i made an EP! - Page 2

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.
