S2 E04 - 'Department of Sound Surgery'

Remixing is a great way to find new ideas for your original music. Whether you're "flipping" a track, or simply trying to chop it up and make something new with it, remixing can be a robust starting point for skill building, especially in arrangement, mixing, mastering, and writing in diverse genres. Join us - Adi & Robin - as we explore the role that remix projects have had in our lives as musicians, and walk you through how we approached remixing a song that we didn't like all too much👀! #remixing #gendaphool #yui #squarezattached ----------------- TIMESTAMPS (0:00) - Introduction (00:54) - Theme (1:38) - Whaccha Listening To?
