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…
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...
This is a little short piece with some glitch and some fuzz guitar. The track isn't too inventive but I like how everything fits together. Comments and criticism are welcome. Thanks for listening and reading.
I've been testing out a new synth by Propellerhead Software called Parsec. My short song consists of four tracks of Parsec's with four different custom patches that I have created for it. It's basically a sic-fi/space/ambient instrumental…
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 is a song I wrote for a girl I liked... I even performed a stripped down acoustic guitar only version for her. She loved the song but didn't exactly reciprocate how I felt. I'm a nice guy and she likes bad boys. Wish I could change that…

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.
This song goes all the way back to my roots of writing music mostly on acoustic guitar and recording/playing all the instruments myself. Also my first 'proper' recording in my new studio space. Thanks for listening!

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.
One in a series of trip hop beats that I am making from samples that I recorded with an ensemble in January, of Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire". Although we never got to play our "Pierrot Redux" in live performance, let nothing go to waste. I dedicate…

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'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.
