Roughs
I spotted a conversation on Twitter about releasing demo of your music and it got me thinking about some work I did last year.
I had sat down with a friend and written a song, starting with four chords and a title then building it up, transposing, extending and editting. What I had also done was record everything from the first note to the completed song.
Then, some days later I thought I would edit it into a kind of audio documentary showing the birth of a song. But as my pal on twitter said, roughs are called roughs for a reason, so I deleted it all and have put the song aside for the next album, when I'll record it properly.
