I’m not sure of how much help I can be because I’m not much of a genre/label type person, but I went through the whole thing. I listened to a few of them all of the way through and skipped around in the rest to get an idea of what the mood was and get some idea of where they overlap with other tracks.
First off coming from the perspective of someone who has never heard most of this and only ever really heard your track that you wrote on holiday in Greece all the way through before, I wanted to say liked “What’s up, Denise” quite a bit. It’s the one that stood out to me for some reason.
I would tend to agree that there’s a leaning towards some of the postal service stuff, I would call this electronica and as most of the songs with drums definitely go that way, a lot of the melodic pieces without drums remind me of soundtrack music and I believe that soundtrack is a genre.
I also don’t know how accurate it is to call it this, but I’ve heard stuff like yours mixed into youtube playlists called “Chill out” but I’m not sure if chill out is an official genre title or not.
Nice work Chris, glad you decided to share!
side notes
Since a lot of it is in a similar voice and key, I’d try and take tracks that start with the same note (or notes) and in the same keyboard note position (example C3) and spread them out a bit more.
I know this is unsolicited advice but a few times I felt like I was listening to the same track more than once because of similar starting notes and as a matter of perspective it does unify the body of work and give it a distinct tone, but another point of view is that sometimes track arrangement means cutting a track if it overlaps too heavily with another or write a new track if necessary to make things fit together nicely.
It’s all very nice to listen to when taken as individual works, and there are unique melodies within, however I feel like as a body of work, this is enough content to where you could reorder the track listing and cut a few titles which you notice have more overlap within the group and then it will feel as if this has the continuity of an album rather than a release which comes as a collection of tracks.
I’m only putting this out there because I see a lot of potential in these tracks to make for a nice release, so I think before you complete your plans for upload it’s at least one thing you might consider taking under evaluation.
Thanks for the share! Sorry if this advice is not helpful!
