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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Thanks for posting the song description. Very interesting. Extremely original. Well done, bravo!

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!

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.
