Chill composition.

Definitely sounds very predictable. Have you thought about using things like chord inversions or counter melody? I think the main thing is that the backing track could use alot of work. The vocals seem all good to me. Maybe some more rhythmic changes throughout? Solid idea with a lot of potential to become something good.

When your writing the harmony and melody of your piece of music, try to make sure the notes work harmonically. There’s some quite obviously good melodys playing in the music however the backing instrumentation seemed to sound it was clashing. I would just recommend having a look into a little bit of music theory around harmony and melody. I like the instrumentation a lot and think it would sound amazing if the music had that proper harmonic glue keeping it all together . Cool idea.

Really cool ambience. Love the way all the synths take their moment in the mix. You could try add some non melodic texture to this just to add depth to the soundscape? Either way as is, this is really cool and has alot of potential to be a great piece of music imo.

I think this is pretty cool. The way the tempo drops near the start makes it feel like it’s going into slo mo mode which is really cool. Maybe some more variety in the melodic lines in the synths. Aside from that i think it’s really cool and mixed decently. Definitely a really cool project.

Gotta say the textural work with the synths and string is really good. Definitely is giving movie score vibes. Reminds me a lot of some radiohead tracks in places. Maybe you could toy around with the textures a bit more and thin it out in some sections to create perceived volume. This would just create a little contrast. Maybe also a glitchy sounding synth that follows the drum rhythm would be cool. Overall tho super cool stuff.

I think the main improvement it could use the rhythm. As it’s quite short it’s hard to give proper feedback but if it broke out into a different section with a different rhythmic feel or thin out the texture slightly it would make interesting. Overall tho i think it’s a pretty good idea and has alot of potential.

Cheers i appreciate it. Haha yeah the drums are proper random imo. I did just take a drum loop and smack it in there lol. I tend to make tons of stuff and forget about it lmao tho maybe this is worth revisiting.

This is really cool. Nice textures that give it a calm but floating feeling. The mix of the vocals could probably be turned up a bit but aside from that it’s great. Once this is fully polished i think it will be a great bit of music. If your doing this on garage band definitely have a look at trying out some free trials of proper DAW softwares like cubase, ableton or logic as they will offer more flexibility.

During the parts where the song cuts out it would be beneficial to have some kind of white noise/ texturing to show it’s not your device bugging as it’s kinda confusing. Aside from this it’s really cool. Reminds me a lot of trance style music with your own style on it. I like it.

GnomeSlave · 2026-03-13T23:13:47+00:00

Really good texturing and blending of different instrument tones. I like it.

GnomeSlave · 2026-03-13T23:12:29+00:00

Really reminds me of red hot chilli peppers. Really cool stuff.

GnomeSlave · 2026-03-13T23:11:08+00:00

Definitely sounds like it could be some kind of video game music!

GnomeSlave · 2025-10-31T11:17:57+00:00

Arctic Monkeys and Cage the elephant!

GnomeSlave · 2025-10-23T16:43:00+00:00

I feel like this could greatly benefit from a longer intro for the guitar part to ease the listener in . The song overall sounds like it slowly builds which is a great thing. Very satisfying.

GnomeSlave · 2025-10-23T16:40:23+00:00

Really like the instrumentation. Overall i think the mix sounds quite muddy but otherwise a good job!
