Jake Skylyr Demos

Welcome to the Demos page. With the exception of the two cover songs, the Jake Skylyr Demos CD is comprised of songs that I composed between 1998 and 2001. The cover songs contained on this disc are Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and Joe Satriani's "Always With Me, Always With You". The premise of this disc was never to really be a "CD", but to record song ideas before they were forgotten.

After having been in bands that left me unfulfilled musically, I began to have song ideas of my own that I wanted to record. This was about the summer of 1998. At the time however, I didn't have much in the way of resources for recording. I owned a 4-track cassette multi-track recorder, but it was in NJ at the time (living in AZ, this was a slight problem). Before I had retrieved my 4-track, I recorded a few of these songs in some rather unorthodox ways (which will be described as best detail as I can remember somewhere on this site), but once I got it back, they were re-recorded to their current versions. All tracks (except "Falling Dreams") were recorded using a 4-track cassette multi-track. I will include all technical information track by track in the links below, as well as the stories behind the songs, lyrics, and low resolution (read: small) audio samples.
