaborating with someone else, and is included in the project because the idea is to write one song for every two days.)  My strategy will be to record my FAWM songs for RPM. If Jaron decides to join FAWM as well, we will have a larger 'songbook' to draw from as we record.

One of the things I like about FAWM is the way participants are encouraged to provide feedback on other artists' songs. Also, I like the fact that the project has a weekly theme that participants are encouraged to follow. For instance, last year one challenge was to title a song after a street name.

It going to be a melodic month! Check the DupyBlog for lyrics, and watch the DupyCast for recordings.
