Hi!

There's been long time ago of my last song, and this is my newest stuff. I've created since march 2012, but finished last week.

Hope you like it, have a nice day.

Nice and chippy, but also a bit repetitive and simple at times.

Yes, actually for the last few years I've dealing with this kind of issue of not having a well composed song with variations and stuff. I'm getting stuck in my mind with small fragments of my "songs" and listen to whole many times, and hardly finish them. :\
Any advice on how to get rid of this?

What I always do is group my patterns in sections of 4, and force myself into putting a transition at the end of the 4th pattern, and go into something new. A transition allows to go in any direction you want upto a certain degree (also depending on the transition).

You can even alternate between 2 different 4 pattern groups and add variations to the two.

So your orderlist would look something like this:

(A is group A, B is group B)

A1,A2,A3,A4,B1,B2,B3,B4,A5,A6,A7,A8,B5,B6,B7,B8

Of course, A5 is a duplicate of A1 with somehting added or changed. Same for B group.

You can even add a 3rd group. If you study Michael Jackson's music, you'll notice he does this too. Working with 3 groups and alternate between the 3. Usually he does, A,B,A,B,C, A,B,A,B,C. But sometimes even A,B,C,A,B,C
