A small collection of my music demos which I recorded way back in the early 90’s.

They are all ‘works in progress’ so they are just the bare bones of songs and the sound quality isn’t great. They are all quite short and there are no vocals present bar on one track, as they are most suited for use as film soundtracks.

I would love to hear comments as to any emotional response they may evoke!

Thanks.

Equipment Used: Amiga 500, Music-X, Roland S10, Kawai K1m, Yamaha DX11, Akai XE 8 / Casio RZ-1, Alesis MicroVerb2
