Hey, didn't see any thread talking about music people make themselves so I thought I'd make this thread. Feel free to post yours, comment on others etc.

A lot of my music is influenced by visual novels, or anime music. Also has influences of indie type stuff mixed in with electronic. Very atmospheric stuff though!

I have a bandcamp too. All my albums are pay what you want so you can download them for free or pay any amount you want.

Thank you for the comments!
And to Toodle, I may be writing some music for a visual novel, actually. We'll see if that goes through though.

Some unusual harmonies there but they work well I think, it makes it feel sort of sweet but also a bit eerie which is interesting.

Any part that is particularly off key? There's a few times an A and Bb are playing at the same time but obviously on purpose. I thought t sounded fine at least.

Your ideas sound like they're in a very low bit-rate or something? Too short to really judge them as well.

its DB glitch VST, also it sounds off key, its not. But i think that percussion is making it sound like that. Not that it's bad. It fits in a weird way.

I have two tracks where I've sampled anime. In one track I sample a Clannad speech, in another I sample a scene from Welcome to the NHK, and a scene from Ef in a different track but that's it. Everything else is just what I've made so I'll take that as a compliment. I really do love anime and video game OSTs so the influences do show up in my work.

Your music was very chill as well! Very relaxing stuff, I liked it.

Sure thing, Tom. I liked the bass in your song, its kind of dissonant but catchy at the same time. One thing I didn't care much for was the electric guitar sound. That type of distortion has never stood well with me, just not a fan of it. But that's more of a personal preference.

One problem I noticed in your song is that it seems like the instruments are trying to portray different things. I feel like the guitar has an adventure-type vibe to it while the bass is going for a dissonant darker feel to it, or at least it does after the intro part.

Maybe add some background pads too to help fill out the sound a bit as well? Not bad though, just giving some constructive criticism.
