During my break I also made this draft wallpaper design,

I quite like it's simplicity, but it reminds me of F24's default wallpaper a bit
too much. I'll stick to the illustrative design.
I think it's too plain, it needs more oomph. I like that you made the waveform
circular. Can you push it more? Rather than a solid thin line on a relatively flat
background, can you create more visual interest, and somehow connect it to a deeper idea?
For example, from the pinboard:

This one makes the wave forms look as though they are composed of particles, there's a
lot of motion and life to them

This artist extruded and 3-D printed wave forms from songs in a circle not unlike yours.
Can you maybe extrude the wave in Blender?

This one converted the sound wave to a bar chart and gave the bar an illustrative style.
Can you try a treatment that is atypical for a sound wave (like this kind of illustrative
style) and come up with a compelling visual?

This one has the waves layered in different gradients - can you play with layering?
Hope this helps,
