[Queer As In Fuck You]

i do like the message behind this piece, but the main melody could use some work (not sure if dissonance was what you were going for, but it kinda ruined whatever atmosphere you were building, if that makes any sense)

the rest of the piece is excellent tho

maybe try a few lessons in music theory, that might be of great use to you

anyway cya

edit: i do appreciate you trying to be different with this piece, and invoking feelings (of some kind), but the lack of a coherent melodic "tone" gives me feelings of discomfort (if that's the right word for it) so a way to improve (and sorry if i come off as pissy) trying to stick to some kind of scale and experiment in a way that doesn't bring down the rest of the song

all of the above is just my opinion based on what I have learned from composing stuff myself

also if you're curious i found this song using the enby tag (this was the only other song on there besides my own lol)

zybor responds:

:3 Thank you for checking out this track. I like to experiment with different ideas even if they often don't come out as expected. These ideas give me framework for future work that build on similar principles that I discovered via experimental projects and through feedback such as yours. I also welcome mixed feedback on the work because everyone have the freedom to express and interpret the work however they need.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the training nor education of music theory like most folks on this community, and the stuff I compose are guided by emotions, as in I write it however I feel instead of basing on structural or rigid workflow. This allows maximized creativity and imagination that I could express to the fullest. Thus sometime the work can be chaotic or even unpredictable, but they are meant to be expressive. I cannot write something if I don't feel the work.

Also, NG is not exactly a queer-friendly place so I try to keep a low profile on here and only express through music. I do my best to feature queer musicians on my profiles sometime. The only time people share sometime related to LGBT2Q+ on NG is for jokes or to harass. While I have been on here for long time, I don't feel safe around some people here at all.

Thank you once again for your constructive criticism, friend. Hope you have a good week. Take care! :)

[Missingno (Wing Tech Remix)]

it has a different feel from the original, one that i literally cannot explain

Winkwing responds:

I was trying to go for a bit more of a creepy-ish vibe, hence why I used 4 different pokemon cries in the background at certain parts faded out a bit to try and make the feeling of desperate pokemon crying for help.

Either way, hope you enjoyed!
Had a lot of fun making this and I do plan on doing more!
