This one's as if Sarah Brightman and Lady Gaga had a dumpster baby.

I've always loved DM and this song. Discovering that Dmitry (Crabbabuzz) sequenced this fantastic, and a bit quirky, cover of it, I couldn't resist.

Part of the Weekly / One-Hour Master series: once a week, one hour: single-take, live mike, one mix.

Pretty happy with it for a rough cut, save for its obvious issues: mike clipping, a few unintentional blips, uneven sound and too much volumising. And, as with every rough track, at least 15% excess reverb. ;)

Yeti Blue + WireTap + GarageBand

Policy of Truth (Never Again Mix) - 6DS + Depeche Mode + Dmitry AKA Crabbabuzz

Just a track I did with UK producer Joe Nolan for a limited-release feature in 2012. 

Composition: Joe Nolan
Lyrics and Vocals: 6 Degrees of Scorpio
Arrangement: Joe Nolan and 6DS
Mastering: 6DS

Raw track, GarageBand, Yeti Blue, and a busy Friday morning.

Tropica (In The Desert)(Vocal Mix)

Just another one-hour-master.

60 minutes, Yeti Blue, GarageBand, instrumental tracks, and a little talent. Live cut, single take.

As the iTunes Shuffle First Song of the Day, I was surprised the ease with which I was singing it; as if I knew it! In truth, I wrote enough fiction to it, I must. 

So here's what resulted, in about 45 minutes.

Half Life (6DS Remix)(Sneaker Pimps Cover)

And another 1 Hour Master. This one's more a reinterpretation; I felt there was a hidden potential in this one that was never realised. How many of us carry some great regret for love not lost -- but simply never had?

Yeti Blue. Single Take. Three Tracks. GarageBand.

Best I Never Had (Vertical Horizon Cover)

Felt like jamming with the fabulous duo Acoustic Instrumentls; because, maybe I can play like that in some other timeline -- but not this one. So, my pipes, their strumming.

Thanks, guys! You are super fantastic.

Just another 1 Hour Master. (TWO IN THE SAME WEEK? IT'S AN AUDIOPOCALYPSE.) Single take, Yeti Blue, GarageBand, two tracks. No edits -- raw and uncut.

Crazy (Gnarls Cover) (AcousticInstrumentls + 6DS)

Radiohead's classic 'Creep' has always been a mournful piece of unrequited love, the search for identity, and everything in between. 

South Venice Boulevard seemed the most oddly perfect atmosphere to explore its sadness and sense of yearning. 

As usual, with my #1HourMaster recordings, it's all me, no edits and a single take, with the Yeti Blue and GarageBand.

Accompaniment provided by the fantastic Acoustic Instrumentls. Love those guys.

Creep (Radiohead Cover) (6DS + Acoustic Instrumentls)

I heard this one could be sexier. 

It started with a sense that the chorus had lost its power in the original remix key. Then, lo and behold, a whole note later -- and we've flashed back to the '80s! Listen to that synth! I named it the '80s Rave Party Mix' in honour of Ben (Party) and the fact the tempo's at 80% of the original. (Yeah. Real clever, I know.)

There's a brilliance that becomes immediately apparent in the reverb when made downtempo. The vocals get a bit Pet Shop and Lauper, and the melody a touch Limahl, but I feel that's just part of its charm.

So. I dare you to not move in a sensuous groove to this one. Obviously, this track is better shared than solo. 

And, as always, REMIX WITH RESPECT.

Show the original artists you appreciate their work. Purchase Gotye's 'Making Mirrors' and check out Party Ben's website (www.partyben.com) and his tracks here on SoundCloud. I DO NOT OWN THE ABOVE. I'm just another remixer who hears things a bit differently.

Party on.


Somebody That I Used To Know (Gotye+Party Ben+6Degrees of Scorpio) ('80s Rave Party Mix)

The very first track I 'heard' differently. It even christened what became my remixing name: 6 Degrees of Scorpio.

As a college student, writer, and training psychologist, I'd have plenty of those fitful nights. This one in particular saw me going to my computer, listening to MusicMatch on Random, and, in my bleary, sleep-deprived state, hearing 'Closer' in a way I hadn't before. The bass like a heartbeat. Reznor's vocals soaring across the mids, and echoing treble.

I tried to recreate it as best I could using a discontinued Steinberg programme which came free with my Cubase - WaveLab 3.1. God, I still love that programme, even though I'm a Mac and GarageBand girl these days.

So, without further ado, I present to you my very first remix in all of its amateur, off-tempo, well-meaning, but poorly executed glory. And yet, there are still some parts I can't help but love.

Like that heartbeat bass. Thump, thump ... thump, thump ... 

' ... You get me closer to God.'

Enjoy the fruits of one Scorpionic insomniac's labour.


Closer (NIN + 6 Degrees of Scorpio) (Scorpisomniac Remix)

Studio demo version.

'M-Theory' is my cover of Les Friction's 'String Theory' originally composed and released by Helmut Vonlichten on their debut album with Paint in 2012.

A few days following my inspired rough track, I recorded this in a single session. The vocals aren't as out front as in the quick cut, but the mix still isn't properly balanced. It remains a work in progress.

M-Theory (String Theory LF + AMP) (v2.5) (Studio Demo)

Rough live cut version.

'M-Theory' is my cover of Les Friction's 'String Theory' originally composed and released by Helmut Vonlichten on their debut album with Paint in 2012.

I covered it in a fit of passion last November, resulting in this slapdash track made possible by GarageBand, WireTap, iTunes, and Yeti Blue.

M-Theory (String Theory   LF + AMP) (Live Rough Cut)

Just a single take, with feeling, of a tossed together track, of a dearly cherished song, from a long-favourite group. (Key of G#4)

Covered with respect to Radiohead and their copyright.

High And Dry (Radiohead Cover)

Just a creative professional in Hollyweird who hears music a tad differently and enjoys remixing, occasionally writing, and mostly admiring exceptional talent.

'Contempo coloratura' soprano (F3-C7) with a versatile repertoire and a passion for experimenting with acoustic and a capella rough tracks.
