First Track In Over A Year

[SeanWhelan]

Hey Everyone,
Besides designing cards I have a huge passion for producing music. Here is a track I've been working on these past few days. Would love some feedback!

Thanks!

I thought it sounded like hip-hop and goth had a baby and this was the result...  That's not a bad thing!


But the track did feel a little monotonous to me.  Predictable pattern - heck, you could see the wave forms in some sections identically matching others.


Some good vocals might boost this recording; something beautiful to break up the mechanistic qualities of the instrumentals.


But if you're going instrumentals-only, consider breaking up that predictability of the patterns.  Maybe something baroque-like, to suit the gothic feel - add an element, then another, then another, et cetera, build to a high point, gradually strip one element, then another, then another, et cetera, until you have nothing left.  Depending on the order used for inserting and removing elements, you can have a sound that is more unique and a lot less monotonous.
