11/8 2 Requests for a new piece of music... (Also my 1st attempt at 11/8 time.)

Untitled score.pdf

Hey all! 

New here, so bare with me ... lol

To give a short description of the person who's requesting help here, I was previously a theory and performance student for Benedict College in SC. I dropped out in 2018, and only within the last few months have I started to get back into messing around with music theory and composition/arranging. I always did it as sort of a hobby, and have not had instruction in any capacity, other than my abilities to read and comprehend a music score, and my own learning as an autodidact for composition. 

The piece that's attached is my first attempt at writing anything in an odd time signature. This example is in 11/8 time, followed by a meter change to 12/8, then to 6/8, and (supposed to be) back to 11/8, but as you can see in the PDF, I am not done with composing this. I'm requesting 2 things of the community...
1. What should I name this score? Based on the thematic feel of it, what do you think?

2. Currently, disregarding any missing voices at this time, how is the structure of this score so far? Any mistakes that I should be aware of? 

I thank you all in advance for any positive, negative, or constructive feedback you may leave for me! I will post it in full once it's complete, pending any feedback on it. 🙂

Edit: MP3 Audio ends at 3:34. Exported the MP3 from MuseScore 4 Studio, so it exported the entire score, including the empty staves and measures. 

Hi @UncleRed99!

I don't know if you have finished this by now or not.  The thing that stands out to me when listening to this is that you pretty much stick to 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 groupings of 8th notes in this piece.  I think, at least for me, when composing in these kinds of weird meters, what I always find exciting is the capability to play around with the note groupings to keep the music fresh and surprising rhythmically.  Right now, it sounds kind of hypnotic in its repetition of the rhythmic patterns.  On the other hand it can also get stale after a while too.  Those are my observations.  Thanks for sharing!

I have actually! While I still stuck with the general 3/3/3/2 pattern, I believe I've made it work well, at the end of it. 

As Stated, it was my first time writing with this time signature. I was inspired by one of my favorite driving-music artists I listen to while I'm traveling. 

Band named "Plini", their song "11 Nights". It took me like 3 listen-through's to figure out it was in 11/8, since I'd never heard it before, and figured I'd mess with it in the orchestral genre. But if you would like to see the most up to date version of this piece, click here! It's in the forum 🙂 Comment there on the finished product, and lemme know if that's any better for ya
