The material and vibe are great, and hearing the humming on the end of the first track kinda made me wish you'd done more using that since it sounded great!

After listening through all the tracks, i felt you could try playing around with having a bit more rhythm and movement in the backing parts, since for the most part they were just playing the harmony with whole notes, which gets a bit boring after a while.

This could help really elevate the feel of the tracks, because the harmonies and melodies themselves are great.

Woah! Your feedback is immensely appreciated! I really hesitated to add myself humming into the song since I'm a bit mic shy ^^". It means a lot that you liked my material, the vibes, and even the humming, and actually wanted more of it. I'll be more bold in the future then! And I'll play around more with rhythm and movement in the backing parts for sure. I admittedly spent too much time redoing melodies and switching instruments that I just forgot about changing out the basic building block patterns, haha. Thank you again, you're wonderful!

Trying to record/use some vocal parts on tracks even if just some background elements here and there could help slowly get a bit more comfortable actually having your voice be more front and center in a track, at least it did for me.

I didn't like my own voice either when I was first starting to try adding my own vocal stuff on tracks, but took over a year or two to get comfortable with having it front and center, so before that i usually added tons of effects to change the sound of it, since I didn't like the raw sound of my voice 😂. 

For the backing stuff, if you don't normally do it, you could try first making the skeleton of the track with just a piano sound. That way it might be a bit easier to settle on the melody, harmony and rhythm before starting to arrange it.

I have the same issue with drums usually, since i just make up a initial pattern and then forget to change it after that😅, but I've found that doing a piano skeleton of the building parts for the track, it helps me with that.

Especially with bigger arrangements, like an orchestra, it can get really overwhelming quickly if I haven't made a piano base to start arranging from 😅. 

These things have worked for me, but what works for me might not be the way for everyone 😁.
