From the beginnings of an idea, all they way through to it potentially being on an album, there are a lot of steps in the process.

One of them is demoing. I think it’s probably way more important in the pop music world, and just vocal music in general, than for instrumental music like the majority of mine. But it has had its place for me over the years, and this episode deals with the journey of the latest single, “13 Fathoms”, from the new album.

Trace the song back to its roots and see what I added and subtracted from the initial idea in order to come up with what you hear on the new album.

Enjoy,

Janek
