My first posted composition
Hmm...you're entitled to your opinion, but I assure you it wasn't random. I thought the ears around here would pick up on that, and that the criticism would be more along the lines of "...it sounds like (-------; fill in some composer from historical record), but it's not developed, more like a fragment," etc. I didn't think anyone would think this was random. It has intention and to me there is a melodic structure. Some of my others are more accessible on first hearing, but now I'm hesitant about submitting them. Since it just sounds like noise to you, yet is not as chaotic as some you know of that are playable, I don't know what to say. Not as chaotic must mean there is some order, eh?
I gather you didn't perceive a derivation from the line "I wish they all could be California girls..." (the Beach Boys, "California Girls.") That was the point of departure.
I detect a note of hostility. But I'm going to thank you for posting, since getting some kind of response was my goal. But your feedback isn't very meaningful or helpful to me.
You don't compare it to anyone's production at all. It doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard before? Are you sure? Nothing in your experience is comparable?
Evidently I made the wrong wager when I submitted one of the edgier ones. I wish you all well.
