FAWM: February Album Writing Month

Tomorrow will mark the start of the February Album Writing Month (FAWM), a challenge first initiated in 2005, in which participating ‘fawmers’ must complete 14 songs in 28 days. Songs constitute “Pop songs, instrumentals, “sound art,” whatever. The goal is to be challenged, build community, and have fun… by whatever musical means.” There is also a thriving community of fawmers who also post demos and lyrics for their songs, collaborate, and talk music with each other.

Whether you decide to go for it or not, checking out the website and participants’ songs (available on fawmpilations) offers much in the way of creative musical inspiration.

Go check out FAWM!
