Azzurro by Adriano Celentano I decided to do this remix in the genre of Deep House, so I just increased the BPM to 123 from the previous of 119. The key didn’t change as I chose not to transpose the original stems, as I didn’t like how they sounded. I didn’t mix the vocals too…

Via con me, Paolo Conte: Remix part two I added four different bass samples and duplicated two of them to make a Sub bass. During the track, I alternate between them. On the standard Bass, I have just applied an EQ that cuts the low and high frequencies to delineate the range of the bass,…

Preparing your crit During this weekly class we talked about the future showcase that will take place in June, for our course and also by being third year we could, if we want to, go deeper about our work. I don’t really have that much to showcase but i believe it is useful; even more…

From Demo to Final Piece During this week we had a particular class, in fact it was about definition of the musical genres and hybrid genres songs, like mixed genres. There were a lot of examples of tracks that we listened in class. Some of them were bizarre like a bit unfamiliar to me, while…

Concept and Sonic Aesthetics This week we had a class to get feedback from our pairs and coordinator, Diego.  I just had started the remix in time with my presented timeline, so I just showed to the class what I had done. I focused on the vocals first as I believed to be the main…
