Today I started working on this remix of a Nomar Slevik song that I really like. Spent all day working on it. Well more like all day getting my drums and things organized for it. After creating this interesting intro, I realized that it’s just not going to work. The reason is simple. What I was doing and what the song is doing just doesn’t work together. I know exactly where the problem lies. I thought I could avoid it with some fancy drum editing, but it didn’t work. The failure lies in the fact that I’m trying to write a 174 bpm dnb track over a 58 bpm song. I realize now that you can’t just throw 3 measure of 174 in to 1 measure of 58. The triplets transposed over 4/4 just don’t jive in this case.
However this failure has turned out to be a small success though. There are 2 reasons. 1st, I figured out what I should do with the song and how I should remix it. That occurred by chance I just happen to load up a piano because I wanted to see if I was playing the right chords and discovered that the piano fit it so well, that I decided that I should just do a downtempo kind of remix of it. The 2nd reason is I now have an intro to what seems to be a cool dnb tune. I just need to convert it from 58 to 174. That will take some work but should not be too hard. Just a matter of moving things around.
