Demos
Here are a few demos of a few of my songs and instrumentals that I'm posting partly to satisfy my one fan and partly in the hopes that potential collaborators will come across them, like them, and get in touch. (In particular, I'm looking for a lyricist and maybe a vocalist for a side project; contact me if you're interested.) A few notes:
- These demos are partly but not fully representative of the kind of stuff I write. I have a ton of other songs and instrumentals in various stages of completion that range widely in mood, complexity, heaviness, blah blah blah. I guess what I'm getting at is: This is the tip of the iceberg so listen to several demos before you write me off completely. (I'll post more here as I have time to make them publicly presentable, but I've also recorded voiceless rough demos that I'll share with collaborators.)
- Being demos and whatnot, these aren't perfect recordings. But if you start off with very low expectations you probably won't be completely horrified.
- Unless otherwise noted, all the instruments are played by me, often poorly. I know it; I'm sorry. But at least I got a real singer to handle the vocals.
- By all means, send your friends to this page, but don't distribute these demos without first getting permission from me.

No Title Yet
©2011 Germani. Recording ©2011.
Listen. No words yet. Hence no vocals and no title yet. Vocal line represented by synth that sounds kind of like a flute mimicking a church organ. (I won't post vocal-less song demos often, but I wanted to start the site off with more than two recordings; this made three when I originally posted it.)
