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…
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!
Compositionally this song started out with the drum pattern and grew from there. I'm not sure why I chose the title 'Mad Man' but in some ways I thought it was fitting.
Anyway, this song is dedicated to crazy geniuses whose academic work is…

This has got me all nostalgic!!!!
Sega Master System....
Revisited!!
The game Composers were Awesome Musicians!!
Little to work with... But Still made it sound Good!
8-Bit Goodness!!!!

Haha. I used some samples of disco drums from my old keyboard for my latest track. They might be overcompressed. The track sounded really good to me last night before I uploaded it. Upon listening some more to it I hear room for improvement. I like to experiment with sounds that I previously would have skipped right over, i.e. disco drums. I hope I did Jimi a little bit of justice with this here little homage.
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.

those are all good points. I thought about putting more crowd noise in during the song; I should experiment more with that. This piece would benefit from more percussion, but there are several tempo changes in there and I don't have good drum samples for that. The midi drums on my software sound like sh*t so I decided just to pull the track out of the oven and serve it up as it is.
When are you going to post more tracks? I want to hear what else you've got to offer us.
And let me know when you're ready for the robot voice sample.

VERY nice, man.
Thanks for the comments; i'll remix so no time at o that last'n
bless you and your dear ones today.
...and, yes, those kids and i share a lot of love; they can be pretty amazing; its a good therapy : )
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…
Comments on Mannequin Races's stuff
cool.
>:=+
Love the bass line to this!
Oh, yeah - A head scrambler!!
Oh, those kick sequences are definitely a Mad Man letting loose! Great piano patch - That really made this I think. Sweeet!
Yes - I love it. Very brooding sound, but I suppose that's how a dishwasher should be!
This has got me all nostalgic!!!! Sega Master System.... Revisited!! The game Composers were Awesome Musicians!! Little to work with... But Still made it sound Good! 8-Bit Goodness!!!!
This is very engaging! Love How this is Put together!!! Perfection in a short burst!
This makes me Go all Funny with the Effects... You Rule!!!!!! Goose bumps as well... Dont know why....
You are a true artist, stunning sounds here.
very cool sounds.
The drums would sound very cool with some ping delay, bouncing from left to right and then back again.
Haha. I used some samples of disco drums from my old keyboard for my latest track. They might be overcompressed. The track sounded really good to me last night before I uploaded it. Upon listening some more to it I hear room for improvement. I like to experiment with sounds that I previously would have skipped right over, i.e. disco drums.

Thanks for your comment! The vocals were recorded using an MXL 4000 mic.
Cool! I dig that ultra fuzz tone. Give us more tracks buddy.

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.

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