I'm Edwin, I live in a rural area in Surrey, England. I've been writing a song a week for now, I love songwriting! I have written songs in pop, rock, jazz, electronica and folk styles.
I am chief assistant flunky of the London Songwriters Second Sunday meetup, which happen guess what on the second Sunday of every month -- all songwriters very welcome: http://www.meetup.com/LondonSongwriters/
I am also a big fan of http://www.uksongswritingfestival.com which runs for a week every August in Bath Spa.
At February Album Writing Month (FAWM) in 2010 I was aiming to write arty, poetic, textural riffy songs which are quite the opposite of my normal more literal, carefully crafted stuff. This was inspired by the Brian Eno quote: "What matters in modern music is not the part you can write down, the words and the tune, but the rest -- the texture, the atmosphere, the references and associations" ...
Finally, I have a secret prog-rock identity as infrawild, the new album un- is out now and is played entirely on bass guitar, a futuristic-neolithic concept album that sounds a lot better than you'd think ...
