about

This is an album of cinematic electronic music rich in synthesizer sequences, melodies, pads, and effects.

Welcome to the Borders Edge Music Demo Series!
This series presents artist tracks from published albums, but in versions that never saw the light of day. These are the working demo versions, or a slice in time before they were polished off to create the final product. This series are for listeners interested in completing their collection and/or are interested in discovering artists’ working process.

The first album in the Demo Series is titled “BEM Demo Series Vol 1 - Sequential Dreams” and features working demo selections from the Sequential Dreams project, with tracks from the Legends (2016), and The Exodus Wave (2017) albums.

For listeners who are new to Sequential Dreams, this is a project founded by Borders Edge Music and Sequential Dreams founding member Ron Charron (a.k.a.: Kuutana). Over the course of the last several albums, the Sequential Dreams project has had a dozen featured artists over the years. The album development process usually starts off with one project member contributing a track, to which invited featured artist(s) contribute layers. These additional instrumental layers and then mixed into the base track to create a new finished product. Sometimes, pretty significant rearranging can take place and the track can take a distinct flavour of its own. The Demo Series gives the listener an opportunity to explore significantly different versions of the original ideas behind the tracks.


Track 1: Event Horizon
Previously published in final form on the “Legends” album, this working demo version was the original track contribution by Ron Charron. Missing from this demo version are former Tangerine Dream guitarist’s Bernhard Beibl creative guitar work including effects such as using an electric drill on his Ibanez! However, in its earlier form (this demo included in this album) the backing synths in sections with the missing guitars are more present.

Track 2: Mojave Midnight
Previously published in final form on the “Legends” album (2016), this working demo version was the original track contribution by Ron Charron. Missing from this demo version are former Tangerine Dream guitarist’s Bernhard Beibl melodic and rhythmic guitar work. However, in its earlier form (this demo included in this album) the backing synths in sections with the missing guitars are more present. Additionally, some e-Guitars used by Ron on the demo can be heard here, but were later removed for the Legends album version.

Track 3: Telemetry
Previously published in final form on “The Exodus Wave” album (2017), this working demo version was the original track contribution by Ron Charron. Missing from this demo version are former Tangerine Dream guitarist’s Bernhard Beibl powerful guitar chords, riffs and leads.
