So after sometime messing out (experimenting) lmms in order to make a music. Although I made one, I'm not really sure about identifying the kind of music.

You can say anything about it on what I did and how can I improve in making those. :)

Welcome to the forum ! First, For you, all important links:

And a few rules for posting and using the right sub-forum :)

Its a fine first track. There are as noted already, some problems with attack, which leads to click-artefacts, and you also need to look at resonance.
Im not sure if you meant to have the disturbing atonals, in order to build the melancholic and irrie wibe, but if you did not, you may like to read this

Thanks for your response. Yeah, I think the bell is too loud there. Hmmm there's one thing that made me curious though specifically the disturbing atonal part. (I think I made that by experiment.) It's intended to be some sort of sad music there. :)

This is an unusual sounding ambient type music.
It kinda reminds me a bit of the music Jarre and others made back in the early 90's etc.
It sounds kinda Christmassy.
It's interesting, how you put the melodies and bells nicely altogether.

There are some parts in the song, where the hit bell pitch sound, goes out out of pitch, and goes too loud,
with the rest of the track.
I must admit, that gives this track, an unusual organic sounding sound and feel.
Like if it's being performed live, in front of an audience. 8-)

I know in old Europe, back in the old days, the waaaay old days, (long before any of us were born :P )
they would sometimes, deliberately/undeliberately, use that atonal style with instruments
eg. Bell sounds or ringy type striking instruments, when rehearsing or performing Christmas Carols.
Deliberately using it perfectly well, is not easy. Lol!

The bell boy, would strike the bell, or other instrument etc. however he felt, (but in time with the singers)
while the choir children singers, were rehearsing/singing/performing Carol songs, in the local church etc.
And trying to hit a bell, in pitch, or not too loud, while the singers sang, was not easy. Lol!

Well, you failed there, because honestly, it doesn't sound that sad. Lol! 8-)

Despite all of that, this is a beautiful sounding track Wormy300. 8-)

Thanks for your comment :) I admit that I made a mistake about using that bell which is suppose not to put in b/b editor and should lower the volume.

Let's say it's rather a mixed emotion lol.

Quite nice. Some dark high-fantasy stuff. Dark and spooky but at the same time not really sinister. Makes me thing of haunted woods, mid afternoon. Haha. Adjust your attack on the bells, as you are getting a percussive click which is really jarring. Nice composition and arrangement, this composition would fit well in a Guillermo Del Toro movie.

Well done for your first lmms track. Keep it up.
