Joep Beving - Hanging D (Max Cooper Remix)
Official Video by Ksawery Komputery (Ksawery Kirklewski) Max Cooper: I changed the rules of remixing for this project, and instead of using audio from the original piece, I imagined what could happen if Joep was in my studio playing my synths, instead of playing his piano. Each piano note was converted to synth notes and then I set about becoming an orchestrator of Joep's hypnotic "Hanging D". It was nice to discover that hiding in there in his beautiful stripped back piano piece was a synth epic crying out for hugeness. The whole thing turned into a contrasting of emotions, from defeat to victory with the idealism of screaming Prophet and Moog oscillators hard panned for maximum width. I kept the whole mix and process simple and raw, following the minimalism of the original, but in electronic form.
