These are demos of my current work, created to document and assess musical ideas, and to help decide what to work on next.

The song titles are links to the lyrics, the dates are when I wrote them, and in parentheses, the recording presented.

Technically, a "demo" is either a rough idea for a song brought to band practice, or a home-made or low-budget recording submitted to a record company. These lie somewhere in between, since I have neither a band nor a record company.
