**I've decided I'm going to give it a go, health permitting**

**Regarding collabs - I might do some, but I'm currently not writing standard form songs with the verse/chorus structure. If I do collab, it's more likely to be a project collab (EP or album) with a spoken word artist, possibly utilising the cut up technique, and more along the lines of the surreal / weird / erotic / bizarre (and I'm not really into songs about Facebook, Tik Tok, Elon Musk, or similar)**

Pronouns - he / him.

Songwriter / arranger from Sutton Coldfield in England.

Experimental music / cut ups / multi-genre. I mostly work with cut ups / spoken word these days, and have little interest in traditional song structure.

Recently diagnosed with autism.

I've been FAWMing and 50/90ing since 2012 (although I lost myself a bit after last year's FAWM, and I didn't take part in FAWM this year because I had a lot going on). Unsure if I'm taking part in 50/90 this year.

I mostly release stuff on Bandcamp (I have around 65 albums on there, in varying styles).

Musical loves - wide ranging, but I like the risk takers and the underdogs. And Hip Hop.
Ergo Phizmiz, James Hall, John Coltrane, Susy Blue, JPEGMAFIA, Sly Stone, jazz, classical, funk, some rock music, some pop music, bits and pieces of everything else.

(Oh, and apologies to anyone who I collaborated with for the planned 'Pete Murphy and Friends' spoken word album during FAWM 2022. When I contacted everyone about it after FAWM was over, less than half of the people responded and it impacted on my enthusiasm for the project).

Hey, just sent you an email. 😀
[avatar]
I’m open to an experimental collab. Take a look at my profile.
[avatar]
I'll get you some music ASAP.
Thanx so much for the mention in the recommendation thread!
[avatar]
It would be nice to do an album or EP, but I'm not sure if I'm up for that, as I tend to work on the spur of the moment with improvs, so I'm never really sure what's going to happen or when and so I wouldn't want to disappoint you. But yeah, let's definitely give it a go!
Maybe I could come up with some music or something in my usual style and you could do something over it? I dunno. Suggestions? Should we move this to email??
[avatar]
Thanks Pete, so glad you liked Paranoia and the message. Rock on
[avatar]
Definitely coming back to check out your stuff
[avatar]
It would be great to collab some time this summer, if you're willing.
No idea what we could do, but I'm sure it would be great.
I am up for literally anything you might want to do.
And thanks for the praise for "Dump"!
I am so glad you are continuing to enjoy it!
[avatar]
Thank you Pete for so beautifully tuning in. So glad to see your songs. You are creating brilliant compositions. I love listening to your voice. It has so much emotion and expression. Very powerful feel.
[avatar]
Hi Pete - you noticed! I wondered if anyone would!

Yeah, higher vocal register involved, lots of pushing with the diaphragm. Much more work, but feels good. Plus I switched from the usual dynamic mic (SM7B) to a condenser (Rode NT1-A). I think I need to do this more often. My voice needs to toughen up, I was getting lazy.
[avatar]
thank you Pete! wow! you have done loads!
[avatar]
Pete! You're here and producing! (Thanks for the comment on the choral BTW). I better jump in and have a lsiten before Other Things roll over me, again.
[avatar]
Thanks Pete for your always nice and encouraging comments.
[avatar]

Hi Pete, thank you. Have a great Summer.
[avatar]
Good to see you here, Pete. 😄
[avatar]
Always great to see you, Pete! 😊 The past couple of years have been dodgy for me as well on diverse levels. Yet we keep on truckin', eh? 😉
[avatar]
Onward it goes, Pete...
[avatar]
Hi there, Pete!
Have a wonderful summer, whether you participate here or not!
