A bunch of my demos for your listening pleasure

[GordyR]

Hi all,

Some of you may remember that a few years back I was picked up by some quite big names in the music industry. I was hoping, as they were that I would break through and large a large recording deal with a major label. That never happened and here I am a few years down the line is a good, well paid, steady job.

I was going back through some of my songs this morning and decided that there was no point having them all here at home collecting dust and figured it would be worth sharing them.

Below is a collection of demos that I recorded in my mini home studio. Unfortunately I cant give you access to the mastered studio versions of many of these songs as I am technically still under a management contract that prohibits me from distributing that material.

Some of these are half finished or just little snippets of songs but hopefully you will find them interesting. If people like them I may upload more, I have literally hundreds.

ALso worth pointing out is that my styles were very diverse so if the first couple of songs aren't the kind of thing you are in to then it's still worth checking out the others. There was always a huge variation in what I wrote and created.

Anyway, here they are (In no particular order)... I hope you enjoy them!

I'm pleasantly surprised, listened to a couple of them and they're bloody good!!

Thanks

Haven't listened to them (yet) but what did you use to record them [into]? Software/Hardware wise.

A PC with an M-Audio Delta 66 coupled with the Omni studio breakout box, A bunch of microphones and a midi keyboard. Nothing too special!

 

[GordyR]

Wow, fantastic!

really like them, Don't know why but sounds like David Bowie a bit.

look forward to hearing more!

Thanks... A lot of people say that. I guess it's because I have a quirky voice and tend to go for quirkyish chord structures and melodies. Quite a compliment IMO. Cheers!

 

[GordyR]

Thanks guys, glad you liked them

I'd prefer to see you naked.

LOL!

I have been known to do requests in the past...

 

[GordyR]

Bloody hell they are really good, you thought about releasing a digital distributed album yourself via your own website/iTunes etc ?, how are you promoting yourself ?

I'm not promoting myself at all. As sad as it makes me all of this is behind me now. I'm in a very demanding but well paid job and just don't have the time any longer. It's a shame as music is my true love but hey... Reality check.

Gordy, added you on MSN (if you on it) / sent you email.


Some are excellent.

Don't really use it mate... My email is [email protected] if you want to forward the email that way as I don't think the one on here is correct any longer.
