Critique my music . . .

Post by zfigz » Wed Jan 18, 2006 4:49 pm

you can check out some of my tunes at www.grassnose.com - advice would be greatly appreciated as I have only been making music for the last year via computers and with Live only the last 7 months or so.

thanks

I think it sounds interesting. What are the ideas behind it? Do the pieces tell stories?

the story...

Post by zfigz » Wed Jan 18, 2006 10:27 pm

Nice to know someone else is enjoying it...besides me :P . . .

As for if my tracks convey stories...the tracks where I used various dialogue samples I used them to give it a beginning, middle, and an end. Like on Best of Kin and Packaged Ice Cream they kind of tell a story in a way.

With Rabbit's Foot I tried to stop using so many voice samples and hopefully without them it still has some kind of structure.

Could anyone give me any tips on how I might improve my tracks?

thanks

I don't even know if I would think of your pieces in terms of 'tracks'. To me, that term signifies a more conventional outlet - 'tunes', if you will. You seem to be into soundscapes, audio storytelling in a broader sense.

Are you looking for any particular kind of criticism?

Hehe, well...there were no guitar pickings in any of my tracks and yes I've been smoking a lot of pot lately. I'm cutting back and starting to study some music theory, maybe that will help with the never ending intros.
