this week’s new demo – that’s three for three!

this is called ‘walk with me’ – for now anyway…

Following on from last week’s block-breaking breakthrough, I’ve written and demoed another new song.

This one’s tentatively titled ‘first light’ and is more downbeat, less aggressive than the last one.

That’s two songs in two weeks. I’ll be pleased enough if I can maintain this rate, though I’d like to do more. More!!!

The last time I’d written a song by myself was in October last year, when I was still in Japan. Since coming home, I’ve been doing a fair bit of collaborating, remixing and playing live – but I’d been getting a little worried about the lack of new stuff of my own.

Several times I told myself I was going to sit down and write something – anything. But it never happened. And the longer it went on, the more difficult it seemed to get.

But today… I wrote a song!

It’s far from the best thing I’ve written: the lyrics are messy; it probably needs a vocal part on the bridge part – or a better bridge altogether; and if I’m to keep it, I obviously need to record it properly.

But I wrote something. Finally.

Hopefully, this will lead to more.

the lot

two releases of unreleased stuff…

in the summer of 2008, i attempted to write and record an album. i wrote and demoed a whole bunch of songs, but for various reasons, the project didn’t come together. a few of the tracks ended up on the wdiagsw compilation. three were re-worked and re-recorded for people person.

…and these are the remaining few:

  4. jump for more [download mp3]
  5. the feast [download mp3]
  6. piece of it [demo] [download mp3]

the other little thing is my own remix of ‘teardown’, which i didn’t include on the tearing down ep. i suppose i felt it was a bit lazy at the time. but hearing it now, for the first time in ages, completely out of context, i like it.

so here it is:

teardown [noiseball remix].mp3

and, well, that’s the lot.

those were the last couple of things i’d had hidden away.
every single song i’ve ever recorded has now been released in some form or another.

with the exception of a possible appearance of live recordings of my last gig in japan, from now on, any releases here will be brand spanking new.

i suppose i should start working on some…
