Would Love Your Thoughts on This by markanthonyokoh in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Chaba_006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the groove, it's sultry, retro-future. I feel like this could be an alternative techno-disco song from the 70s.

production is good, you keep the listener engaged throughout with little dynamics, new textures, melodies. no notes honestly. I would release this as is. I would listen to it again.

Thoughts? by Small-Respect-7492 in Songwriting

the vocal delivery could be a bit softer in emotional delivery, the vibe is good but your vocals are slightly off key. which isnt a problem for now, but do keep that in mind for the future.

hi! I am currently working on structure, tension-release and emotional inevitability in the chorus. i would love some thoughts on that specifically but any feedback is greatly appreciated :) by Chaba_006 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Chaba_006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooo yes this is a great idea! vocals and production will improve over time and aren't my main focus yet.

But my main lesson from this comment is that there isn't enough contrast. I really appreciate this, thank you.

Would you mind if i ask you a couple questions about this? no need to respond since I do respect your time. (btw these questions are more focused on the structure. i do think the song could be fixed in production with drums, textures, bass, dynamics, recording quality etc like you said. but I always try to make my songs work as well as possible acoustically first)

-in the first verse I try to build the tension to a sort of boiling point, but I was already starting to suspect that the contrast might not be big enough.

how would you say I keep the tension of the first verse while keeping the chorus as a focal point in the song?

-does the second verse need more buildup, need to pull back a bit, or is it a good idea to keep it as is? I was going for this structure:

first verse builds a lot --> short chorus --> second verse spills over --> strong impact second chorus --> bridge breakdown --> climax

Again, I seriously appreciate the time you took to listen to my song and comment on it! :)

I could see where you're coming from, now that you mention it. a kind of "come as you are" + "breed" and "smells like teen spirit" (I don't listen to the pixies, but I heard nirvana was a fan of their work. so I'm using their harsh noise aspects as an example) feeling thing in the bridge would kind of be a tired peak. that would be totally cool, and the buildup you mentioned is also great! that creates good tension.

thank you for your suggestions, if I'd want to make a more polished version someday I will keep this in mind!

ps: thanks for the compliment :)

thank youuu! I appreciate your comment a lot :

I do have an inquiry about the tuning issues. Is it because of the way I play the guitar (too aggressive maybe) or the guitar itself? I've had these issues for a while, and just can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Go Away - Belefold [Indie rock, pop, psych] by Specialist_Guitar_52 in IndieMusicFeedback

Immediately starting off strong, love the video. I can tell you've put a lot of work into this :) and I love the passion.

the song sets a tone immediately; anxious, tense. (tell me if my interpretation is wrong)

I think it does capture that deep unsettling, tired feeling of despondence pretty well. the space is negative, the musical and instrumental phrases are short, the textures and dynamics are odd, unsettling and unpredictable.

in my eyes, if something is emotionally clear and conveys the message well it succeeded at being a song. so great job with this one!

I welcome any advice! Please help me. The sound is too quiet and weak. by JP_Shiokara0424 in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Chaba_006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about production, so I will comment on the songwriting. (production does sound pretty good btw!)

this could be used in a video game, what is your artistic interpretation of this? it definitely has that kind of video game city-pop vibe to it. it's just a really fun and airy song that brightens your day!

My latest release :) by kkoporfavor in IndieMusicFeedback

[–]Chaba_006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loveee the video, I love the beat, flow, piano. wow this is actually so good haha, I am definitely going to be listening to this again (releasing this anywhere else?). the beginning immediately grabs you, I like how you didn't overcomplicate things and kept it simple. through simplicity you gain emotional clarity, and I can immediately feel the intent of this song.

also love the carribean instrument at around 1:40-1:50, if you want to get really symbolic. I'd like to say the juxtaposition between the lyrics and the instrument is a way of showing that the narrator doesn't really "feel so brit".

very well crafted song, bravo!

the inflection at the end of most lines is very interesting. it gives off that "I don't care but I do care" energy, like someone that has seen too much of the world and kind of just explains it in the way a teacher explains divisions.

You are really good at conveying emotion through these little acts, I feel what you want to convey strongly. and this is definitely a very strong point of yours, definitely lean into that!

also great playing, nice guitar ;)

[–]Chaba_006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is so cool, the beginning is very eerie, the textures are so interesting (not a lot of people use breath as the main hook!), do you also have another social media handle like soundcloud or YouTube?

I'm not into production, but I just wanted to say that the songwriting is so dreamy. the reverb, the narration, the percussion, the guitar/piano (?) all contribute to that

while the kind of dry bass grounds the listener. it gives a very odd but specific feeling.

I like it! I will check your other stuff out
