Hello everybody/anybody I hope all of you have been doing alright. This is part 6 of me posting my brother Kurt's music he passed away a year back. This song is called "Cigarettes on mars" I think it might've been the last song he ever wrote. I thank any of you who have listened to my brothers stuff in the past and have shown kindness. It really helps to see people connecting with his stuff I know he would've been happy to see so. Anyways I hope you guy's enjoy. God bless.

I've been grinding on a few tracks for the past year and finally decided to stop tweaking and just release one... Did everything myself (including mixing and mastering) with the sole purpose of differentiating from the standard overly-polished track of which we have enough today. I really wanted to go to my first musical love and that's 2000s rock vibes. Plenty of influences to pick from but Placebo, Incubus, Finch and (OG) Soulwax are definitely high on the list.

It's not my first release but it's very much a new angle for me so I'm eager to hear what you think and if you hate it, I' d love to know why so I can improve the next release. 😅

If you don't have Spotify, feel free to listen through another service: https://ffm.to/enjoy-the-ride-single

I'd love to listen to your tracks! Do me a favor and listen to one in return! Here's the link to my latest album, pick any one you want! :)

VOLUME WARNING
A little something I made futzing around on bandlab! I want to port it into reaper since my laptop just came in today from being repaired!! I got some advice from music feedback and tried to apply it, like lowering the bass some EQing and making the song a little more focused, but obviously theres still a lot I can improve. I tried automation but I may have messed things up more cuz listening back some stuff is a little too loud. For the “i feel myself losing power” something feels off besides my pitchy ass vocals lol. Should I make that segment in a lower key or slow down the bpm of the song overall to alleviate it, or is there something else I could do? I think all the other lyrics fit into a pocket nicely but I want to improve that part without changing the words themselves too much. I’d love any advice be it technical or à matter of taste . I want this song to feel more alive if that makes sense? Thanks if you give me a listen.

Lyrics if that interests you:

I made a fatal mistake
I made an awkward mistep
I forgot to plug myself in
And I overslept

Still I've got to go I know that
Don't have the minutes not a second I can't go back
But I know I'm out of time
Beep and a “low battery sign”

Losing losing losing loosing
I feel myself losing power
All my mortal energy
All my mortal enemies
Choosing choosing choosing choosing
that I'd rather be devoured
All my mortal memories
All the mortal friends to me

Feels like if been rewired
I just skimmed the booklet
More reading required
Not a forum where I can inquire?
Think im rotting
Think I might expire

Losing losing losing loosing
I feel myself losing power
All my mortal energy
All my mortal enemies
Choosing choosing choosing choosing
that I'd rather be devoured
All my mortal memories
All the mortal friends to me
(Know-know-know im out of time)

Hello People.

Title says all. Just some quick background. I'm always late. I started teaching myself bass/music at 25 (parents refuted my childhood want/interest for an electric guitar)... Played in a few bands early on in my playing days (I wasn't very good). Completely quit bass for about a decade, moved abroad, wife, kids and all now. Decided to try to teach myself guitar in my late 40s (about 2 years playing now I'm guessing). Better late than never I suppose. So.. Now, I'm teaching myself guitar, songwriting and recording all on top of each other. It can be overwhelming, but the whole process is super slow. In short, if it's good - tell me. If it sucks - tell me. Or just say hi. All good. Oh, this song has an insanely long outro. I wouldn't expect anyone to sit through it all lol.

I'm not really a musician, but started to play with DAWs and to record what music I could come up with to lyrics I had in mind. Pray tell: do you like it? does it have any potential? tips for improvement?

I have been playing guitar for ~30 years, but only started to write something last year, and I have no musical background, so ofc it remains a hobby project for me, but one I'm putting some love into. All the best, brothers and sisters! Peace be with you!

Hello all! First ever Reddit post. Thanks for taking a moment to check out my music.

I originally wrote and recorded this song about two years ago. Gearing up to finally release it, and would love your thoughts on:

Mix: there’s a lot going on - does it need more space or does the extra full sound work? Any unpleasant distortion?

Vocals: considering re-recording some of them because my voice has seemingly improved somewhat since the original session and they are mostly from the first handful of takes.

Structure: no verses or chorus per se. How do you feel about the song’s flow through the different parts?

Please do let me know if anything else jumps out at you. I don’t really have any other music quite like this, and it’s a direction I’d like to investigate further.

Thanks so much for listening!

Ive been working on this song for a while now. I’d love to hear your feedback on my vocal performance - does my technique sound ok? Any ways I could improve? Thank you

This is a song from an album I recorded in 2018. I'm far past any production feedback since this was recorded 8 years ago, and I think I've gotten much better at recording music since then. But I'm still curious what people think of it. This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums I've worked on. Recently, I made a new YouTube channel for all of my music (both old and new) since my previous channel is a mess of gaming stuff and memes. And now that I'm going back through my old catalog, I'm just curious about how people perceive my music today. Hope y'all enjoy! I'm currently working on a new album, but I don't have anything from that project I want to share just yet. But soon I'll be back with new stuff!
