The Art of the Remix

nobody@vox.com(InTense Productions) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:25:23 -0700

I've spent the last month or so finishing up some remixes. A couple are covers of classic songs that I redid with a vocalist that I work with and a couple are originals that were in need of some new ideas.

As much as I love songwriting, I also love remixing. I think the reason being is because I look forward to taking something and putting a whole new slant on it. I like taking songs that are meant for one genre and remixing it for another. I think that when we think of remixes, we think of dance music but I tend to think remixes as rearranging in the biggest sense of the word. The word 'arranging' itself has many different connotations that I think is limiting. In this way I think of remixing, producing and arranging in the same terms.

Most of the originals that I have written have at least one remix; sometimes many. I try to write the best melody and lyric I can initially. Sometimes I have a general feel of the song when I start but then when I do the remix, I try to do something completely different.

If you've written some songs, I urge you to try a couple of remixes. Try to make a ambient piece out of a rock tune, or a sparse acoustic tune from a dance number. You may surprise yourself, I know I have. If remixing isn't your thing, giving your bare vocal tracks to another musician can sometimes result in some great sounding tracks. I know quite a few musicians out there are looking for material like this to hone their remixing chops and you'll
