hey guys,

i make music for fun and i put together my first few songs ever into an EP. i know they're supposed to be 4 songs but i don't know what else to call it, music is so confusing and EP just sounds real cool you know?

download here

these are indie rock/electronic instrumentals (as best as i can label them, sorry), and you can probably tell i listened to ratatat and explosions in the sky a bunch while making these.

[image loading]

coverart by xeofreestyler, i love it so much

oh and for people too lazy to download:
+ Show Spoiler +
here's a clip of a song i put to minilogue's "Animals" movie that i thought fit really nicely.


let me know what you guys think! all comments appreciated, especially constructive advice and criticism i really want to get better

minialbum?
in the video, around 0:45 it sounds like it's not really on the beat. did you play it like that on purpose?
it's interesting though.

well, nations is okayish. you need to play with the drum patterns a little bit more. guitar work is ok, bass sounds are even better.

as for genre, this is indie/electronic music. EITS is post rock..i would not put you there, but nations is not that much away.

keep it up.

I like. Sent to my friends who listen to ratatat and they also like it! :3

What software/equipment are you using? I know a few people trying to do what you're doing but are stuck at the fl studio stage.

Very atmospheric. I'm not familiar with the groups you say you're influenced by (or even the genre), but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

First, I study modern composition (modern as in Claude Debussy and onwards) so this is not my perticular area and secondly I'm not that good at it yet.

Halogen:
I feel that the rythm is kind of disconnected. Maybe it's a part of the genre, or something you were trying to do, but I feel that the interesting guitar and the whole acompaniment would give of a much more confident vibe if everything followed the same beat/meter. I'm guessing that you press record and then play the sounds that you want and then try to mix them together, because I recognize the slight off beat feel from when I try to record instead of writing notes. Then again, it might be something you are trying to do, but honestly I think a detectable pulse would pick this track up instantly.

Nations:
No problems at all with the pulse here, and not too much I'd like to say. One thing that bugged me was the part around 3:12 were the (main?) guitar theme is playing and there's a sort of answer, also written in guitar I think. While the first answer fits in with the theme, the second which consists of two rapid notes feel syncopated/off beat or whatever, I wonder if you hear that as well, and if that's a concious choice by you. Either way, good melody/themes.

You are not alone:
First thing I noticed was that at 1:22 where the guitar picks up (I'd like to know what that style of playing is called, I basically know nothing about guitar), I felt that you should have prepared it, since the transition was not at all smooth, maybe with just two quick notes of the bass note in that chord, just so that you don't jump straight into it. The rest of the track has minute problems with what I wrote above about unneccesary "answers" that might not fit in perfectly and maybe some small divergence from the pulse.

This is after having listened a few times, I sincerely hope you take my fresh impressions to account and hopefully learn something from them. All in all, I think this is pretty good for amateur level, keep up the good work.
