Nathan Dawe - We Ain't Here For Long (Statecoral Remix) by CORAL RIFFS π¦ published on 2024-03-24T18:58:36Z Storytelling is at the heart of this remix. Rewriting the concept of the original lyric was forethought in preproduction. The other main concept that preluded this remix was key modulation. I hence wrote chord progressions, and melodic phrases in the original key of the song Emaj and then wrote a secondary parallel modulation progressions and phrases into Emin then back to Emaj before doing a final pivot modulation into a progressions and phrases in F#maj, in the final chorus. Breakbeat style rhythm was most fit for this record and was first noticed when listening to the original which contained a one bar chop of breakbeat. The realization created a natural follow up that was well suited. The rhythm, harmonies, bass, and vocal should come together to give the listener a journey of the process of conception! Main instruments used for harmony are string synth, vocal synth, and clavi keys presets from the Roland Integra module I own. Added harmonies were conceived with the Jazz Harp module by Samples from Mars. Also used was the new feature in Vocal Colors by Native instruments to conduct a re-pitch to the original vocals. The drums were programmed via drum rack + added percussion from Roland Integra and TR8S. The bass was performed with a Nord c2 keyboard and harmonized with an Ob-X. Much of magic sparked in the post production, processing, arranging, and final mix down. The main samples used from the original are vocals, vox samples, snare rolls, and synth stabs. Mixed & Mastered with UAD Plugins and SPL Rack modules. In joy.
