I'm not sure, I think the black negative space feels oppressive.
It's much more harmonic against a white background and with larger pixels.
I like that idea; but I think it only works for the movements I've either completed/worked on thus far. I'm planning on later movements to be a bit darker and atonal so I'm not sure if it would hold for the entire thing like black. Maybe I could use a white for the opening movements and black for the closing movements...
I'll have to figure that out as I compose a bit more
I really like were you've got so far ! Tho I agree with seiseki on the black BG. White is defenitely an option, especially considering the nature of your music, but I do think you can find somethin that'll fit better.
The one you posted before your last message are really good too, not sure why. It feels less muddy, kind of lighter.
Thanks! I thought that adding more colors would take away a lot of the RGB Glitch feeling and give it more of a paint-color look. Glad you like it!
Do realize though, that you've now created a composition; which inherently gives it structure and focal points/ directional flow.
What exactly are these "movements"? Are they images that will phase into each other or otherwise animate?
Yep! I focused a lot of the noisiest parts in the center slab to draw attention there (more detail), and since the outer two slabs have ends that are vertically center (or close) of the piece, they somewhat have a draw back to the center, while the final two middle slabs draw it back away. Someone on PJ suggested to cut it off like this:

As for the movements, I was planning on different images for each musical movement, but right now I'm honestly not sure; I'm working to come up with something that represents the entire thing as a whole, which is hard because I'm only halfway through movement 2 and movements 3-5 are planned but only on staff paper + annotations + notes.
As for the movements,
