8 Demos and the End of an Era...

...no, not the end of the DP -- we will live on infinitely in some form or another. I'm speaking of the possible end of the Analog recording era at Big Ed's Audio Farm. It appears that our Tascam 388 may have seen its final recording session at Big Ed's. To give it a proper send-off, and in celebration of the Memorial Day weekend, we demo'd eight songs, most of which will probably appear on the 'Carlos is A Jive Turkey' project.

During the course of our surprisingly sober five hour session, we were able to record "live" demos of 'All Being Equal' (an old song which appeared on our first demo sessions back in 1998 and can be found on the first Main Man Studios Compilation CD), 'Know', 'Comfort', 'House Lights' (another older song), 'Friends I Wish I Knew', 'Plastic' (a brand new song which is a work in progress), 'This Song' (this demo version could wind up being the final version that appears on the 'Carlos is A Jive Turkey' project), and 'B-Movie Queen'. All in all a full day's work that will allow us to tear down and rebuild these songs -- getting them ready for their real day in the studio.

The demise of our Tascam 388 is leading us to the somewhat familiar world of digital recording -- and we are hopeful that we will be back in business sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we may let some of these demos out via our website, www.diggerphelps.net, keep an eye on this Blog for further announcements.
