about

This is a collection of all the extant demos for six of the eight songs from my recent album "Songs For An Activist". The demos span an eight month period (September, 2019-May, 2020) and have slightly differing arrangements to the final album versions. The sound quality will vary from time to time but I hope it will not detract from the listening enjoyment. In closing, instead of following the track sequencing of the album, I thought it would be best to sequence the demos in chronological order as it would be easier to chart their development.

I hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes peek at the songwriting and recording process.
