A mall Mannequin sheds a tear.

Somewhere out there a Mannequin has just had a confidence booster by having heard this. It feels a little BioShockish though. Not that that's a bad thing. Again though you make my ears relish in enjoyment. Everything seems to flow. The beat maintains and pleases. It feels relaxing at first and then BAM! Welcome to a electronic masterpiece. 10/10 As always it seems. :)

If only the Mannequin had tears to shed. :(

Awesome!

Starts off really good when the chimes are going and the strings and eiree voices come in. I would have liked it better if it had kept its orchestral and cleanness with less synth and digital sounding stuff. By half way through the mood the chimes and strings had created was gone. It's heaps good how you make your songs with so many sounds and effects though... aweomse song IO.

The title alone, depresses me IO. . .

Then I read your description and laughed my arse off. As the song progressed (particularly around 1:50 or so) I found myself letting go of the "Mannequin" visualization and just hearing the song.
Although I initially found humor in the fact that this was written for an HOUR LONG composition for freakin' "Mannequin" for Jiminy's sake. After I let go of all pretentious, judgmental thoughts, it was, well a pretty intriguing song.
You are one strange bird, you know that? I guess I wouldn't have you ANY other way though. Ha! Thanks again for yet another musical journey to keep me company throughout my days and nights, Man. Until next time. . .

InvisibleObserver responds:

It was an odd theme, though there was a bit more to it then just "mannequin". The full concept was designated by another and generally was: "You are a mannequin in a mall and watch people walk by living their lives, what do you hear, think and wish?". Excessively artsy fartsy, and generally my only major adherance to it was a jibberish crowd of people like noise alongside chimes which usually get associated with dreams/wishful states.

The original piece was written in an hour, however this is the polished piece which was probably pushing near 15 hours of solid time investment. The vocal sound is a rather complex layer of instruments and samples hooked up in weird ways to EQ properly into the song in a variety of ways all interchangeable throughout the song.

I guess given the theme, this is a sad song really.

cool

it sounds like wind at first

InvisibleObserver responds:

But then surprise, its music. :P

lovin it

it is awsome,i will always remember this 2nd best song i ever heard

InvisibleObserver responds:

Oh my. If you like very non-mainstream electronic music, you may have an ear for some of my other works.
