music Blurry Lights (cinematic post-rock/modern/neoclassical)

[Newbie 13]

Hello everypony!
I'm making music under the name Blurry Lights, since October 2012. I started the project as only piano, but later I added drums and recorded my guitar at some places, so it became more post-rockish... If you have some free time, please check it out and let me know what you think...

I'm currently in progress of making the 3rd album it will be available for free download as always, because making music is just my hobby.

I just released a new song! Called "Our Destiny".

You have some great potential in those songs dude. But the one thing that's turning me off is the lack of chordal varience and structure. Let me break it down for ya

(I have perfect pitch so bare with me)

 

"Our Destiny" was a good listen, but you're repeating that same cadence all throughout the song. One thing that can help to eliminate some of this repitition is the use of chord inversions. This way, you can have more harmonies and some brighter tones. 

 

Also, you bring the percussion in a little to hard on this one. I suggest slowly building it up. Start out with the strings. When the voices come in, add some very light high-hats and soft rides. A light crash cymbal could do here as well. 

 

In terms of sound, maybe add a tiny little edge of chorus to rid some of that dryness you have on those strings. 

 

For "Last Dance", variance also applies here. Also, the one thing that I would gripe about on this one, is the percussion. It takes away some of the value of the piece, which can defer your audience. Either limit the percussion to just light cymbal taps, or don't use it at all. I honestly would prefer if you only had cymbal rolls on this piece. 

 

You have a great start to your music, but I feel that with a little bit of time (and perhaps some coaching), you'll get even better.

Finally some feedback ^^ thanks a lot!

I will surely keep in mind your suggestions, though I like how it sounds now. I think it's about preferences anyway.

I will try to make it better on the next album, if it will happen, this one is already released on bandcamp (link is in the first post). The album is 7$ here, but check back tomorrow, I should have free credits applied again by then. If you wish to download it, heh

 

Thank you very much once again!

No problem! If you want, I can give you a little bit of coaching.

Thank you brother, but I think I can handle it myself
