DEMO 12.2.04 1:32pm

So this was my first foray into writing in 11/4. The final outcome of the demos listed below would result in Symmetry Pursuit X, the ninth track from A Forest Through The Trees.

The first demo was begun on 12.2.04, including the drum track, bass, guitars, plus a few synths at the end. The next file is from 6.6.05. At this point I’d added some scratch vocals that pretty much stink in my opinion, some chorus pads, more synths, and a guitar solo. A few steps forward, but nothing amazing for sure. The third file is from 9.15.05. I’m pretty sure I re-recorded the vocals and then layered some effects on top (still fairly not good though). I’ve also added a couple electric guitars and mixed everything slightly different. This one sounds pretty darn similar to the last one, so if you’re in a rush I really wouldn’t bother.

Last is the final version from A Forest Through The Trees. The difference is pretty severe, with live drums, new vocals, keys, bass, guitars, and a ton of FX swelling up at the end. The lyrics are also listed below. Thanks for listening.
