Sleep in the temple by american caesar

american caesar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:29:23 -0800

I recorded my first band. ( Nessie James & The Unknowns) Was my first paid studio gig time. This is the 2nd mix of sorts. Still more to add.

Demo for a song about my neighborhood here in Los Angeles...with mouth trumpet!

snake (demo) by edlundart

edlundart — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:06:39 -0800

Another entry in my recent demo series of posts. I posted a not-quite-done version of the track here, featuring piano and overly heavy drums. It's a song about the old classic video game "Snake". I'm sure I'll revisit the "proper" recording some day, but in the meantime, this is a nice performance.

come careening (demo) by edlundart

edlundart — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:13:42 -0800

This is the demo I recorded for this song posted earlier. I slapped some kind of distortion effect over it to approximate the feel I wanted in the final version. Although it's too hazy-sounding and the vocals are nearly unintelligble, I really love a lot of things about this recording. It sounds like some kind of important uncovered secret to me. Anyway, this post is part of an "evolution of my songs" series I started here and here.

the vase (demo) by edlundart

edlundart — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 22:35:54 -0800

As a follow-up to this post, here is the demo I recorded for the song I posted a long time ago here. As before, the idea is to share something about the evolution of my songs for anyone who might care.

undulate underling (demo) by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:01:35 -0800

A demo that I later recorded and posted here. I'm posting this as a contribution along the lines of what others have done before me -- providing a window into my songwriting. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if some prefer this version.

Not Nice by chococat

chococat — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:51:06 -0800

Another from the waste-bin of demos that never went anywhere. Gauging from the effects unit, I'd say 1996; at least pre-1997.

Money (not a Pink Floyd cover) by flapjax at midnite

flapjax at midnite — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:10:43 -0800

Hey, times are tough, money is tight, and posting Hallelujah to Mefi Music sure ain't gonna pay no bills. So, lately I've been putting together a demo, with an eye toward getting a little voiceover work. Here's an outtake...

Syllogismobile (demo) by doubtfulpalace

Transuniversal love story.

The Magazines of the Modern World (Demo) by Ironmouth

This is a demo of a song I wrote for my band.

Inauguration Day by ageispolis

ageispolis — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:08:05 -0800

A simple ambient pop song I wrote and recorded today with my organ, Macbook Mic, and some instruments lying around the house.

if only you had waited by chococat

chococat — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:57:39 -0800

Weird demo. Probably 10 years old. Releasing it to the ether; good riddance.

I Know by chillmost

chillmost — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 13:29:08 -0800

A little something I whipped up. It's about the town I live in called Lüneburg.

i will (radiohead cover) by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 22:13:02 -0800

Spur-of-the-moment lo-fi live cover of the Radiohead song off Hail to the Thief, to which I added a couple of equally rough overdubs and some reverb. The guitar is out of tune and poorly played, but the vocal melody tweaks are kind of fun.

demo/demonstration

Boots of Righteous Fortitude by dobie

dobie — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 22:50:44 -0800

A song about tough love and looking in the mirror to face reality.

What About Tonight by chococat

You won't care tomorrow.

The Ballad of Daisy and Jay by kingbenny

kingbenny — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:35:25 -0800

I've always loved The Great Gatsby - it, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, have some significance here in Minnesota. I tried to get some personal elements into the characters for this.

Things I Used to Know (demo) by ludwig_van

"Our minds are permeable to forgetfulness; I myself am distorting and losing, through the tragic erosion of the years, the features of Beatriz." -- Jorge Luis Borges

Spider Song by motty

motty — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 07:18:31 -0800

A demo recorded in a hurry.

The Last Time I Saw Moscow by escabeche

escabeche — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 21:10:38 -0800

A very lo-fi one-take recording by The Grandma Sylvias. Acoustic guitar and vocals only; all apparent distortion is coming from knobs turned very high.

Ambient Evil by disaster77

disaster77 — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:45:13 -0800

My husband and I are writing and playing music together. We're just starting to do some recording. Here's one of our first attempts.

Storyline by txsebastien

txsebastien — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 23:33:48 -0800

A song about friendship.

Alone by InfidelZombie

InfidelZombie — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 09:49:20 -0800

A song of loneliness and betrayal - sounds fun, right?

Out of It (singalong demo) by frenetic

frenetic — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 07:48:21 -0800

This is the title track for my next album and I need some backup vocals!
