Groovy! The slight dissonance in those chords is quite tasty.

i like those 13th ish chords and nice drum grooves. sorry u lost hope in it, there is def smth here. maybe it needs a conceptual theme to grow beyond a jam (like what do u want it to be about, that usually gives me lots of inspiration where to take things) but otherwise it's a really nice vibe, I enjoyed it.

Cool sounds overall. It has plenty of neat variations and iterations throughout and is lots of fun to listen to. If you're not happy with it I can only imagine it didn't flow the way you needed it to? I hope someday you feel like revisiting it, as with this cool of a start, I'm sure its final form will be impressive.

This one gave me some japanese early PS1 vibes, like some kind of breakcore muzak thingie. A lot of interesting moments here, though I get what you mean when you get tired of a song

The dubby / jungly bassline around 2:30 is dope

Cheers. Everything I do tends to be inspired by the weather. I don't know why I don't just make it my thing because it's that song a connection.

There are times, like with this tune, where it feels like it's going in 12 directions at once, and ends up not feeling like a convincing whole, if that makes sense.

You could imagine a Japanese musician pulling in all those late-90s influences together and giving it an idiosyncratic twist. It wasn't a deliberate choice on my part though, can't claim that one.

That makes TOTAL sense! I rarely have a plan for tracks when I start, and if I do, it's a hook or a melody with no other thought for where to take it. Developing a single idea into a full, multi-part track feels like I'm just throwing things wildly into the stew and hoping for the best. Usually I get a mess.

Sometimes (and it doesn't always work) I will literally keep every idea I have and shoehorn it into the track somewhere. Then I will listen to it on repeat during my long commute to work. Invariably something will start to annoy me or my subconscious brain (distracted by the act of driving) will zig when the song zags, and that's when I make a note to change that zag to a zig. Once the track no longer annoys me after repeated listens, I feel better about calling it done and moving on.
