Modern Monday – Skrillex first of the year
December 26, 2011 in Modern Monday
This video is for a song made by Skrillex, an American artist that knows the music industry way better than I do. I am reading his wikipedia page now… dang! Dude has been around and he is still only 23 (in 2011)
Check this video out! Pretty incredible video that reminds me of the old Aphex Twin come to daddy video.
So in terms of music, it starts out with a couple of samples backing up a vocal that has been pitch shifted up.
The piano theme seems to be the main essence of the song.
Then cue the MAGIC.
The super wild bass sounds most likely made in MASSIVE are cut up probably in a sampler of some sort and turned into a montage of ideas after ideas. Pretty incredible music.
I wonder if Skrillex has ADD. His music consists of half beat riffs, one measure riffs and two measure riffs. Wild stuff.
I have tried to mimic the sound using Massive myself, but haven’t got the patience to learn the software or the desire to make music like this. But I have tried to find a way to make my bass guitar sound ridiculous like this.
