James Newton Howard

I try and write a fair amount in the beginning without the movie. And then when I do get the movie I create these demos, just mock-ups, and I throw them up against the picture and some of it sticks and some of it doesn't. But I'm very careful before I play anything to picture, because that's such a profoundly important moment.

American Composer

Common

I learned a long time ago to be honest when I'm talking to other artists. Up-and-coming artists used to come and say something, they would have a demo reel, and I would try to tell them the truth. I don't go up and say something unless I really feel it.

American Musician

Kurt Vile

I've always been a music fan. I played trumpet. When I was in 4th grade, we were getting demos from the music teacher about different instruments we could play, and I said I wanted to play the trumpet right away. It was easy: it just had three valves.

Jay-Z

Around 20. I'd been trying to transition from the streets to the music business, but I would make demos and then quit for six months. And I started to realize that I couldn't be successful until I let the street life go.

Pete Doherty

I can't see why people call me a bad influence. I meet a lot of kids who are into music. I spend as much time as I can with them. I listen to their demos, and I'm encouraging.

English Musician

Greg Ginn

If people are really excited about their music, and that's their primary motivation, then that comes through in demo tapes. That's the most important ingredient.

Musician

Jim James

If you're reissuing something, it's important to have demos and everything else from that time that wasn't used.

J. J. Cale

People said my records were 'funky' and 'muddy,' but the truth is they were just demos.

Duncan Sheik

I got a publishing deal with BMG, they were supportive, and some money to record demos.

James Arthur

You do need money to make a good demo; you do need a bit of financial support.

 And you feel present in the world that you're inside and you feel present with the people that you're inside of it with. So, I'm going to show you a demo of a virtual reality a full-screen version of all the information that we capture when we shoot virtual reality. So we're shooting in every direction. This is a camera system that we built

 about doing the demo after this. I've got a lot of things to get done today. Worst-case scenario, we don't get a clean start. Or we get an unplanned failure while I'm actually flying around. This is why we keep it very low, so the worst is I just look like an idiot and fall on my rear, as I said. So you can all enjoy that if that happens.

 such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Now, there is no doubt, these are major challenges, and none of them are easy. But our ability to harness enzymes may help us to tackle these in the future, so I think that's another area to be looking forward. So now I'm going to get back to the demo -- this is the fun part.

How designing brand-new...

 was bent over backwards to help us with anything we needed. So now we had a hangar space to work in, and prototypes to demo with. So in one year, we've negotiated manufacturing agreements, been awarded one patent, filed our second patent, talked to multiple people, demoed this to FEMA

 Okay, so I think I have a good handle on how this technology works. I'm gonna show you a quick demo with a copper tube. So, if I take a piece of candy and I drop it through the tube, it falls through pretty quickly. But if instead I use a magnet

 Thank you, appreciate it. Thanks, guys. Chris So help me out on one thing, because there've been a few augmented reality demos shown over the last year or so out there.
