Mannequin is an independent, experimental, industrial rock band. My music has been described as dark & disturbing, but simultaneously beautiful and honest. Full of revenge for scornful lovers, as well as disgust, self loathing, and regret. The debut album, "Denial Fixation" was finished in 2002. "Straining the Retina" is a concept album started in 2002, and although never officially released, the songs have slowly been surfacing in different forms. "Worn" is the current album for the songs I'm releasing now. I'm looking at releasing it physically and/or digitally later this year. Also see my page on myspace:
Band/artist history
Mannequin began in 2001, after my last project, Cathartic Distress, parted ways.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
No, I don't play out live; with only two hands - I couldn't possibly perform everything at once, and I think just me in front of a synth & computer would be lame. I welcome other musicians that are interested in collaborating with me to contact me. I've become more & more interested in pursuing a full band to implement these songs, or other originals. My priority is writing & creating music I enjoy. I love to play out live to help gain some exposure, and establish a fan base.
Your musical influences
NIN, Tool, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, blues & classic rock in general, Beatles, Doors, Faith No More, Hendrix, Sonic Youth, etc... so many more
What equipment do you use?
Shure SM57, Grove Tubes GT55 Korg Triton, Electric guitars: a couple of home-grown Fender Strats. Acoustic guitars: Simon & Patrick, Epiphone junker. Mackie 1202 Mixer Various Boss pedals. ... all converged into my Dell E510 PC... MasterTracksPro for MIDI sequencing - CEP for audio editing & tracking. Recently added a Mac G4 to the studio! ...also working on building another strat! :-p
Anything else?
