Synthesist Jeanie shared this live performance of Showroom Dummies. Not the classic Kraftwerk track of the same name, but an original song, with Buchla 200e modular system accompaniment.
Here’s what Jeanie shared about the technical details:
Performance setup: Buchla 200e system + Buchla Music Easel + KeyStep Pro + Strymon blueSky
Lyrics:
Showroom Dummies
through the window, there‘s a reflection
alter ego, a void expression
the pain lingers inside leaving no traces
words behind lips, muting in silence
deep in shadow, be with illusions
running echoes, a maze of direction
the tears pour down blurring out faces
enfolded by mist, blocking in distance
now strike a pose, flesh cracking
sway on bones, crowds watching
as cold as stone, hands clapping
false alarms yell under red light
standing in line
all the showroom dummies
hush be quiet
all the showroom dummies
This is good stuff! I’ve seen Jeanie’s music clips on Instagram and she is really talented. Nice to hear a full song by her.
Wir sind schaufenster puppen
Cool melodic things. Tones & textures are spot on. Fun spooky groove.
I think Suzanne Ciani should link up with her. Mentor her even. She gets it.
bezaubernde jeanie, nice electro chill pop moments.
