May Album Writing Month (MAWM) 2014
May Album Writing Month anyone?
Feb, May, Aug, November is what I was thinking if we want to have 4 per year.
This gives equal spacing throughout the year and works on a simple 1 month on, 2 months off basis.

Re: May Album Writing Month (MAWM)
TBH I think we can relax the specifics, especially on numbers of tracks.
Didn't the Melvins release an LP called 6 songs?
Whatever really, it's just a way to spur people on to make a collection of music.

with those tracks you banged out.

I've got no issues with how long or short a period you take at all.
I'm not even going to ask for proof that they were made during May.

Well, for the record, I'm going to have a go at making one long "one track" ambient album, made up of various usual track-length tunes. I intend uploading and sharing each day's version so everyone can see how it progresses day to day.
If anything, it will serve as a very real example of how I usually work..which, I suspect, might be a little different ( in a very simple way) to most of you guys and girls on here.

Re: May Album Writing Month (MAWM)
Yeah..I'll give it a go, even though I'm pretty busy at the moment, with a few things cooking at the same time..but my original idea of one long album-sized ambient track should make for a nice break from the other stuff each day.

Re: May Album Writing Month (MAWM)
I wanted to start some prep work and sample some stuff from the mpc into Live, ready for recycling, instead I kept fapping around the mpc and building more patterns...
