Musical coherence

aactv [Edit] [Delete] 17:02, 3 March '15

Seem to be having a real problem with this recently. Trying to make a 5-6 track EP for the hell of it and no matter how I try I can't seem to stick to one genre. I have one track that's shoegazey indie-pop, one thats sort of industrial R&B, one that's a sweeping orchestral ballad (think Bjork, not Snow Patrol), an uplifting dance thing, and a pretty trip hop thing. I wanted to make something that would sort of showcase my general style as an artist, but it's pretty much all over the place. There are drum sounds and production-y things that unify them sort of, and when I finish vocals they will sound a little bit more similar, but it's definitely not what I was going for. The problem is I'm kinda proud of them all and can't bring myself to scrap any of them. Any advice from anyone who may have been in a similar position?
