I ment, there´s nothing to explore as a listener.
take BoC f.e. , you can just dive in and explore all these sounds...

Oh...
You mean dense production with all these sounds layered over one another?
And the fact you're comparing the music of a 15 year old to BoC is beyond me.

I kind of agree with Cupz. You're music is great, especially considering you're only 15 and most aren't even making anything decent by then, but as a suggestion, I would say try to make your songs more complex, and add more sounds. Personally, since I first heard your music a few months ago compared to the music now, I can tell the sounds are much better in terms of sound quality. Not that you can't have lofi sounds, but the use of those sounds and making them sound good has also improved imo.
I wouldn't say there's nothing to explore as a listener, but when listening to BoC I'm constantly hearing new things throughout the song and the whole sound in general kind of overwhelms me and submerses me in the the music. But keep in mind this isn't an easy thing to do as well as they do. I don't think there's any other musicians who do that same thing for me as well as they do. But it's just something that you may want to consider when making your music. You said yourself that your older songs you would finish in a few hours. There's nothing wrong with working at that pace, everyone has their own writing techniques, so I can't complain there. But why not work on a single track over the course of a few days and see where it takes you?
Keep in mind I love your music, this is just a suggestion.

Plus Shadow,
I HAVE been working on them for a few days.
Silver Platter took me about a week.
And Moth was about a month in the making.
I don't add anymore than I think I need to.
If it sounds good to me, then I put it up.
I'm not trying to go for atmosphere like BoC are, I'm just making what I want.

I didn´t mean to say "be like BoC" , its just an example on how to get your songs feel more...profecional (although I doubt that is the right word)

I have yet again a new one.
I think I was slightly annoyed by the comments and that's what fueled this track. It's not angry or anything but it's... like offkey instrumental electro pop almost.
Eat it out and see what you pplz think.

I was talking about your earlier stuff that you said you would work on for a few hours. But working on it for a few days (like Silver Platter) is obviously paying off because you are getting much better with your music. I never said you have to sound like BoC but if you are interested in taking your music in new directions, than that's one of the directions that you could possibly take it.
By the way I liked the new one.
Fri Feb 15, 2008 10:03 pm
Uh, I always am trying new directions.

I won't like it, but at least it'll be something.
Sorry, but I give up

Don't.
If you do, no one will be posting in this topic.
I just... felt like you guys were trying to control me, or if I didn't go this way you'd stop listening.
It's silly, I know. I should be changing my music for the better.
I just don't want the little audience I have to dwindle away on me.

perhaps you are relying on too much input from people. perhaps work on a few tracks for a month or so and come back and hit us with it.

this is good advice

I love you guys.
And thanks for the suggestion Hex, but I probably won't.
I never take any of the suggestions that seriously. >_>
I'm still cool, right?

I put up a short ambient piece.
Sun Mar 02, 2008 10:45 am
I sent some of my music into a radio program I listen to that plays experimental music.
Hopefully I get played, being played = exposhuuurrrrr!

I'd play some of your music on my radio show if you sent me a .zip of a bunch of your tracks!
