Haaa! I love the concept! The music fits perfect with the pondering of steel plates w/ small gussets and 3/8" holes....I deal with that jargon myself....great tune.

My only musical Christmas present. Tharek(Osckilo) sent me a wonderful Spanish/Arab sounding guitar track. All I had to do was sing. Sometimes that is the biggest treat of all, and I took full advantage of it. Thanks, bro!!
All done on the…
The "Ahhhhhs" (Sleeping with the Ghost)- it's just patience, close mic-ing and using your "head voice" (try and sing as much like a girl as you can lol). And then for "harder" sounds, "wail" at it.
Lots of voices with uniform performances produce "smooth" and "rich"; less and varied performances (as in not the same everytime) produce sharper sounds. Mix the two up as necessary in layers.
Also think about recording the "breath" in the notes as well.
You're actually getting VERY close to it with the vox on here - think about using different tones of voice and it will all become clear :)
Also there's a bunch of EQing tricks - a cut at 3K (Q 1.0) on the bvox will increase the breathy, soft sound (and keep them out of the way of the lead).
I'm not on top of it as usual, guys. But I did manage to let Greg Brady out of my basement and set him free. This is his testimonial regarding the incident. I hope he can forgive me.

Now, you see what you miss when someone isn't "followed"? lol
This is fab too.
Actually, I don't think I've listened to anything of yours since mebbe a year or so back on songcrafters. Well, I'll be back later and check it all out.
Actually, same here - hadn't clicked that button Follow button on yours either - fixed now!
Might as well listen to this again while I'm doing it lol
That chorus is brilliant. The backing vox, and then those descending chords at the end of it.
Back for another slice... and this is even better than I thought... but I've already clicked fave... typical
Tie the woman to the chair, stick the headphones on her and make her listen (that's what I do lol)
When I wrote this song.... It was about staying true to your Ideals...
In fact... It is about a person that put me in a very difficult situation....
One that effected my life for a while... Just for doing the right thing...
I think…
Man, I must be out of touch. I play/sing on a lot of your tunes and still managed to miss this one!
I love it! It swings big time and the vocals kick ass!!
You rule, bro! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!
Morning light on the mountain stream,
catches the eye of the child within his dreams.
The day begins, present and aware,
of all the beauty, he plays without a care.
Castles on the riverbank, a choir of birds in song,
picking spring flowers in…
Right on, bro! A well put together prog masterpiece as usual. You must have had a hell of a time putting this one together! We've got to do another collab soon!

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…
This one is called "Your Light".
Hope you Like it!
Peace

LYRICS
-YOUR LIGHT-
-By Tharek Mokbul-
We’ve heard all the compliments.
All said in a day.
They’ve lost all their meaning now.
Wasted away.
They were there…
Love like a salt river washing away
Love's like sunshine evaporate
Love like floating candles blowing away
Watch out for the way you'll compensate
When I've seen all you have to give
When I'm still hungry
I need more than this
Tell me how…
The verses in this song alternate being about my best friend when I was a little kid, and my best friend at the time I wrote it. I thought it was brave and artsy at the time. Then I grew up. :)
Thanks to Sister Savage for helping us debut our new project. As busy as she is, Sister managed a bit of time and some great Jovian vox for us.
This piece or art is unique, sublime, and psychedelic.
Lyrics:
?
2010 Savigear-Reyes-Lennon
Many thanks to Kirk Lynch, a real gentleman and a pleasure to jam with.
His tracks are the heart of this tune.
Lyrics:
I have a a pain
deep in my Chest
I can’t Breathe
as I Light my cigarette
Oh my head, Woe is me
Oh my head, Woe is me
But…
A cover and rearrangement of the song Lost! by Coldplay.
Thank Jesus for my skills, had it not been for him i would surely be dead.
I give thanks to God and credit this to him for giveing me the skills he has.
It should never be different for…
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!
** this could really use a tasty melody to go with…
Hybrid analog/digital rock and roll. I'm trying out some new guitar FX and amp sims in Pro Tools.
They are not so bad all distorted and fuuzzzzed
up.
I tried to sing it, but hey, you know, I give it hell though right?
It's a Goddess of War…
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…
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!
I'm singing lead on this. It was recorded to 24 track, 2 inch tape, I'm thinking. I have those somewhere, but they've turned gooey. Sadly, it seems to go into the red during the chorus, but I can't fix that now. I have more stories about the…

Had to play it again....where's Grace.....Slick...
Oh man, you're out on a limb, Love it..... is this from Woodstock '69.......
Solid groove, free lyric phrasing. Killer combo, oh slow slide turnaround this rocks........Steve
Haaa! I love the concept! The music fits perfect with the pondering of steel plates w/ small gussets and 3/8" holes....I deal with that jargon myself....great tune.

I dig, bro. Very tight and full of energy. And it flow along great for all the sounds you have packed in there! Nice!
Great vocal textures here.
This is freakin' sweet, bro! Wonderful strumming and the lyrics are awesome! You rule, man!
Yes - I love it. It's full of passion - You both know how to deliver. Fantastic!
Very soothing and mellow. Requires multiple listens.
I like this one, flows along great.
Can you say neo-hippie-symphonic-space-jazz?? Well composed and performed. I love it!
This is great stuff, guys! You should give a breakdown of who did what. I kinda got an idea, but it would still be cool :) Frickin' sweet lyrics too!
Beautiful.
Yes - I love it. The rhythm guitar tone and that Tony Banks sounding synth part was great.
Nawmy!! Cool shout out to mom! I might craft a little audio card for my mom now. Great driving conga beats!
Enviable guitar tone. I want that sound.
The guitar and vox are a deadly weapon here! Great tune.
I thought this was cool as all getout, bro! Vox were great, and I loved that guitar tone. Sweeeeeeet!!!
Yes - I love it.
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!
Holy FN kick ass, Batman! Not a big listener of the loops, but I thought this turned out great.Sweeet!
Yes, I love it!
