Original demos recorded in 2009. Denoised and revived for 2025 release.

Continuing on from Part 1, Part 2 consists of more First Take Acoustic songs that I recorded in 2009. Often making up the songs (the music and how I performed them) at the time of pressing the record button.

This part also features more Acapella tracks. These were songs that (at least, inside my mind) were more intended for either Electronic music or songs with more instruments in. Which at that point, I wasn't making but you can hear the difference in the way that I sing them.

The demos are still raw and contain errors but have been 90-95% denoised. These were recorded as first takes. Working with the limited equipment and things I had at that time. You could consider these like live Sorrow Stories bootleg demos.

The demos have either been transferred via tape or taken from older daws and manually been revived by myself.

There are many more so if you enjoy these, stay tuned for the next lot coming later on this year!

The Dark Glass was first created by Sorrow Stories between 2014-2016 & was intended as a compilation of Instrumental Scifi/Horror + Soundtrack release with various styles of dark synth.

Now Sorrow Stories, working with the parts that were available, has remixed, reproduced & remastered the trks. Adding to and changing few of the elements; bringing them more uptodate, whilst still remaining within the same realm that was captured in the originals.

Releasing in separate parts that can be heard alone but will all sync together, Part 2/6 releases on Halloween 2024.

Included along with the originals for the first time are six unreleased versions of each of the tracks. These are intended as different parts to the same songs (in the way that you may hear two different versions of the same track in a movie score but for two separate scenes)
Plus two unreleased bonus tracks and artwork for the soundtrack exclusive to Bandcamp.

Thanks to everyone that supports this release.

Original demos recorded in 2009. Denoised and revived for 2024 release.

The original demos have been revived and 95-99% denoised of the tape/mic hiss that was originally dominating throughout. It is not possible for all traces to be gone and it does vary but now they are much more listenable.

The demos are still raw and contain errors. These were recorded as first takes. Working with the equipment and things I had at that time. Many of the songs, apart from the lyrics, were created upon hitting the record button. You could consider these like live Sorrow Stories bootleg demos.

The demos have either been transferred via tape or taken from older daws and manually been revived by myself.

I am starting with the 2009 demos that I originally shared to Soundcloud from 2010 but even though the future ones will also be demos still, you will hear a difference in my style or performance as we go along from year to year.

One day, I would like to record a few songs from these demos again but most of these trks will only ever be available here and certainly, only these versions of them.

These demos will be submitted to streaming platforms for the first time and they will be low priced on my bandcamp. Any additional support is of course, always appreciated.

The Dark Glass was first created by Sorrow Stories between 2014-2016 & was intended as an Instrumental Scifi Horror Soundtrack release with varying styles incl Dark Ambient, Synthpop, Industrial and dark, sad, lofi, minimalistic & oddities to create these instrumentals.

Now Sorrow Stories, working with the original stems, has remixed, reproduced & remastered the trks. Adding to and changing some of the elements; bringing them more uptodate, whilst still remaining within the same realm that was captured in the originals.

Releasing in separate parts that will stand alone but all connect together, Part 1/6 starts in Nov 2023. Included along with the originals for the first time are six different versions of each of the tracks and artwork for the soundtrack exclusive to Bandcamp.

Thanks to everyone that supports this release.
