Sounds Like
Things that go "bleep" in various melodic ways, old technology, that synth-pop band next door that never made it, and a singer who's best friend is multi-tracking.
The Manitou has been recording electronic music since 1998, producing home-made CD's sporadically. In 2005 he completed his debut album. A love of analogue synthesizers, and the music made with them past-and-present, are his main inspiration.
The Manitou's music is chiefly a marriage of retro and modern electronica; in various moods from synth-pop, dark electro, to house grooves and upbeat dance.
Instruments used: Novation K-Station, Roland Alpha Juno-1, Akai S1000, Roland SP-404, Yamaha CS-5 and CS01, Crumar Performer, vintage rhythm boxes, Boss DR-220 series, toys and circuit-bent gear, various classic drum machine kits, sampled noises, and a few VSTs.
He hopes some of the noises are to your liking.
Yours robotically,
-TM, 2007

Hey The Manitou, hope you're having a great day! Say, do you believe in God? If so, do you think it comes with a tangible science we can hope to understand one day, or should it remain a mystical concept?
