DEMO 11.30.04 5:14pm

I’ll begin this series with the very first idea I could find in my files, all the way back from 11.30.2004. I've decided to list these demos in order of when they were started, not completed, which at this point seems like the most logical way to approach this. Most ideas are started, then set aside for a while, then picked back up at another point, the set aside again, and so on until I either feel satisfied with a final outcome or stop working on it entirely.

Presenting things in order of creation, even if the initial idea is very unformed and raw, will provide insight into my creative inclinations over time. Unfortunately there is no way for you to follow my creativity every step of the way without placing a streaming camera in the studio for you to watch things unfold in real time. Maybe that's a good idea though. For these older ideas, I'll just have to supply what evidence I have on hand, which will certainly widen the window into what I've created more than if I didn't do so at all.

Anyway, this obviously wasn’t the first idea I’d ever created in my life, but the first I could find from what I’d saved on different hard drives over the years. If I had access to every idea I’d ever created, it would stretch back much further of course. Since I wasn’t prone to recording everything back when, this will serve as an arbitrary starting point. If I find more ideas stashed away somewhere I’ll share those too.

Thanks for listening

MANY YEARS IN OUTER SPACE
I’VE RUN THIS CONTRABAND
THERE IS NO ONE OUT HERE HALF AS SWIFT AS I
I’LL RUN CIRCLES AROUND YOU IN THE BLINKING OF AN EYE
AS I JOURNEY ON A ROCKET IN THE SKY

MOVEMENT FLOWS UNDER ME
IT’S ALL WHERE IT SHOULD BE

MOVEMENT FLOWS UNDER ME
NOTHING’S WHERE IT SHOULD BE

SO I ADMIT I NEVER CARED
THAT THE SPEED IS ALL FOR SHOW
EVEN AS I SNOOZED IN TREACHEROUS SECTOR PHI
SO I’LL STEER THIS SHIP
RELAX AND SIP THIS TASTY EAU DE VIE
AS I JOURNEY ON A ROCKET IN THE SKY
