Demos on the way...

As my nascent CD project advances with the pace of an asthmatic ant with some heavy shopping (to paraphrase Blackadder Goes Forth), in the meantime...

It's been my intention for some time to make available at least some of the demos of the songs of mine, which are most likely to make it onto the CD, so you can have some idea of what form (hopefully) the final album may take. The oldest of these demos date back to the spring of 2002, whilst I threw together the latest one only about a month ago, so they cover quite a range of my "career" (such as it is).

Whilst the demos are not quite ready for downloading yet, I've started uploading them to their first online destination: the Internet Archive. I have had a login at the IA for some time, and even uploaded a 'test' track a few years ago—this time, I thought I'd try the Archive for hosting the demos, mainly because of bandwidth, more expansive hosting space, and the fact that (if I am correct) the IA automatically encodes audio into multiple different file formats, so visitors can choose the format which suits them best.

It'll take a little time, as the IA usually requests that audio files be uploaded in uncompressed WAV format, so that they can then be encoded automatically into MP3, Ogg, FLAC and other formats by their systems. However, I hope soon to start letting you know where you can download the tracks, so you can begin to get an idea of where the CD project is heading.

Keep watching...
