Hi everyone,
I finally got into the creating aspect of music and wanted to share my efforts and keep track of my progress as well. I hope I can post songs frequently and listen to other users' music, too!
Here is the first track I posted on SoundCloud:

Every kind of constructive criticism is well accepted!

Hi halyke,
it's very nice for a 1st try. I really enjoyed the nice intro that sounds quite creepy and the originality of the music. It's always interesting to discover something new. Your track reminds me some video games I played during my childhood.
About technical improvements I prefer to let someone else answer as im not very familiar with this kind of music. In any case keep it up! Improvements are open to everyone who works hard!

The bass literally shakes my body through the headphones, so that's pretty neat. This is incredibly original, I hope you keep making stuff that's super out there and wild even as you get better with the software. It sounds very "Mother"-esque or like something that would be in Lisa the Painful RPG. The main thing I disliked about it was the drum part got kind of repetitive/overwhelming. The rhythm was interesting but I would add more dynamics, pan it to the right, and maybe reduce the volume or something to make it more pleasing to the ear.

I tried to follow the suggestions, so I tried to adjust the beat. Also, I added some "spoken word" (and changed the title), hope you like it!

Nice work. It has emotion and is quite a creative tune too.

I decided to re-record the vocals and put my previous songs together in a project! Let me know how you find it!

Much better. They kinda sound a bit clearer too.
But the one called
ignorance jaws nausea, the vocals don't sound too clear.
I guess that was intentional, to give an added spooky effect, to the track?
Concerning the artwork, that is some creepy art pics, you used for your tracks.
I will admit, you have a really unusual, spooky style in music.
