GEAR DATABASE

Buried deep under this gear obsession is a love of actual music. Can Mick reignite it by bringing this song demo to fruition?

Welcome to the show! In this episode I decide to demo up a song I wrote a while back. Starting with the drums, the track builds up with bass, some electric and acoustic guitar parts and finally vocals.
Now this can be a super simple process… or it can be incredibly labour intensive. And guess which route I tend to take?!
Oh dear, no matter. However you approach it, the hope is that by engaging your mind and soul into something creative, your life will be enriched with peace and balance. Erm, or you get terribly stressed and want to give up forever.
All this and more is explored in the video – please enjoy it!
