Guerilla Carfare – demo track

March 1st, 2022 by Corey A. Edwards

“Guerilla Carfare” is somewhat unique among my other recent tracks in that it’s actually fairly new. I stumbled across the riff a few months back and the song came together relatively quickly (for someone using my protracted process).

Whiskey Tango – demo track

February 25th, 2022 by Corey A. Edwards

I first started playing around with the rhythm for “Whiskey Tango,” which I was calling “Just Walkin’,” back in January of 2018. I added to it slowly, over the two years that it was in my DAW’s queue, and only recently realized that it kinda sorta sounded like a tango.

Tearing Linen – demo track

January 29th, 2022 by Corey A. Edwards

I’d almost completely forgotten about “Tearing Linen” when I queued it up for a listen the other day. “Say, that’s not too bad,” I thought. “Just needs a bass line and a little polish.”

January 29th, 2022 by Corey A. Edwards

The instrumental version of “Wrote A Song” is actually a rejected attempt at a tongue in cheek approach to a song that’s already tongue in cheek …

Punch the Clock – demo track

January 28th, 2022 by Corey A. Edwards

“Punch the Clock” had the working title of “Chicken On A Leash” and, had I not just released another song with the word “chicken” in its title, that’s what it would have stayed. Oh, well. This short, simple instrumental tune is just as easily the soundtrack for someone working as it is someone walking … a chicken on a leash.

Merkin – demo track

November 1st, 2021 by Corey A. Edwards

The musical seed for “Merkin” was a failed introductory riff I tried on another, yet to be produced song. While the riff didn’t work out as originally intended, it was simple and blunt enough to be used elsewhere, thankfully.

Oubliette – demo track

October 4th, 2021 by Corey A. Edwards

Oubliette“Oubliette” is one of those weird songs with unhappy lyrics yet fairly upbeat (manic?) music.

It’s also a contradiction in that I really like the song, yet it just about ended up in the trash – and I’m still not 100% sure I made the right decision to release it as-is.

No Talkin’ Points – demo track

September 2nd, 2021 by Corey A. Edwards

No Talkin' Points“No Talkin’ Points” popped up as I mucked about with a chord form in August of 2019. What surprised me was that this one-off noodle session based on locating inside-chords would evolve into a full song.

I’m not sure why, though. That’s pretty much how they all come to be.

Erroneous Bosch – demo track

November 6th, 2020 by Corey A. Edwards

“Erroneous Bosch” started out as noodling, grew into a theme, and then spent around 8 months in the “fiddly” stage. I even gave up on it for a while and woulda likely forgotten it had my wife not said: “that’s good, why aren’t you working on that?”

Why, indeed?
