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…
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…

good shit! so early pink-floyd at first then it goes into what seems like a tuba-happy dance with chickens on fire...cool,different and phase changing track.
Awesome!!!

haha, i like this, happy, chaotic, a bit menacing perhaps. great use of what reason has to offer to make sounds that are unique and interesting.
i like the direction you are taking with your electronic stuff.

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!
Incredible - had to really think about this, but it didn't take long to identify the feeling. Inside my pleasure at the interesting sounds, I found something else: a feeling of being left out. Strange, no? Left out of what? Nonsense! But, maybe ... of the process of its realization? Another side to that feeling: I want to take it apart, as though it were an interesting machine, and hold each of its components in my fingertips and turn them in the light, and wonder about their material, their origins, and their conception.
Hey, you asked.

My first composition that uses an odd time signature for a few measures. My drum fills are also more elaborate. It's just a little tune to bob your head to, tap your toe, you know, the good stuff!

A song about falling asleep on the couch, so there is no mystery to it! But the loose change is in the cushions, lights and tv are on, and the oven has been set to 350 for several hours :)
One vocal & acoustic take with a harmony and noodle…
Creepy vocal effects! I was waiting for this to bust out all death metal but it never did. Nice guitar. I couldn't make out the 'lyrics' that well but I felt like I was taking part in some ancient ritual or something!
There's a few things going on here in this little all MIDI experiment. First, I wanted to
show an example of artistic clipping to go with my current posts in the forums on the
subject.
The kettle drums in this piece clip in to the red on their…
Nicely done. Awesome cinematic feel to it but somehow it makes me feel nostalgic! It's like it was written in the past. Crazy. Very cool. Very nice for an all MIDI production.
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to all things midi related. Recently got myself a midi keyboard though and came up with this short piece just messing with sounds in Proteus. Really looking forward to the possibilities of combining this sort…
Great to hear that your adding midi to your setup! If definitely opens up a whole new world. Better watch out or you'll become addicted!. Nice sounds in this. Very rich and immersive. I like the water droplet type sounds.
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
That Zoom HN4 sounds really nice! Makes me jealous! I just have a Zoom H2 but it's pretty good also. Some really nice and beautiful guitar playing here. Thanks for listening and commenting on my newest song.
This track was made for someone else's promising independent videogame project. The project went horribly wrong, and I sat on an unfinished version of this track for more than a year. I finally decided to fix it today.
As you listen, picture…
This is an instrumental celebration of numbers such as 4 and 650. If you do not like 4 and 650 you can pretend it's about your favorite numbers instead, I won't mind so long as you don't go around pretending that I wrote this piece for 33 or 550.
This song will be used in the soundtrack of a videogame about things that explode. However, nothing in particular is supposed to explode while this music plays.
I have been away from all the music-making stuff for way too long, but I think it…
Thanks for your tip on using the terminal to record an aiff file. That's pretty sweet. Now to comment on your song; I really like how this pumps along. The main synth line is great. It takes some unexpected turns that I wasn't expecting! This is really well crafted. I'm a complete sucker for video game sounds! What did you use to make them? This has a really nostalgic feeling to it. Fantastic stuff!
I recorded this one to a dimming flashlight on the 25th after a windstorm took out my power. I couldn't see the lyrics anymore so I ad libbed and hummed the rest out. My recording device is battery operated, which is cool.
This predicament…
Great back story to this song. I can picture a string section playing along to this. Great imagery of you sitting by the flashlight recording this as the wind howls outside. Nice guitar sound. What mic did you use?
Another one from the dusty special price bin! It started off as a Pilot cover, but it didn't end up that way.
Dave Berry added the excellent tele solos and the crazy cool noises at the end. Thanks bro, you rock!
I spent more time on this…
That's pretty rad. Great recording with the Boss Micro. Excellent guitar by Dave. Such a fab collab. Cool guitar sounds. Groovy vocals, well performed. I dig it, big time.

Great guitar sound. Nice vocals. Great lyrics 'we'll walk this lion cage.' This is a treat! I love the simplicity to your tunes. Nice and bare bones with nothing extraneous. I've been gravitating towards music like this lately!

I love the intimacy that this track has. I feel like I'm in the same room with you performing this. Well done! This is fantastic that this was one take. Very nicely recorded. It's very warm.
The guitar is great when it comes in at 1:21! For some reason this sort of has a Dave Matthews Band groove to it which dig. Nice lyrics and vocal delivery.
Great guitar playing! This one has lots feeling to it. I was bobbing my head along the whole time. I'm not much of a lead player so I like listening to other people who can play lead! Well done tune!
We call this Beat-box ghosts (the prog-fu mix). A fun collab between Osckilo and myself. Osckilo had this song he did called Ghosts, all done beat-box. I had to ask him what beat-box meant, I had no idea. I took his original track (just his…
A typical folk song.
Written and recorded in about an hour for the 24 hour album (attempted on March 13th). Excuse roughness and vocal glitches, it was 2am and this was my first full take.
Thanks to montgomeru for his chord suggestions…

listening to this makes me feel... happy and I found it enjoyable.. fucking awesome
Omigosh, this is racing-heart fantastic. The fast changes are perfect.
wow, that took an unexpected turn. great to hear real instruments and the circus gone crazy vibe. I like it!
I knows dat dude da tuba man. is dis symbolic like tambourine man?
Very cool!

Where dat tuba man be at?
yes this is the good stuff!!
Where dat Tuba Man?
Wow, those sounds are just beautiful. Really interesting and dense, with a fascinating structure and great movement. Maybe a bit short ;-)
I dig, bro. Very tight and full of energy. And it flow along great for all the sounds you have packed in there! Nice!
Impressive mixing. With all the clashing around with all the different noises and textures, nothing gets lost.

This one takes a little while to get going but once it does it's all good. Well done!
Great instrumentation and composition. A very enjoyable piece of music!
Great harmony vocals. Cool lyrics too. I kept waiting for the full band to kick but I like the sparseness of this one.
Creepy vocal effects! I was waiting for this to bust out all death metal but it never did. Nice guitar. I couldn't make out the 'lyrics' that well but I felt like I was taking part in some ancient ritual or something!
Dedicated to SD. I love it. Awesome western feel to this. Very groovy. Fantastic chord progression. I dig it.

Really like this one! You have a very nice distinctive style! So... how does one get into writing music for video games?!
The more I dig into your catalog the more I like it! Once again, I love the video game type sounds. Very cool.

This one has a really nice full frequency spectrum. It sound very lush and full. I dig the bass.

Simple and Serene. Great chord progression. Love the vocals.
