I'm not sure if I'll keep the song title. Anyway, this song is more about feeling I guess. At times the song feels happy, then creepy, then sad or dissonant. How does this song make you feel?! Thanks for listening!
This one has been sitting around for a while but I feel it's the best or most interesting of my most recent posts. The inspiration came from listening to an old CD I have of a great band from the 90's. If anybody can name the band that I gained…
I think this is the first song that I've posted here under Mannequin Races that actually has a guitar in it. You can't really tell that it's a guitar but it's in there (middle section around the 1:50 mark). The guitar is heavily modulated but…

This song is based around a sample that I took of my dish washer. The sample starts out simple enough and then gets more chopped up at the end. The song evolved from there. Also in this song is a new pedal I got that is a photo theremin. You…

I'm not sure if I'm happy with how the mastering came out but I figured it's time to let this one fly and get some feedback on it. I recorded the 'robot' voice using Audio Hijack Pro to record my Apple's system voice and then added some effects…

Dissonant cohesion. Didn't think it was possible, but you managed! Stays interesting the whole way through which is important to me anyway.
Great stuff!
Just an experiment from a while back using multiple delay units. I hated it initially, but after not hearing it for a few months I decided there were enough interesting moments to warrant sharing.
Love playing with delay! So many creative uses and opportunities. What delay pedal(s) or software are you using for this? Very relaxing piece. Dreamy. Reverse delay is my favorite. :)
A favorite style of my wife... like Kris Kristofferson, in a way. Maybe more folk than Outlaw Country...? The song has great meaning for me.
Hope you like it!

Wonderfully laid back. I can picture myself sitting out on the porch in the country listening to this as the World passes me by for a bit. Very cool Doug!

This man I knew too well
This man I know is gone
This man I see lying here
This man who died in my arms
I can't explain to you
His dark voice
It had a lot of power
It held a lot of pain
He made sure you heard
He made sure you listened
You feared…

Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!
Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could play like that! Is this a recording of your actual or a software instrument? Either way sounds really rich and warm and I like that!
I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!

the sheriff's back in town
that o' hired hand of dread
cleanin' up the channels
knockin' down the webs
his lights, they are a flashin'
stopped me in my tracks alone
his hand on rein and bridle says
this freedom's gotta go
he said it…
about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

Love the musical bed in the back with the backwards parts. The whole piece is really serene and transports the listener to another place.

That fuzz bass is freaking sick! Great vocals. Really sweet song. When the guitars come in around 1:25... YESSS!!!!
Those are some tasty guitars! Nice bass also and vocals. :)
Everything sounds really nice! Love the guitars and vocals. The background vocals sound great also.
Soothing and calming. Very beautiful. Also has a mournful quality to it.
Wonderfully laid back. I can picture myself sitting out on the porch in the country listening to this as the World passes me by for a bit. Very cool Doug!
Really nice chord progression. Very peaceful and has a great vibe to it. Cool.
Love the celtic feel to this! It just has a great old World feel and charm to it that can't be beat. The playing is top notch!
Cool! Awesome harmony vocals. Killer. I like the sparseness of this. :)
Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!
Cool song. Great voice. Nice lyrics! Thanks for you comment on my song Wolves. I love music from the 90's!
Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could play like that! Is this a recording of your actual or a software instrument? Either way sounds really rich and warm and I like that!
Pretty damn funky! Cool jam.
Extremely cinematic! Really sets the mood for something ominous to happen!
That's some beautiful playing and a great progression! Well done. :)
Nice! Your voice and guitar work really well together. Very Neil Young-esque indeed! Good stuff.
Hauntingly beautiful! This really sets a dark undertone. Well done!
Nice slide guitar! Really cool tune. Definitely has a vibe and I like it.
Very groovy. Nice and mellow. Great collaboration!
