Check out some of my music! Upbeat Cyberwave!!
@AvalonFlame I'll give it a listen and tell you what I think :)
Want to check out mine? I do several different genres, but this one's electronic - hard to put a finger on the exact subgenre, though. Electronic rock might be the closest? IDK. https://soundcloud.com/red-fifth/destroyer-of-worlds
@IrelandTorin listenign now!
@IrelandTorin hell yeah man, your shit is great! Its right up my alley.
@AvalonFlame Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Here's my thoughts on yours:
You've got some serious rhythm; excellent job on the percussion! You're definitely *much* better at percussion than I am; percussion's almost an afterthought in most of my stuff.
In that respect, your style is the opposite of mine haha; I focus almost exclusively on melody.
To me, your stuff sounds a lot like industrial, techno, or some hybrid of the two!
Just out of curiosity, when did you get into writing music?
@AvalonFlame By the way, based on the kinda stuff you write, I bet you'll really like this one:

It's upbeat, cheerful, the melody might get stuck in your head, and IMHO it slaps when cranked :)
@IrelandTorin yeah dude, i love some 8bit shit. haha right on!
@IrelandTorin most of the bands i used to be in were "shitty punk rock bands" always original. sometimes we'd cover like maybe one song at the end of a good show, like a big favorite. but not usually.
@AvalonFlame Anyway, I have to be up for work early in the morning tomorrow, so I should probably sign off for the moment. Thanks for the chat, 'twas fun!
If you have more to say, I'm sure I'll have time to respond some time tomorrow. Have a nice evening! :)
@AvalonFlame Oh, that's interesting! Perhaps the punk scene is a little different than the genre scenes we have locally. I suppose that probably helped you gain experience with songwriting as well!
There's nothing wrong with writing a bunch of bad originals; you can't start writing good songs without first writing a metric ton of really awful ones :P
