When an Occupy demo in the centre of Frankfurt makes world news, I shall hurry to join in.
Demo: presentation of a specific set of capabilities needed to solve the customer's critical business issue.
At fourteen, I started sending out demo tapes.
Some people will totally get restless, since you can make demos pretty easy. It's not unreasonable for someone to say, "All right, can you just record this and go home and work on it?"
For a business plan written when the hardware was a wire-wrapped board and the software was three demos on a graphics substrate, it was pretty close.
I didn't really feel any pressure when I've made records, I haven't as yet anyway. I feel when I'm making a record that I'm so excited about making new songs that when I'm doing demos of new songs, as soon as I make one that's really different I get really excited about the record, I don't care about the last record anymore.
I would love to make a bunch of country demos and write country songs for really great country singers.
If you put a demo on the net and people say it was the finished version then they're going to say it sucks. I really hate that.
I started making music professionally when I was 14. I did songs on that program GarageBand, and then I'd put demos up on MySpace with my friends.
If you are recording, you are recording. I don't believe there is such a thing as a demo or a temporary vocal.
Writing the songs is always emotional and most of the vocals on there are the first three takes from the demos, because they give so much more. You're in that moment, so it speaks for itself.
I thought I'd be wasting my time to go to commercial record companies and make demos for them, because don't forget, I was doing what I was doing and nobody understood what I was doing.
Also I played on a lot of demos in the early days of the Stones.
I don't make demos. I don't have the interest or the energy or the time.
Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too.
I'm still on my demos. I'm still making my mind up and deciding what kind of artistic production to come in. I do things at home with my musicians but I would like an artistic producer to come in and work on them.
The hard part was when I went into the studio with co-producer Eric Broucek, and he started slashing my demos. I always sweat that.
I got a publishing deal with BMG, they were supportive, and some money to record demos
I hope somebody does this to all my crap demos when I'm dead, making them into hit songs.
I have started to record some demos so hopefully in the near future I can play live.
