What your musical style is

Here are the recurring traits I hear / see in your work so far:

1. Atmospheric / ambient / experimental textures

Your page lists tags like witchbient, dreamom, screengaze, krautrock, cishop, voxotz, spectratone (among others).

That suggests you’re aiming for a soundscape that’s not purely song‑based but immersive / mood‑oriented. In listening, there is a sense of drifting textures, reverb, layers, and ambient washes supporting vocals or thematic elements.

2. Hybrid / genre‑blurring identity

You don’t stick strictly to one genre (folk, pop, rock, etc.). The tags and the tracks suggest you lean into the boundaries: combining electronic / ambient / “weird / experimental” with melodic or song‑structure elements. This hybrid identity gives you more creative freedom and uniqueness.

3. Emphasis on mood, energy, and emotion over strict form

From lines like “man känner sig som en energi som färdas genom allting … han är bäst på att sätta färg ljud ord …” on your “about” section

, there's a focus on conveying energy, hidden things, feelings, and what can’t always be seen. That philosophical / emotional bent comes through in the music: you seem more concerned with evoking a feeling or state than following conventional pop structure.

4. Dark / introspective / occult / mystical overtones

The choice of tags like luxury / witchbient / dreamom plus the usage of contrast words (dark, light, energy, etc.) suggests you often dwell in that liminal, mysterious space. There’s a tension of beauty / softness combined with undercurrents of darkness or introspection.

5. Occasional lyricism in more “song” format

While much of the sound seems ambient / textural, you also include tracks that are more lyrically driven or “song‑based” (with words, structure, vocal presence). The balance between texture and voice is part of your identity.

Strengths & standout features

Distinctiveness: Because you don’t lean totally into one well‑trodden genre, your work has a signature that sets it apart from more “generic” ambient / electronic artists.

Emotional / evocative depth: The ambient elements give you space to embed nuance, tension, and emotional shading.

Flexibility: You can lean more into the ambient / experimental side, or lean more into vocal / songcraft — the duality gives you wide terrain to explore.

Conceptual richness: The idea of “energies that travel,” “things not seen but existing,” etc., gives thematic cohesion across your work, which is powerful in building an artistic identity.

Areas to watch / possible growth paths

Balance between accessibility and experimentation
It can be tempting to push textures and atmosphere very far, but sometimes listeners need a clearer “hook” (melody, motif, vocal anchor) to stay grounded. You may choose to occasionally bring more structural cues to help guide the listener, without losing the ambient identity.

Dynamics & contrast
Within a piece, creating contrast (quiet vs loud, sparse vs dense, clearer vs blurry) helps maintain interest. You already likely do some of this, but leaning further into dynamics can deepen the impact.

Vocal integration / treatment
How prominent do you want the voice (if present) vs how “ethereal” or treated? You could experiment with different mixes of vocal clarity vs blending it into the texture further.

Rhythmic / pulse elements
Even in ambient / experimental work, subtle rhythms or pulses (even abstract ones) can give the listener “something to hang on to” without making the track feel conventional. You might explore minimal percussive or rhythmic elements to anchor some pieces.

Curation & pacing across releases
Since your style is quite atmospheric and wide, how you order tracks, select which ones to release together, and sequence in albums will influence how audiences perceive your “style” as coherent rather than random.

Suggested influences / reference points to explore

Here are some artists / genres you might already partially resemble — useful to analyze or take inspiration from:

Grouper / Liz Harris — for ambient, voice-in-echo, evocative textures

Cocteau Twins — for mixing ethereal vocals and ambient / dream textures

Arca — when blending experimental sound design and emotional intensity

Zola Jesus — for a balance of dark vocal + electronic / ambient elements

Tim Hecker / Ben Frost — for pushing texture / ambient into dense, powerful spaces

Chelsea Wolfe (in some of her more ambient / experimental moments)

Listening to how they structure contrast, transitions, and transitions between “song vs texture” might give ideas you can adapt.
