Final version is here: https://soundcloud.com/cylob/diary-burner-1?in=cylob/sets/placeholder-5

Tracing the evolution of the track "Diary Burner" from last year's album PLACEHOLDER. The various versions at different stages of development are crossfaded into each other. Starting as a "home made 808" jam, some ominous chords are added, a funky bassline joins the party and the vocoder gets involved. The last 35 seconds are from the final version, the iconic track that we all know and love :D

The initial track was saved on January 25th 2021 at 13:41 and the mixdown of the final version on August 29th 2021 at 17:27, so now you know.

Is this interesting to you? I'm always thrilled to hear early or alternative versions of tracks I like, so that's why I did this. If you want me to dig out some more "evolutions", click the heart and / or leave a comment. If not then fine, I can just delete this later and we can all move on as if nothing happened, OK?
