Hello, i have been learning composition in DAW for about one and half year.  Looking for honest opinion about my work and maybe some advice how to improve.  

I hope your ears dont bleed to much while listening 😅

I think the idea is interesting overall! The instrumentation is cool and I like some of the rhythmic ideas!

My main concern would be the musical "goal" of the idea. For me it seems to loop without any development. As a type of background music to say a video game, I think this type of piece would be a perfect for it! But if it were meant for a more "performance" type of music, then, I would look into how to develop ideas further!

As it is, it does not sound bad! I would like to ask, who are your influences and what type of music are you looking to write! Keep going!

Also, my ear did not bleed lol

Dude.... this is sick aF

For real, love the ideas going on here. You seem to get stuck harmonically after a while, but I know it's common for this type of music continue to build layers over a set progression or whatever. Branch out with your chord progression, you wouldn't even have to change a lot of the textures going on. 

Do you know much music theory? That will for sure help, as you'll learn what you're doing more clearly which will in turn lead you to possible ways of extending your piece. Otherwise, learning and perfecting an instrument helps too

BTW, stay away from samples if you can, you'll learn much more and get much better building your music from scratch. 

Remember to poke around on the forums and check out other's music too, you'll find people are very open about sharing honestly what they like and dislike, and you'll get more views and clicks bruh.

Welcome 🙂

Thanks for kind words guys! 

As for mentioned lack of development. I indeed feel like its occuring problem for me. When i try to forther develop a track it becomes too chaotic and sometimes it doesnt sound like continuation of a song but whole different piece. I just dont know how to do it properly. So until i figure it out i decided to stick to simpler repeating form.

I shall look into music theory you mentioned Thatguy. Maybe there, ill find the answer how to crack this nut😁.

Also im not sure if i understand term sample correctly. if sample means not single sound but premade bunch of sounds put together as one then i never used it. Feels like cheating for me😉

It's funny Guardian that you mentioned video games, because if one day i will be blessed by hearing my music in a game, that would be like dream come true for me, soo after all maybe im doing something right😁

And for the influences, there is alot of things but i guess 5 of the biggest would be: rock/metal, various folk music from around the world, electronic music(Hugo Kant, Neroche and soo on) rock/country(bridge city sinners, builders and the butchers etc) and video games/movie/orchestral (Two steps from hell, E.S posthumus etc)

Wish you all good day.
