Ozark Soundscape (and my other musical projects)

It's out!

I didn't listen to the entire thing, but so far it's good! I wouldn't regard it as a 'joke', I always liked the savant-garde sound scape type stuff. So good job!

Interesting. 

So far I'm liking it more than Musi C. The highlights for me are the bluesier songs, and "I Remember" is great. 

The new album is out!
Follow the link in my signature to listen!

I actually liked "Symphony No. 1, Mvmt 4." I made my first demo "album" when I was your age, and while it was a lot more accessible, it wasn't near as interesting as what you've got here. A couple things I will tell you:

The "rules" of music theory are there to create a desired aesthetic product, not necessarily a basis on which all music is or should be based. I do very much agree, though, that you should learn basic music theory and try writing more conventional stuff to form a musical awareness of sorts, an awareness of what you are doing artistically with every detail in the music, the purpose for which they function, and how they affect your audience, how the piece as a whole affects your audience. This is very important in all music, especially music that defies peoples expectations. The best composers from Bach to Cage did this. This is not to say stop doing what you are doing. Keep experimenting and keep doing this stuff. But also experiment with conventional stuff. Also, try and transcribe songs and pieces you enjoy. With more complex pieces, research how their written. Try your hand at different compositional methods. Last thing, take your time creating. It can be a long process. Scott Walker had three albums that were over 10 years apart. I'm not saying it will take this long, but don't expect everything to be finished in five hours.

Anyways, don't be discouraged if people don't like your music. It takes a little bit to figure out what your doing, and what you want to do.

BTW, my debut is on Rate Your Music if you feel like rating it
