Does this track sound alright?

I’m working on an album right now, and to me it sounds listenable enough, but I don’t really have anyone to share it with, so I started wondering if it’s actually any good.

I was initially going for something like a modernized take on trip-hop, but I’m curious what it sounds like to you. I’d also love to hear if there’s anything you think I should add, remove, or change.

The vocals are basically just me rambling random stuff. I’m a guy, so I took my original vocal recordings and re-performed them using a vocal synthesis software called Synthesizer V.

I’m also curious what you think about the quality of the vocals themselves.

Is the album coming along well?

I’m currently working on a “glitch trip-hop” album, and overall, I feel like I’ve been pretty heavily influenced by Björk and Sweet Trip.

The problem is that I’ve made about six tracks so far, and I’m starting to run out of ideas in terms of methodology or approach. At the same time, I don’t really want to keep using the same methods I’ve already used on the existing tracks.

What kinds of tracks do you think would be good to add to the album? I’d really appreciate some suggestions.

How to make glitch sounds like Sweet Trip?

I can make something somewhat similar, but mine ends up sounding muddy, probably because of the distortion. I want to make the glitch sound clean and crisp without muddying it up. How can I achieve that? Could the problem be the original source sound?

Questions About Sound Design

How can I make those clear yet dirty electronic sounds like Sweet Trip, Flying Lotus, Death Grips? Whenever I try to make something similar, the glitches don’t sound crisp or clear enough. Instead, the sound feels kind of muddy and loose, without that dense, punchy quality. I’m not really sure how to achieve it.

I’ve been trying a few things, any ideas?

I’m working on a trip-hop album with a cyberpunk concept, and I’ve been experimenting with different elements. The other tracks have turned out pretty well, but I feel a bit stuck on this one.

For now, I’m thinking of adding a few more drum samples and playing around with the dynamics, but I can’t really think of what other instruments or sounds I should layer on top.

I’m especially stuck on the progression/arrangement. There’s a section in the middle where I basically just filled the space with noise because I couldn’t think of how to develop the track from there. It kind of feels like a placeholder right now.

Still working

(*I used a translator because I'm not good at English to write very long sentences. idk why reason that i can read but i can't write.)

Progress has been slow since I've mostly been working on it after my day job, but I think it's about 30% done now.

I also picked up a new mic to replace my phone's microphone, and the SM58 has actually been great for recording at home.

After finishing the two newest tracks (Demo 4 and Demo 5), I feel like the album finally has a clear direction. It might end up sounding more like psychedelic dream pop than hip-hop, though. I think a trip-hop style rap vocal would fit it really well, but I keep slipping into this slow, drawn-out delivery. I also have to write lyrics (for now, I've just been mumbling made-up lyrics or using Massive Attack's lyrics), but it's such a boring. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how it's coming along.
