I just finished two remixes which you can listen to on soundcloud. I did them both for Color Theory‘s new remix EP titled, “The Silence.”
Color Theory – Song Named After a Girl (Odd Year Remix)
The single off the album and a track I approach with a more “bare-bones” mentality. This was done mostly with the bassline that runs throughout and minimal synths except for the chorus sections. I am not a fan of the typical remix, i.e., just speed up the vocals or only use a snippet of vocals and then slam a house beat underneath. I usually take the approach of re-visioning it and asking myself what I would do if I had Brian in the studio to record a new track. I like the stark contrast of a deep bass with Brian’s voice and really wanted to highlight the melody he wrote for the chorus. Hope you all enjoy.
Backseat:
I fell in love with Backseat off of Color Theory’s latest release, The Sound and when the opportunity arose to remix it, I couldn’t resist. This track has the classic depeche mode melancholy to which I wanted to do a more “widescreen” edition of. Hence the rain and thunder efx on the track.
