Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (Radio Edit) Remake

My, if this one didn't take a long time to finish. I started this a year ago, around the 20th of December 2012. Why did it take so long? I had it 90% finished that next January, but I didn't get to the last passage of the choral section in time to have it finished before school started back up. So, the vocals had to wait. It wasn't until just recently that I was able to sit down with this song and really complete it.

But it's here, now, and I love that. This one's been a long time coming and features some of my best mixing to date. I had this mix near perfect months before I ever considered buying monitors, which is amazing to me. With the acquisition of more useful plugins, I put a little more critical listening work into the mix and the result is something I can call pleasing!

I'm more than excited to finally be able to release this. Many people requested it when I decided to cover something last year, and it's great to feel like it's worth something.

Production notes may come eventually, but for now I'll just run down the notables.

I used PreSonus's wonderful Studio One v.2 Pro to mix, utilizing its included compressors, EQs, and reverberators for the most part. Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 4 played a huge role in this like it does most of my music, being the tone shaper for the guitar/bass tracks and my key echo effect. I used Waves' Kramer Master Tape to fatten the sound in a good many places, and the Puigtec passive EQs as sweetening filters. Ozone 5 served as the master dynamics processor and topped everything off.

Mafia Pineapple - Genesis [FREE DOWNLOAD!]

Another remake from Sonambulism.  This time, the first track.
and lucky days - 2 songs in one.  possibly 3, if you include the scractchedvinyl interlude.
the original had the islamic call to prayer on it.  the updated version goes all in.   
what starts as a charming song about having no regrets for anything you've done for love.
it decensds into anger about a relationship - boiling over from beruit to bagdhad.  
though Banjul is actually in Africa.

Countdown To Impact

This is Midna's Lament, from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This is the song you hear when you are needed to rush Midna to Zelda, maybe halfway through the game. Unbelievably well-composed, and classic in the truest sense of the term. I love the song to no end, and wanted to share some of that by remixing it into an ambient piece with a hint of that orchestral influence heard in the Wii version of the game (GameCube version used ROMs for sounds, Wii supports SoundFonts and pre-recorded soundtracks).

Rosario Marcianò (Native Sound), in addition to being an author of essays, a documentary filmmaker and an independent investigator, especially expert in the field of clandestine geoengineering and geopolitics, is also a musical composer. Self-taught, since adolescence he has cultivated, among other things, a passion for art whose inspiring goddess is Euterpe. This passion, over time, has given rise to a style and inspiration transfused into instrumental productions of considerable emotional impact. 

His compositions, which tend to go beyond the boundaries of more or less codified genres or subgenres, tend to combine a tense, sometimes hammering sense of rhythm with melodic lines not devoid of a refined dissonance. Generally speaking, these creations can be traced back to the field of soundtracks accompanying dramatic films, thrillers, action films.

It is symptomatic that the motifs created are exclusively instrumental, we would say orchestral, so as to focus the enjoyment on the essence inherent to the art of sounds, without the intervention of the text which, although it can enrich the score, sometimes distracts from the heart of the inspiration. However, the titles, almost always coinciding with a single word or a syntagm of strong texture, introduce the forms and functions of verbal language to recover, so to speak, the eclipse of words.

The tracks are precisely fixed by incisive and pregnant titles, not only in relation to the phonic and melodic structure, but also foreshadowing abysmal themes: life, death, destiny, freedom, hope, nature, love, memory, meaning, power... They are the same contents that dot the section dedicated to the maxims: for this reason it seemed appropriate, indeed natural to us to match some pieces with precise aphorisms, as a harmonic complement. A music therefore to listen to, but also to read with a multisensory approach that involves soul and intellect, aesthetic pleasure and reflection.
