I like that you used Indian music. I think the track is repetitive in a way that kind of detracts and lacks development.
The ostinato is good, however. So, like it's a good little tune that just needs to be developed with more going on.
Some of the synths aren't landing quite right timing wise. Are they in line with Indian tuning systems?
I've heard some Indian classical music, and there's a lot of microtonal stuff I enjoy, but I'm thinking there might be more to develop here.
This is a neat idea though, good work! :)
The first instrument sounds nice. I think this track could be like 2 minutes with the amount of musical development it currently has.
It's nice that this uses Indian classical music, something interesting and outside the box IMO.
However, the synth is a bit too harsh, and the dynamics seem to jump everywhere. It takes a while to buildup, and then doesn't really change that much apart from the A section and the B section.
Link to streaming service...?
I like the main lick, good phrygian vibes, but it gets repetitive. The rest of the instruments seem to be out of tempo and sometimes the chord and the main melody clash.
