For my remix of “Rattlesnake” I used only samples from the original song and added a kick and a subbass. Utilizing a plugin called Life from XLN Audio, it was possible for me to create a lot of different loops out of the stems, selecting the best variations and tried to make a coherent track out of it. 
Regarding my 3D audio approach: the remix is made completely in 7. Order Ambisonics, which makes it possible to play it on other loudspeaker setups as well. I worked with basic panning option and their modulations, with Soundparticles Energy Panner and Density plugin and put the elements in three different instances of the Vienna MIR Pro plugin together. Finally, everything got mixed into a binaural mix, utilizing my binaural virtualization in which I split the Ambisonics soundfield in three parts, Front, Back and Top, apply some directional filtering to help with localisation and boost the frontal and top representation, which is normally quite weak on headphone playback. Also, the IEM FDN Reverb got applied at this stage, to help with a better out of head experience.

RATTLESNAKE (Ioka Binaural Remix)

Ioka was born on a farmyard  in the mountains, high up in the clouds. 
He watched the Japanese light above the tree, went through the grass and through the water.
While the tree is glowing, Ioka dances and dances, up in the house stands the vase of flowers.

He likes the sound of clouds, roses, and elephants.
