Hi!
this is my soundcloud:

Tell me what you think.
The sound is sometimes a little bit crap coz this is still only a demo and i've done everything alone but i think my drums need improvement..

I hear some potential because your voice is distinctive and original. But I think you need collaborators. The production is a mess and the songs sound like they get lost part way through. If you find the right collaborator(s) to help you write and sound more professional, you could have a good alternative band.

Nice voice! Your vocals would fit great into a Björk-like arrangement... 8)

thanks but i don't want to sound like bjork..there is already one bjork and she does what she does very well..i prefer to keep on developing my own style

Sounds to me you've got personality and with a skilled collaborated you could go far in a short time. If you want to keep experimenting on your own, I'd say simplify your arrangments, choose a more limited palette of sounds and build your tracks more around your voice and melodies. Simple beats go a long way if you make sure you vary them a little, and I think you have a voice and a delivery that may benefit from sparse arrangements.

I hear great potential. Not sure what else to say other than specifics but I think some of the music itself is nearly great. IMO a little could be done to make it so that you can't stop listening to these songs. Maybe editing and examining the structure and maybe changing the length of some parts. rearranging them so they build and get quiet and talk to each other if that makes any sense... Some of them do this but I lose attention a little bit during long parts. I love your high voice. At times it screeches and I love it when it almost breaks and on the other hand I like it when I feel its strength and you have control. But I don't like when its in the middle, semi-screechy... Really great potential. thanks for posting... I hardly ever feel this way.... I like the loose tympani sounding hits... some of the sounds are really rhythmic and have nice texture.

Thank you for your opinion, because you answered the question i was asking myself:
If my music were good enough to click on the replay button..and it seems i still have to work on this lol

Well i hope i will succeed in the end :-)

Yes maybe there are part were we loose attention, maybe is it due to the rythm?..drums are a little bit my weakness and i didnt always succeed so much on it.

Nothing wrong in stealing a rhythm ... as long as it's a good one.

I've listened to first three song thus far. This is really good, I'd say. It's got charm, personality and an idea. These songs can stand for themselves without a "demo" shield IMO. I didn't hear anything bad about the drums, they sound somewhat artificial and plastic, but I actually quite like them this way and it fits the rest. I don't think you'd need collaborators aside from hiring a sound engineer, if there's a reason for it, or in case you want to play live. Doing things by yourself has some great advantages. One thing I noticed as standing out in a bad way 'eshing', especially on 'Broken', could use some deessing of manual edits on vocal track.

Have you been listening to Danielle Dax?

You don't have to sound like Björk. I just said "Björk-like arrangement" to indicate an arrangement that consists of electronic and orchestral elements and would fit to your voice.

Thanks i'm very happy to know that my arrangements don't sound like bjork :-) because the last thing i want is to have Bjork like arrangement :-)

because some people told me that my arrangement reminded them of Bjork and it kind of made me very depress so thanks a lot you made my dayl

I think it sounds awesome! Did you play all the instruments and did the recording all by yourself?
Always look on the bright side of life

Seems to be difficult to give you any suggestions or hints if you only want your own individual special extraordinary "not-sound-alike-anybody" style. Because in a real band everybody is influenced by other musicians, and everybody wants to bring in some of their ideas. You won't find a band that you can rule only with your own ideas... :(
