Today I interviewed a lovely songwriting duo, Cubinoid (AKA Ben) and Tixia who go by the name of ‘Moth’. I came across their stuff because of my own interest in all things steampunk (I have a steampunk inspired album you know…) 1. When did you start writing songs? What kind of musical education have you had? Cubinoid: [...] This week I exchanged a few emails with a singer-songwriter named Shannon Hurley. She recently moved from LA to Nashville, and as a consequence her songwriting became less country. I know, that sounds counterintuitive. I’ll let her explain: Shannon: My songwriting changed in the most unexpected way. Instead of wanting to fit into the country [...] In my last newsletter (which you can recieve by entering your email into the ‘join the mailing list’ box on the right of the screen) I asked if anyone else on my mailing list was taking part in the 50/90 songwriting challenge. One of the people who emailed in reply was Jeff Charreaux of the [...] It’s that time of year again – we’re coming up to February. If you haven’t tried it yet, I urge you to have a go at February Album Writing Month, or Fawm. What’s that? The Fawm challenge is to write 14 songs during the month of February, and (if you want to) post your lyrics and recordings [...] Erik Didriksen’s FAWM profile begins thus: Erik Didriksen originally began his songwriting career writing awful minute-long compositions in a demo version of Fruity Loops. The first song he wrote worth listening to was written about a year later about a girl who, to this day, can’t stand him. (If she ever heard it, her opinion might [...] Very possibly the last interview this, what with Christmas coming up to steal my time away. Heres an interesting interview with a chap named Evin. He also has a website, here. 1. 50 songs – did you have a system for finishing? I sure didn’t, and it shows. I finished [drumroll!] 4 songs in 90 days. Compare [...] This interview was conducted a few weeks back with Helen’s Evil Twin, a songwriter who completed the 50/90 challenge with room to spare. You can find her on myspace here. 1. 50 songs – did you have a system for finishing? Not really. Originally, I intended to do an album in a day early on, and [...] This interview is with Rose Deschamps, a singer-songwriter from New Zealand. You can find her website here and her myspace here. 1. 50 songs – did you have a system for finishing? There are a few more post 50/90 songwriting interviews to publish, after which I’m going to draw some conclusions and compile a big list of ideas to steal. This one is with the lovely Mike Skliar 1. 50 songs – did you have a system for finishing? Not exactly. I had completed two FAWM challenges (14 songs in [...] Another post 50/90 interview. This one is with Meg who has a website here. 1. 50 songs – did you have a system for finishing? My system was pretty simple: work, work, work. I took any and every experience I possibly could and turned it into lyrics during every spare moment – some of my best ideas [...] |
