Ozark Soundscape (and my other musical projects)

Obviously not a joke. But not an album i would play.  Sounds like a few ideas rather than a finished album

I did not say you cannot take criticism, I said you need to take it with more grace. In other words "do not rise to the bait" - acknowledge it, learn from it and move on.

^ You really need to take criticism with a lot more grace.

I mean, I like free jazz wich is total improvisation but I can't consider it as pure art. I just consider it as fun or interesting because free jazz is based a lot on listening to the others around you and trying to fix an ambience. And I'd say that if someone with no musical knowledge can do the same kind of thing you do, it's horrible and insulting to true artists.

If I was you, I'd not put so much emphasize on a hobby and if you really live for music, than you'll need to work to get to the tops. I see you like more avant-garde/modern music but it isn't music out of nowhere, it's also based on rules and I think you should learn your basics at first. You would probably appreciate it even more if you put your mind to it. So, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but I still find it really not good.

These were all made over 4 months, but I would estimate that it took me, in total, about 5 hours in total to write, rehearse, record, and mix all of these. It may not seem like a very long time, but some of these songs I really slaved over. Some of them took take after take, edit after edit, and some caused a great deal of stress. But more importantly, that harsh comment really hit me. This is what I want to do with my life. This is my passion and my way of self-expression. My music is almost everything to me.

I mean, seriously. how would you feel if you put your emotions, ideas, effort and time into something you were really proud of, showed it to someone, and they said that to you?

Yeah, I barley used any actual technique in Sing. You're forgiven 

Thanks! Not all soundscapes, tho. I'm pretty eclectic
