For my backstage Dragons… I’m sharing yesterday’s progress on a new song that welcomes in the darkness of the enemies and fears within.
If you’re not familiar with what a demo is, it’s essentially the shape of a song – a proof of concept. My voice stands in for all the instruments including drums. They will be switched out in the final mix.
The demo takes about a day to make. The final mix is usually months in the making.
P.S. I’m off to get a tattoo of a seven-pointed star today, the Easter nestled between a lunar eclipse and a solar one. Wish me luck.
P.P.S. I’ll be in Austin for aforementioned eclipse. Holler if you hear of any good events. I’m going to see Krista Tippet of On Being, David Byrne of The Talking Heads, and a slew of others at the Waterloo Greenway. It’s also streaming online if you can’t make it in person. Hope to see you there!
