This is an older song and hey, you'll finally get to hear me sing badly! This was under my old name Piscean Dream so I couple of you may or may not have heard this before. Thanks for listening!
Basically my feeble attempt at a fist pumping 'dance' song... but of course I had to weird it up a bit. :) The main vocalist who basically says variations of 'I like to dance' are my computers voice. Thanks for listening!

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…
The berimbau is a brazilian percussion/string instrument that is the foundation for this tune.
Thanks to Dana (Alontoner) who added the sweet backup vocals to make this a much better piece.
And thanks also to K. Scot Sparks (Alonetoner…
Timely sounding. Wonderful. This transports me to a time in history when people enjoyed simpler things in life and we're so caught up in the rat race. Excellent!
Originally this piece was written for a guitar. But I love my R3 so much! I'm playing with it. So this piece is just an electronic version. As always, all sound patches were programmed by me.
We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed.
We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…
Yesterday I bought a very lovely sample set from Soniccouture called [The Skiddaw Stones](http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/p4-the-skiddaw-stones/).

Your getting some nice sounds out of that microKorg. I really like the guitar. It fits well with the rest of the song. It does get a little repetitive but nothing major. Reminds me of video games which I really enjoy!
I just couldn't sit on this anymore! This is a work in progress. I have some ideas for lyrics, but am waiting for time and inspiration to complete it.
Enjoy,
Doug
Great start Doug. I can definitely hear some lyrics over this. I hope that inspiration for them strikes you soon. This is also very nice as is just as an instrumental!
Very peaceful. Sorry to hear about your friend in Hospice. I've had loved ones be taken care of by Hospice before. Music can be very meditative. Thanks for sharing.
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
This is has a dark feel to it. I like the subtle voice patches. This is mixed very well. It has a nice full sound to it. Such a beautiful lead guitar tone. Are you recording this direct or what sort of mic set-up do you use? Nice build up. The shakers add a nice touch!
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Really beautiful finger picking. That's one thing I've never really felt comfortable doing. I'm stuck in a rut of playing with a pick but maybe I'll branch out one of these days! Really nice progression. This was the perfect song to wake up to!
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
For doing everything in the box this sounds great! I'm not sure if the metronome fits but that adds to the beauty of it. Really nice guitar work and I like how the song builds!
Happy Sunday Alonetoner's.
I wrote this song yesterday as I had some recent events to ponder.... I hope you like it. Trying for a bit of a bluesy feel. If you'd like to download it and add some background blues bass or guitar, or harmonies…
When I put these last 3 songs on itunes, my computer did something weird. It told me that these songs were already out there on the internet somewhere. So, in order not to infringe on any copyright laws, I would like to assure everyone that NONE…
Comments on Mannequin Races's stuff
Cool vox.
now that is FNG!
Diggin it, I used a similar voice effect on the SPModified track with other alonetoners. Very cool
Great fun! (*pumping fist in the air*)
agree, i bet you were fist pumping with 1 hand while the other hand was constructing the track. well done.
Great fun track!
Good song that builds behind a great vocal.
Really well produced, wished it was longer.
Totally Addictive. Love the little piano breaks.
good fun here,,,
vocals are good! Nice vibe
Dig it all!
Love this melody - delivered perfectly by edgy vox. Agree with facemask about the Morrissey vibe. Too cool!
Wow, nearly missed this. Great playing - cool song!
Love the feel of this. And yeah, there's nothing bad about the voice :-) Just keep using it...
Nothing bad about that voice. And the music is pretty good too.
Good song buddy definately got a morrissey vibe
Cool stuff mate!.... good message!! little bit of Morrisey (think thats how he spells it) yeah bloody good!!
I love the voice
bloodyyy

Pretty groovy. Nice and mellow but has a nice beat to it. Enough variation here to keep me listen through the whole track.
Timely sounding. Wonderful. This transports me to a time in history when people enjoyed simpler things in life and we're so caught up in the rat race. Excellent!
Oh that's killer! Fantastic sounds. They have great depth. Are you using the Korg R3 or some other instrument name 'R3?!'
Whimsical! Nice ode to your borrowed friend! Very original!
Nice sample set! I love organic sounds like this. Sounds like you're banging away on this stuff in a monastery! In my mind I can hear monks chanting in the background!
Nice bass line! Great off-beat feel. That's pretty sweet. You like dissonant stuff don't you?! Maybe think about making some of the drum parts more offbeat also to match the bass. You know, kind of like Zeppelin. I can hear some double bass drum in there!
Nice instrumentation as always. I like it when the song goes crazy around the 1:10 mark. Is that you playing guitar or something/someone else?
Love the evolving landscape. Great textures. The piano is very Earthy but the other sounds are very alien like. Really nice!
Great voice! Nicely mixed and produced!
Beautiful. Really calm. Peaceful but it has dark underlying tones.

Great performance. The mix seemed a little low in volume but it sure has nice fidelity!
Groovy ass song! Reminds me of Beck but has an originality all your own. Nice work!
Great romp! Love the subject matter! This has a nice raw feel to it.
