“A song. Where does it come from? When I think the birth of my songs, I can’t really say. Most of them start to reveal themselves a piece by piece. Usually when I kinda “think nothing” with my acoustic guitar – just noodling something and listening. Later on, when a song starts to create some character and melody, it is like a “demon”. Some of them are pretty nasty kind, some nice and smooth. But all of them, in the certain period of the birth process, are constantly echoing in my mind. And I can guarantee, it is not a blessing, man. That is why I started to call my demos to demons.”

DEMO(N)S

These versions will  be changed over time because I can’t listen to my music – I always want to change something. Said that, these demos are not very polished or produced in a modern way – mainly because of the lack of time I prefer to go on and make new music. There is so much to do and so little time, you know.

THANK YOU GUYS!

It is an honor to work with all of you. Thanks for making these tiny songs alive. Special thanks to SW4 Studios – and my family for letting me do happily this non-profit nonsense 🙂
