Notes:

The REMIX: (The interpretation of a song, for the dance floor.

DEMOS: (working version version of a song idea)
Like Gesture Sketch drawing helps a painter to develop composition, and balance the proportions,
or; the way a Rough Draft of a story helps a writer understand how to unfold the story, and shape it’s arc. Or, the way a Floor Plan drawing, or a Model of a building helps an architect or carpenter, layout & visualize the building…

A spontaneous demo version of a song helps the musician articulate the shape and thrust of the song idea; gives the song form and direction. And, helps the other musicians who will play on it’s final version, to get a physical idea of the intention of the composition. It’s like a 3 dimensional sonic model.

A composer once said to me; “I like to quickly frame the house first, careful not to get caught up in the details, and thus get bogged down…but, rather move quickly & intuitively, and realize the idea in a basic form. Afterwards, if I see that the song idea has substance, and a good foundation; I can go back in and build it from the inside out. It’s then I allow myself to be particular about the details”.  This struck me as true for myself as well, when I’m making demos.

EARLY VERSIONS AND ALTERNATE TAKES:
Often times, it takes a few attempts to record a song to comprehend and conceive it. It can be played slow or fast / Have different arrangement phases along the way / Different approaches in style. Occationally, abandoned song ideas get cannibalized and show up in other songs. Sometimes there are good ideas in alternate versions that never wind up on the final version because the songs evolve, or there is just no space in the mix… or, they get over looked.

OUT-TAKES:
Some song ideas make it all the way to the studio, and finally get left off the final cut list, just because the album is taking shape all its own, and some particular songs, tho loved, don’t quite seem to fit the vibe of the album concept, as a whole. Sometimes they show up on later albums, once we understand them better, or find the right album home for them.
We might go into the studio with twenty solid songs demos, or song start ideas. Then, once we get up to speed in the studio, new songs often start to write them selves along the way (as we have sort of woken the ghost) and we wind up with too many songs to choose from.

SONG DEVELOPMENT:
Many song ideas are experimented with in rehearsal, or directly in the studio while recording. Lot’s of ideas are tried. We like to try every idea that comes up. Once all ideas are considered and tested, It’s usually obvious to the majority which idea works the best.  
Different band members and sections bring ideas for layers of sound towards the making of the final version: Horn and String arrangements. Rhythm section augmentation, Vocal harmonies. Sonic textures and production elements; They all bring atmosphere & intricacy to the recording.
