Though the final composition seems sufficient, I admittedly felt lost throughout the process, which is indicative of my current opinion towards music more broadly; the songs eventually sound decent, but I've hardly any control over the final result, and, by extension, the theme, or emotional impact. Beauty exists in intuitive approaches, but I can't be satisfied with my work if I can't personally comprehend it.
I may need a brief break from original composition to compose a few studies by ear; Hopefully, it'll help me better understand the type of music I wish to create, and how I can effectively create it.
Your time and patience are deeply appreciated,
Soic
