What I mean is, your Circuit Bending outshines that of World War Nine. But check out my old, old AloneTone page ( http://www.alonetone.com/jackmerlot/tracks ) & listen to Skeleton Key 73 or Around & Aboot as good examples of what kinds of synth sounds I've managed; maybe you can give me some advice on how to get some better sequencer software into my flow so I'm not trying to play five instruments at once. Keep up the good work.

Wow, the overall structural & textural aspects of this have me shaking my head out of wonder. I play the guitar for World War Nine ( http://www.alonetone.com/worldwar9 ) but I also play electric bass & fill in on the Yamaha DD55 Drum Druid when necessary ( usually 'cause Miroslav is too hungover to come to band practice, but I digress ) but one thing I haven't ever gotten the hang of is keys/synths & such. I've settled for using various filters & Nyquist plugins in Audacity to modify my guitar sound until it's pretty hard to distinguish from an ( amateur ) keyboardist circuit bending his way through some analogue modeling synthesis software, then jazz it up by using found sound object art as a form of collage, and if I get desperate, I'll set up PixiTracker or another tracker on my phone & hook it up to the line0 on the computer with a god damned eighth inch stereo mini jack, god damn it. And, the hell if that don't work most of the time, just to make sound collages & have something to talk about besides the Trump White House or the Russians or the Wall to Keep Mexicans Out or...

I like how it fits together too!

Cool sounds!

Cool!!

I like this a lot! To my ear this sounds like a lost Smiths track - and that's just positive :)

Beautiful melody! Cool job!

Great song!!

good stuff

It's a bonny tune ...

I would've been toast! Wonderful!

I love the juxtaposition of the dirty urbanism against sweet symphonic sounds. Great synthesizers! Good to hear it. It's the National Anthem of The Dirty Beats of America.

I'd say that was a fine experiment!

very cool reverse samples! dig it!

Sounds like the originality from the 90's I like it man

Cool piece of writing that is! Reminds me of some of favorite early 70's things

picturesque,,, lyrics,, music, and vocals all flow together so well

Instant favorite! Very well played on all instruments!

Great guitar work also - love the tendrils through the bridge.

Ouch...poignant stuff. Love the stripped down arrangement for the intro, and then the build at 1 minute that seems to add so much weight to your words.

Once again, killer stuff. Love what you're doing here.

This is heaven. I love shit like this!

(Drool) Okay, I've always known that I've wanted to give Reaktor a shot but now I really want to try it out! Great stuff. I have no idea how to ad more space in something like this but I like it the way it is. My only suggestion to try out sometime is to vary the panning. Seems like the panning (ping pong effect) is pretty consistent. I would try varying it more (like faster panning for a bit, then slower, etc..). Anyways cool stuff!

You are right on the money that I have a lot of fun coming up with my songs! Thanks for your listens and checking out my back catalog! This song builds really nicely. It's very full and rich. I wish I could compose longer songs like this. I get tired of musical ideas really quickly and always want to move on to the next one! This would be great in a movie soundtrack. There is some slight hissing going on but nothing terribly distracting. Excellent work here!

I say those internal mics sound pretty darn good! Cool composition. Lots of nice changes in this.

Beautiful and tranquil. Really nicely played and recorded.

Groovy song. It needs some more bottom end though. Everything else is right on the money. Pretty cool!

Wish I could play blues like that! Very soulful. Makes me want to break out my guitar and rip off some licks. Nice guitar sound! Cool. This one needs a backing track though but I like the sparseness of it.

Nice driving bass and drums. Simple but effective!

I like how this one slowly comes together. Great guitar tone. Parts of it remind me of Queens of the Stone Ages. Pretty slick. I dig it.

Love how this one pulses. Very alive and organic. Great instrumentation. Very unique. Awesome job. The chopiness of this is disconcerting and fantastic at the same time. It's got that muffled ears sort of sound. Interesting indeed.

Love the sparseness to this. Simple but very effective. This has a classic feel to it. Well done!

I like the breakdown around 1:13. Nice production and mixing. Lots going on in this song.

This is very timely and classic. Great singing and backing music. Definitely a winner! Was this recorded to tape? It sounds like it's going 'into the red' but either way this has a great feel to it.

I'm a percussionist first and foremost so I love this. Awesome jungle jam. Those congas sound nice and full.

Oh yeah, this is rocking. Great riffs. Nice production. The bottom end sounds a bit boomy but other than that it's all good. Fantastic shredding.

Wish I could write songs like this when I'm drunk. Hmmm... maybe I need to start drinking more. Excellent acoustic jam. This one has a sort of Adam Sandler feel to it. I think it's a combination of your voice and the lyrics. Well done!

Thanks for your recent comment on my song, it was great! This is some really beautiful playing! The guitar playing is great! I guess great is an understatement. The word virtuoso comes to mind. Much respect sir!

Yowza, those are some killer vocal harmony parts. Me likey.

Man, that's the best place to come up with tunes is in the shower. Happens to me all the time! I would comment more on this track but the browser keeps choking on this one. I'll try it again soon.
