The original song "The Quantum World" was made by John, the head behind www.symphonyofscience.com which is for those of you who haven't found it already on YouTube a project in which he strives to make science interesting and beautiful for the regular joe by Auto-Tuning big heads of the cosmos to chilling and beautiful tunes.
 
As with the last one I contacted John with a wish to remix his orignal song. I was again treated to the split track version of his song. Also like last time I ran into an inspirational drought after I had put some time into it. It took a few months, but I did pick it up again and I did finish.
 
When I set to work on it I had decided that the main thing I wanted to portray in my version was some of the energy a lot of Dubstep tunes has when the refrain comes in. His refrain was originally a calm one and to achieve my goal I had to change that, for better or worse.
 
This time around I didn't remove his melody. I merely added to it in places and rearranged it in the refrain. I made the backing melody in the refrain more aggressive and added a partially wobbling bass to it, added one of my own, simple and aggressive drones with the same partial wobble, then another two synths playing a different melody on top of that to get more energy out of it.
 
The beat this time around is highly compressed to serve as much punch as possible, the sub bass mixed in to not drown out the vocals even with a powerful subwoofer (As long as you've set your sub up correctly that is!)
 
Like the first song, this one was a blast to work on and I learned a lot. I would gladly do it again!

The original song "A Glorious Dawn" was made by John, the head behind www.symphonyofscience.com which is for those of you who haven't found it already on YouTube a project in which he strives to make science interesting and beautiful for the regular joe by Auto-Tuning big heads of the cosmos to chilling and beautiful tunes.
 
I contacted John within the first hour of hearing the first song and not many hours later I was sitting in front of my computer with a smile on my face, looking at the remix files for "A Glorious Dawn" he had sent me after listening to my most noticed tune "Under the Ocean" and receiving my question to remix his song.
 
I knew then that it would be an awesome project for me to work on as I already love science and I feel with him on wanting more people to get the info and with his multitrack kit I sat down.
 
First thing I did was line up his tune and make the original 93BPM song work right with a 4x4 beat on 140BPM, then I made a calm, medium and energetic Dubstep beat for the original "symphony" and vocals, removing his drum layers.
 
The next step for me was adding a wobbly bass that sounded at home, this proved to be a problem as I require to click around on my keyboard to listen to each note to see if I can use that in the melody.
 
Doing this along side his instruments playing the original melody proved to be so time consuming that I almost lost interest in the project and for a day or two I actually did.
 
However, upon talking with a friend of mine with some music theory behind him at school I got pushed back into the project with the quest of making my own melody to his vocals and thereby eliminating the problem I was having for the past few days.
 
So I gradually added my own piano, removing his and eventually I had redone the whole melody with pads, choirs and all things chill, having done that there was no longer any problem adding my previously made wobbly bass to the tune.
