This is definitely some stuff I don't hear every day. It begs the question: What were you thinking when you made this? I'm legitimately curious to hear from you what your thought process was, because it seems like you went out of your way to create something unique.

Without knowing your thought process, I am limited to judging by my own taste, and I have no idea where to start because I've literally heard nothing like this. if I include all the elements of the piece. I can't give good feedback or an accurate rating, either.

I'm also wondering why you chose the thumbnail artwork for this piece that you did, and even more so, the title.

Right now, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and give it 3 1/2 stars.

Hiya! Sorry for getting back so late.

When I make music like this, I don't really think of anything in particular. I usually have some little idea in my head to begin with, but I rarely go along with any full formed idea I have. I make this music to vent emotions and frustrations, so most of it is very experimental or harsh to try to get emotions across.

As for the thumbnail, that has a very personal meaning for me. Most of my artwork for my more experimental work is of a distorted face, because when I get very emotional it can get hard to see people as, well, people. I see them less as human beings with emotions and lives and I just see them more as shapes and colors, which is why I use distorted faces for cover art, to help convey that feeling.
