@@Business_News no you missed the point. When you write music, you come up with melodies you like. And often times the melodies you come up with are songs you've already heard that are just kinda sitting in the back of your mind. Then you suddenly realize that you didn't write anything. You simply subconsciously recalled a song you've heard. Believe me just sit at a piano for like 20 min and try to write a song and you'll see what i mean. I've done it do many times. So in the video you can see on his face the moment where he thought to himself "lol damn this is just sandstorm" and then proceeds to finish out the melody for fun.
@@AnEnemyAnemone1 I don't know if you are trolling or just an asshole, but either way you should get off your high horse because the darude sandstorm doesn't evens start till half way into the video or so. For future reference, I suggest you refrain from referring to people as retards cause you're too arrogant to realize your PoV isn't perfect. To be honest, I'm confident in my skills when it comes to reading people's bodylanguage in a controlled enviorment. (like through a video,) so I have trouble believing someone who's first reaction to someone who's enjoying a video and making a fun comment on it is "Lol, your stupid, haha retard"
As someone who dabbles in synthesizer tech, I can't tell you the amount of sheer joy that comes when you're messing around with different voices and then you find the one voice that goes to a song you know, so you then start scrambling to find the notes and chords to play it.
i think in this case its even funnier considering that the preset he loaded in even had the same exact sequence like the original, darude has just taken the raw preset :D
Yeah, but working in that space probably earns him enough EACH YEAR to buy several houses in your neighborhood. The economics of something that earns money are slightly different. After you pay off your mortgage, you just get to stop spending money on that thing. Once a workplace (e.g. a studio or workshop) is paid off, it's pure profit.
this will forever be hilarious. you really see him going thru like "okay okay maybe we got something here" then immediately realizing LMFAOOO. gets me every time
he still has something. That's like saying "oh no that's just the guitar tone from that one guy who uses a Statocaster and a Fuzz/Tubescreamer" or "oh those drums are just The Isley Brothers"
Yeah there's no need for all that equipment, they know it. The thing is that they want to use that equipment for the aforementioned reason, ease of use and the other reason, they like it
This is where musical talent come into play. It sounds arrogant it's just a fact. Some people are better athletically, it's the same with music. The greatest will compose unique sounds deadmau5 of them
he thought he was going down an undiscovered path... probably feeling pretty smug about where he was taking his sound and how nobody had been here, and then, he found footsteps.
Just like how there have been multiple species that eventually evolve into a crab like form, with enough time, everything will become darude sandstorm.
@@noneofyourbusiness2447 all that stuff is unnecessary, but so was the “overpaid” part lol you sound like a hater bro, don’t do that. Find your hustle and get yourself overpaid too
@@qkg6297 I use a DAW and I've made more complex tracks that brought me more satisfaction than this run of the mill edm producer. Just because you can't handle criticism of your childhood idol doesn't imply that I am jealous of his set up. Everything you can do in that superfluous studio can be completed in a DAW. It is weird to me how overspending on unnecessary gear is encouraged. Also it is interesting how idiotic and low-caliber some of the responses I am getting are.
When you don't play instruments and use trial-and-error to find the right notes, seeing someone jam out a tune without even trying may as well be magic.
I play instruments but I don't know how to read music. This happens a lot when jamming. I accidentally started playing "Fire Water Burn" last time I picked up my guitar. I accidentally played "Lean on Me" my first week of owning a piano. I acidentally broke out "Sunshine of Your Love" on a cello once. There's a lot of good songs that aren't difficult to play, and if you mess around enough, you'll stumble on the notes.
To be fair, Joel has talked about how he doesn't really know music theory and uses lots of trial and error to figure it out. The important thing is to try, the only thing that matters is does it sound good?
A couple years ago I was messing around with a keyboard and composed this nice riff, put some chords and built such a good tune out of it. I was ready to write down lyrics to it and all, only to find out it was pretty much the same riff from Chris Isaak's Wicked Game but in a different key lol
I’m so glad he started smiling, having fun is one of the most important aspects of making good music. Good work comes from good effort, and good effort comes most naturally when you enjoy the thing you do.
I once made an orchestral piece, was super proud. In the morning, listened again, 'woah what', increased the BPM by about 40 and realised I'd somehow copied the postman pat theme tune
One day I wrote this absolutely beautiful, soulful melody. I was singing it to myself all day and started writing a guitar piece that revolved entirely around it. Until somebody pointed out that it was the fucking intro to Careless Whisper lmao. It's weird how our brains can remember things like that subconsciously (and annoying, I love that melody).
@@PontschPauPau3451 funny how those kinda things work out! I guess when you start writing a melody, you try and figure out where the next note will be - subconsciously you remember those other songs and write something similar because that's where you feel it should go? That's my best guess towards it :")
Ohh myyy godddd guyssss I JUST WOOSHED SOMEONE 🤭😱😱 Ohh myy goddd guyssss I JUST WOOSHED SOMEONE 🤭😱😱 You wont believe what just happened 🤔 I was scrolling through youtube comment section 🔻 when I saw someone make a guess what... A JOKE 😂🤣 So guess what I did, I CLICK VIEW MORE REPLIES 😱 AND THIS IS THE BEST PART!!!! Someone.... didnt.... get.... the..... JOKE 🤦♂️🤦♂️ So like every intelligent human on this planet I WOOSHED HIMMMM 😂😂😂😂 HE WAS DEFINITELY SO EMBARRASSED NOW IT FELT SO GOOD🤤😩💦 Omg he is soo dumb like how can someone not get a joke 😂😂 Guys pro tip, when someone doesnt get a joke just r/woosh him 🤣😂 This is my story, my mom is calling me now, I have to go👋
Music basically started from some dickhead smacking parts around, and acting like a prick instead of cooking/making/procuring food. I feel like we've taken that grain of idiot rice, and made a mecha.
This. And his two reactions. His first laugh when he noticed he is close, and when he hits the exact note and he throws his head back in laugh as if he had been kicked by a mule
SyariStudios have you seen deadmau5 he lives his life awesomely, he has atvs and shit and just rides around his house a seadoo that he pulled with his Ferrari tho pretty sure that was sponsored but oh well it's still cool.
This is just like Carcinization. Where things that aren’t crabs keep evolving into crabs. Songs that aren’t Sandstorm will find a way to become sandstorm.
Really bizarre how I literally just watched a video about carcinization minutes before seeing this comment. I've never even heard of the word until watching the aforementioned video.
I made a song in school on the keyboard for my exam. I was so proud, I thought it was my magnum opus, I was gonna get a band together and make a whole 2 minute song out of it, then later on that night while I was lying in bed, I realized I'd just recreated the Halo music
At least he realised straight away. Hands up any musician who’s gone to bed thinking they’ve truly written the song of their life, only to listen to it back in the morning and think something like “oh f*ck, it’s Hard Days Night”.......
Imagine going to bed thinking you can truly create something original only to wake up realizing that innovation occurs from what came before. We stand on the shoulders of giants :v
The look on your face is so priceless and absolutely beautiful.. Makes one realize how you can find a diamond or gem in the most un predictable places. and music comes from that place..
Yes. I just saw him live a few weeks ago and there were a couple times he stepped down from his cube to the front of the stage and interacted with the crowd. He even noticed someone throw a glow stick on stage and stopped mid- sentence to walk over, pick it up, and throw it back into the crowd.
No hate to him but I’d do a bit of digging before saying that. He’s cheated a lot of people out of a lot of money because he would make parts of a beat for a song and bc the major rights to it go to the artist and not him he won’t allow them to post the songs on major platforms for years because he won’t get as much money from it as them so it’s basically just a way to keep them from earning much from it as well
I love his journey in this video, at first he's thinking, "I'm onto something, I feel it!", then as he continues he makes a shocking discovery, "Damn it! I stumbled into Darude Sandstorm....Well since I'm already here...", and he just rolls with it while clearly enjoying himself
Well he did make a discovery, darude didn't tell anyone what settings he used to make sandstorm. It's is like finding the recipe to Roman concrete which was lost and only recently rediscovered
This reminds me of the episode of “Malcolm in the Middle” where he spends days writing this heartfelt song to his family, then his little brother points out that it is the Meow-Mix melody.
I did that as a kid messing around with those keyboards you'd get for Christmas one year and forget about for half your life. I spent like 3 days fucking with it and accidentally recreated the first ~half of "sunday morning" by maroon 5
Always think back to that. Too many times have I also composed themes for things I've never heard and realize it's been done decades ago by someone else.
This gave me lot of confidence lol. Cause a lot of times I accidentally make a song I have heard like that and if it happens with deadmaus too then I must be on the right track lol.
Was practicing some simple chords on keyboard a couple weeks ago and realized that like 20yrs later the melody from ATC - All Around the World is still playing on repeat in some forgotten corner of my mind.
Well said friend. The reason 99% of music is shite these days is cuz any halfwhit can press buttons on a musical computer. They're not musicians at all!
