Expanding Horizons

I made a song: http://soundcloud.com/defacid

Also, I think I'm gonna join this fraternity called Triangle Fraternity. They dudes in it are pretty awesome, and nerdy, and they aren't dicks. I always thought I'd never join one because in the movies everyone seems like a dick, but these are actually normal, personable people.

I haven't skated at all this year. This sucks. I feel like a loser.

I should be in bed right now, but I'm writing this blog. I got a lot of stuff done tonight though, I feel pretty productive.

I think I'm going to drop this dumbass Intro to Engineering Tech class for two reasons:

- I'm switching from EET to full EE, so it REALLY doesn't matter

- I missed one day in the three weeks we've had class because I had to stay home so that I could finally have internet access at my apartment and its the only damn day he has assigned any work so my grade is now terrible. I don't need to know about test anxiety and I don't need to be told that my professors' names are on my schedule. I feel dumber every time I leave that class.

The song is kind of… I don't know, I don't really like it, it feels… kind of placeholder, the synths don't form a coherent whole, a bit like trying to play a rock song or a beat of any sort on the piano (God, do I suck at describing music).

Also, you have the coolest name ever, but you've probably been told that already.

Yeah, I know it's not the best. I really just wanted some feedback to know how to improve it. I'm pretty new to music and I knew that something was wrong, and your comment helped me to realize part of the problem.

And, yeah, everybody loves my name… why is that? XD

Because we've never of that first name and that last name before, and for unfamiliar names they both sound pretty interesting.

Some feedback on the music: I listened to it a while ago and what I remember noticing was the lack of interesting sounds, and the lack of a proper bass line and melody. There were also no hihats iirc, which iirc could liven up the song a little bit, but not much.

yeeee good start for your first song. throw some samples or cut up some vocals over it to give it more depth. there's too much focus on the synths without other instruments/sounds to distract from it.

also fun fact, i always thought that name was too ridiculous to actually be your real name. so yeah this is news to me :P

Thanks guys. I think I'll do better on an ACTUAL ATTEMPT AT A SONG I'LL BE PROUD OF.
