A dream, interrupted by thunder crashing, lightning jumping from cloud to cloud followed by an unprecedented slumber. Nevertheless this soul follows the same cycle till the end of time. This land is full of harmony and discord. This world is full of melodic light, as well as ferine shadows.

-=EDIT=-
I was just messing around on Garageband with a riff that I came up with on my piano, The piano is really sharp, but I kinda wanted it that way. I know the harmony and melody may seem to be a bit out of sync, but I'll work on that.

Keep in mind this was made to be a loop. My dreams are often calm, interrupted by nightmares and I hoped to represent that through this. I also sleep to this, and only this, which is why I tried to make it a decent loop haha. But yes, if there's anything wrong, especially with the mastering and you can show me what to do on FL, I'll gladly fix it two weeks from now.

harmony

it needs some kind of harmony to fill the bits of emptiness here and there i also agree with solkrieg that the note placement could be a bit more regulated some of it dosent work to great over all its good but can definately be better

Well, where doesn't it work? I tried to link chord to another chord. I'm thinking towards the end though, right? Well, could you try a stab at it and show me what you mean? I might be a little blocked cuz I know it this way. D:

Also, I'm working on trying to create harmonies, but that's an area I lack. I can make chords but screw with harmonies and melodies. I'm only good with chords. -.-

Thank you though. :3

Very nice.

The notes: B+ (Just needs better placement!)

Following the beat/temp: C (It seemed very sporadic or in bursts more than fluent.)

Sounds: B (Instead of a sharp piano, I recommend a softer piano. As Scartchmyballs said more reverb and more sounds! Make it into a full song, push yourself to make a corresponding melody and makes a climax!)

TechnicolourNuance responds:

Ahh.

The notes need better placement? What do you mean? You see, the tempo should be faster but I was using Garageband and it was hell haha. Like, I don't understand how to make 16th notes, and that's what the piece was kind of written on. Long chords with short notes between. Or do you mean the notes just don't sound right together? It was my first attempt at using the D min. scale, so I tried but I may have not gotten iit right. o:

Make a corresponding melody. I wish. There is what I'm working my ass to fulfill.

Well, I'll rework it and link you to it. :3
Thank you . :D
