Hey, I just finished up a tough week at school so I decided to relax a bit today and try to put together some short sound vignettes. I can't really call them songs as they don't really have a clear driving purpose and as a result tend to flounder around. I have never really written any songs at all... so I'm trying to do this as a process in learning that ability.
My work style was to record a simple track (either some rhythm or simple chords)... and then keep layering on additional simple tracks. Everything was on the fly so the sound just kinda evolved as I layered on track after track.
A few of the things I recorded can be found at:

Comments, suggestions, or anything would be great,
Thanks,

I really liked them all, but especially sound #3.
By the way music doesn't have to have any meaningful purpose, those are definitely songs!

Haha, thanks for the comments.
I hope in a week or two to put a few more onto the soundclick page. Right now I'm working on a short little (like 30 seconds) song with some words. So hopefully that will be up relatively soon.

Well I got a usb cable to hook up my multitrack recorder to my computer, so now I can transfer songs over really easily.
Anyways, here's my little work in progress: ( if you can, listen to it in the higher quality... it sounds a lot different on the lower quality setting).

lyrics so far:
I got a strange feeling the words coming from your head
form a painting of yellow blue and red
I meant to ask you, but I get caught up in your sight
what's a girl like you doing on such a charcoal night?
One thing I really don't like about this song so far is how the very first line runs through so fast... if possible I'd like to give it a nicer cadence, though I'm having trouble figuring out a good way to do that.
Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks
