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!

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 song is a tribute to the space monkeys named Albert. They all died tragic deaths of various kinds during their forced service to the American space program.
Thanks for the comments bro.
for Shankari i used mainly for the overlaping sound effects and Psychedelic sounds Reason but haven't had time to mess with it (EQ,Compression) and for the 2nd part i dig-ed up some material i had sitting around....I'm up for collaboration if your down.
Thanks
Jake

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…

I can only imagine what they do to these creatures when they study them for science. I used to work for an AFB that conducted much research on chimps, pigs, cockroaches etc. One time PETA staged a giant circus before the gates to the base. I can only imagine what they knew.

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'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!

Hey, bro - Good to hear from you! Yeah, the rhythm git was a little hot because I always plug it in direct - All I have to record with for electric songs is pretty much an old Epi SG and a Boss Micro BR. Gnasty's lead was mic'ed with an SM57.
Anyway, catch you on the flip!

I thought it might be interesting to post the source material I used in the track [IX](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/ix-2). This is the file generated by my TMA-2 instrument that I processed to make IX.
If you're into this sort of noisy…
Another slice of Reaktor based weirdness from the particle collider ensemble I am tentatively naming TMA-2.
You can't tell from how it sounds I guess but the latest development is that particle energy now governs velocity, i.e. more energetic…
Another in my series of evolving sonic noise experiments.
The source for this piece was a recording from my latest Reaktor instrument [TMA-2](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyEEW-tCNL4) with a sample map constructed from [Richard Devines](http…
(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!
warning!!! this is a long 10+ min instrumental
It's a piece about 4 years old that was my first attempt at using synth voices,, I am still looking for a good one,, if anyone knows.
The music itself is a tone poem, loosely dedicated to a children…
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!
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
two recorders and a flute get together in the back of a countryside English church late in the afternoon.....
NOTE --- you may need to turn up the volume a bit for this...
piece #6 of a cd i am writing of early music

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.
This too was actually recorded from my midi controller playing the notes and then constructing chords out of them. All done again except the drums ( im no drummer).
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.
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…
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…
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.
Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…
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!
On youtube there's a short video clip of guitarist Shawn Lane (R.I.P) executing an extremely difficult chord voicing that requires extensive finger stretching, which Shawn calls "the hardest chord in the world." I altered the chord a little bit…
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!
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.

Oh no, really? Poor little unsuspecting creatures. Thanks for drawing it to my attention. Interesting and well done content.
Lots of boinnng and chirping. Cute! Lovely track.
clever title- i have a weird obsession with the word 'clover' (although i don't have a track named clover but soon)....nice track as well.
that monkey is coming for me if not sooner then later- hehe cool tune...bazzz
I was using Reason and Logic and he used Cubase for the beat(some beatcraft but minimal)...thanks for the comment bro.
dats tight dogg. jarufus
how did i miss this? i like the tune
front rubs & happy endings.

Hey Adam, we want to hear more of yer work bud. What's up?
What fun! Somehow missed this one of yours

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

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 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.

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.
