Nick's Blog #022: A Very Quick Update
Hello everyone! Here is a very quick update on what's currently going on with The Dreamer and the Sleeper.
We are still busy recording demos of new songs. As we thought it is going slow. We are really taking some time with these demos. Getting to know them as a band and building on them from there. The demo featured in both Volume 1 and 3 of the 2010 session videos is an older song of mine that I wrote way back when we were writing Autumn in the Evening. In fact until now it was called "Autumn in the Evening". Not sure if that is going to change or if we'll release it under that title but for now we are calling it Demo C :). I am really excited to how the demo is shaping up. We've had the first half of the song pretty much mapped out for a year or two now but I was never sure how the second half would turn out. It is a pretty cool song with an acoustic-y feel to the first half and a much more ambient sounding second half.
We also have the demo that was featured in the 2010 sessions video volume 1. This is one of Easton's songs. People who have heard it all seem to love it so I am pretty excited about this one as well. The demo we did of this song (what you hear in the video) literally took us about an hour to throw together. Since then we've been making some slight tweaks to it, mostly just stuff we come up with while rehearsing to play it live. But for the most part this song feels like it's been pretty much fully written for a while now.
We have a third demo which is also a song written for Autumn in the Evening (Easton's song this time). This song has taken an entirely new shape in the new demo we have started. All that is left really is just the general vocal melody. It has a much different sound to it which is always exciting for us to hear!
That is all for now. I'll come back on and talk about some of the other new songs once we get them demoed!
