Steven Universe Demos

Here’s the demo I made for the Cookie Cat rap. The lyrics were written by Ben and Matt, the writers on the show. I decided to turn it into a rap for some reason. I made the music in LSDJ on an actual gameboy!

This is the arrangement I did for the opening song, minus Rebecca's vocals! Featuring violin played by Joe Johnston!!

At The Big Donut (Demo)

The original demo for Steven and the Stevens!
This song is in the key of G. In the show we had to raise it up to Bb because it was a little too deep for Steven/Zach's voice.

Big Fat Zucchini Demo

Ste-Ste-Ste Steven Demo

I made this demo for the scenes inside of Lion's mane in Lion 3: Straight to Video. When I boarded the scenes that take place in the mane, I thought it would be cool to play some music during the board pitch. I wanted it to be disorienting and weird so I reversed the track, and had it gradually build up with more layers getting weirder and weirder until Steven reaches the tree and it starts playing forward coherently. The track plays backwards up until 1:39 and then it starts playing forward.
I sent this demo to Aivi and Surasshu and they did the awesome version that's in the final episode!

Lion's Mane Demo

Be Wherever You Are (Demo)

Here's the demo I made for On the Run! Featuring amazing vocals by Katie Mitroff for Amethyst's part. This one was kind of a puzzle for me. I originally wrote the song in D major, but I had to adjust it to B-flat to fit both Steven and Amethyst's voice actors' ranges. My voice is really low so Steven sings an octave higher than me in the final version.

On the Run Demo

Here's the first demo I did for On the Run! This one's in the key of D major. The kalimba at the end is a real kalimba! The one I have happens to be in the key of D. The one in the final version is digital because I changed it to B-flat, and sadly I have no B-flat kalimba.

On The Run Original Demo

Here's the demo I arranged for Stronger Than You! Rebecca recorded the vocals and omnichord track, and I put everything else together in Logic. We used this track to figure out the timing for the action sequence and for Estelle to sing to. Aivi and Surasshu then made it a billion times more awesome for the final version!!

Stronger Than You - Demo (feat. Rebecca Sugar)

Here's my demo for Amethyst's song in Cry for Help! Bonus intro guitar loops at the beginning- they play backwards over the end of the song.

maybe you're better off with her
i think she's better for you
i forgot how great it felt to be us
guess i got carried away...

i had to use you to make me feel strong
but i don't care about that now
i see a tower built out of my mistakes
and it all comes crashing down

is there something i can do?

can i make it up to you?
