I think this track deserves a comment, xNima.

It sounds different. That's a very good thing. Has good intensity and energy. I like the way it transitions from the relatively quiet first section to the main section.

I do think the chord sequence gets repetitive, though, which is what I think you suggested in your description. I didn't check out the loop you mentioned, so am not sure if the chord sequence was determined by that loop. If there's only one loop to work with, that can be very limiting. At least, that's my experience.

I really prefer tracks that have a structure of some sort. Doesn't have to be V, V, Ch, V, Br, Ch or variations of that, but something more than just a repetition the same chord sequence from beginning to end.

I guess there are genres of music now that work fine (funk doesn't have lot of variation usually - can even be just one chord!), but I favour a structure that introduces distinct sections that perform different roles in the track. Of course, that's a lot harder to do as a producer. Generally, it takes more musical knowledge and definitely takes more work in creating a track that hangs together and that handles the transitions well.

I'm very guilty of not working to ensure variation and develop good structure in my tracks, which is why 99% of them never get completed and 99.99% never get posted here or anyplace else.

Your track was really good. Not the "same-old, same-old". I'd encourage you to extend your production efforts to building a more varied structure in your tracks.

I, for one, would really like to hear what you can do.

Dear Eric,

Thank you very much for your kind words!

You are very right, looking back at this I totally agree that I made this song turn out way too repetitive. I am not sure if you have heard the full version on my SoundCloud account too, but even that version gets boring listening to very quick.

Notice that I tried to slightly vary the progression throughout the main part as it switches from minor to major and back, plus adding that admittedly kinda weird last bar of the main part.

In my final version I added a break, followed by something like a bass solo which uses a different chord progression, though. That was my attempt to get some kind of structure into the project. Still, I agree that the entire song could use some more variation.

I also agree with you that it's probably not that simple to create music that's versatile and still works as one unit.

Nevertheless, I am grateful for your praise and I appreciate your opinion on my music.

I am definitely going to listen to some of your creations too.

Lia
