House Music (Composition)

Classical / house mashup

• I suspect house music is limiting itself too much by restricting itself to never-changing beats. I strongly suspect there's a whole world of amazing music out there if the techniques used in house music could be combined with those used in classical music; things like changing tempo, changing key, etc. And I think classical music could do amazing things if it took advantage of the opportunity to use an infinite number of instruments (which is now possible because of computers), instruments which can do things that no human could do (like perfect timing, extremely-short-duration sounds, etc.)

Moon Boots - Got Somebody (Hannes Fischer Edit)

• This is a good example of something I hate in house music: taking a good theme and sttttttretching it out to 10 minutes with no interesting variation.
  • It reminds me of when you hear about drug dealers diluting their stock.
  • This is really common when you actually go to a club to dance. I think it has to do with music rights being really expensive.

  • “The remix process is simple. I start by searching for acapella versions of famous pop songs on SoundCloud or YouTube. A lot of girls and boys do really personal covers, bringing a new dimension to the originals. In my opinion, a great cover is one that brings a totally different vibe to a track that maybe you didn't love at first.” He then goes to work on the track before asking permission to use the respective vocal parts. “In general I download their voice, build the track, then send it to them for their authorization once I'm finished. They're generally very happy.”

  • The story behind his successful cover of Gnarls Barkley’s epic hit ‘Crazy’ reveals the same process. “I found the cover on SoundCloud in pretty high quality. Joie's version completely knocked me off my feet. I composed the bass line on my keyboard, produced the track and sent it to her. She was really happy so we decided to post it. Hopefully we can do more tracks together in the future.” The two have never even met in person, just online. Joie Tan lives in Singapore. She's 19, a very pretty girl with a lovely smile and great energy. She studied music at a Singapore-based art school named LaSalle. As soon as the track was ready to go, TEEMID went about sending it to influential blogs and YouTube channels in the hope of it being posted. “The French outlet Electro Posé was the first to post our track, then Delicieuse Musique playlisted ‘Crazy’. Later Majestic, The Sound You Need and many more followed suit. Thanks to them I got a lot of credibility.” The song also received a large amount of plays. TEEMID never believed in contacting labels or sending them demos beforehand, but when ‘Crazy’ hit over 2 million plays on SoundCloud, labels actually started contacting him.

  • This has now led to established artists sending him official remix requests. His first remix for young British Pop sensation Birdy is currently in the works. “I've got some other remixes in the pipeline, but they have yet to be confirmed. A lot of young producers want me to remix their tracks, but I’d prefer to stay with the big names.“ For now, TEEMID is happy to stick to the covers and remixes that truly inspire him. “I don't want to get stuck in a routine, just find more great covers to do. I'd love to sometime release an album with all the covers I've done.”
