@@SyncrisisVideos Absolutely wrong. Don't you dare to compare reputed COMPOSERS with contemporary pop artists.

Constructing the song from scratch was amazing, and hearing how close the final track was to the original even moreso. But the most amazing part is realizing how Bjork's "little-extra-something" elevates it further than you could possibly reach even with all that work.
@@hutch5799 What? She is really talented and defientely knows how to sing, and you know almost every artist edits and fixes their voices, even a little bit.
@@santiagozaratea.9756 Mate, no disrespect to the singer (she has a really really nice tone), but that vocal is autotuned to oblivion. It's a production decision, nothing to do with the singer. She actually does some lovely glottal stops that sound natural...my guess is they tried to make them ALL absolutely perfect. Which is a huge mistake in my humble opinion.
Not detracting from anyone, the vocals are just amazing. I would drown to sirens in a desert. I didn't realise this had so many sounds, very unique sound too.
You have no idea how much this song stirs my memory and emotions, and YOU nailed it perfectly with precision of a deconstuction... like an iconic fashion designer, stitch by stich, Bravo!
Fascinating breakdown and really well explained. Great job with the production, and the performances from the vocalist and players were all very impressive. I got a lot from this tutorial, both information and enjoyment - thanks!
You can so obviously hear Tricky and Talvin Singh in the production, and then Bjørks vocal, tieing it all together. This track is so obviously brilliant. And a great reconstruction, as always!
This is insane. That you even deconstructed it let alone did a whole video with incredible explanations and history to credit everyone involved.. and then showed everything in the DAW I use. Wow. Fantastic work.
What ? I'm shocked that you have Glaiza on vocals. Not a big fan of her but I knew her from the television. I'm happy that she's there leading her voice to sing a song from one of my favourite artists of all time. 💝💝💝
Thanks. With this kind of video everybody can understand how much work there's behind a song. The singer is very good, covering Bjork is really difficult.
How can I learn to make music like that? I came here because I'm a Bjork fan but I'm mesmerized by all the tools this guy uses. It's like playing with toys! it looks so fun!
Always liked Bjork but wow, this is amazing stuff...., You've given us a wonderful peek behind the wizards curtain. Got to appreciate the years of knowledge & skill, the genius & love, hardwork and creativity you musicians conjure up and distill, just to birth new and inspired music. Like Ambrosia from the gods. Thank you.
OMG I can't believe seeing Glaiza in this vid haha. She is a famous actress in Philippines. Bjork is not that known in Philippines so I'm glad to see a Filipina covering her song on this one.
Love this song! Was in college when this album released and got into a lot of electronic music then. I loved that Blörk embraced it and it. Wish I could see how they put it together without the DAW.
Yes, we've enjoyed it very much. Deeply appreciated as well. I had not listened to it since...well a long time. At that time I had not started using DAW's yet. And now, listening to it again after having gained some knowledge about composition, It has blown my mind. What a piece of art! Each instrument, each note is so powerfully emotional, harmonies, timing and placement are perfect. And all in such original and creative manner. Few modern compositions come close to it. There's a lot of very good compositions, But here it's a whole different level. It is as relevant and modern sounding as it was upon release. And your rendering of it is spot on! Thank you so much and congratulations. Amazing job. And none of that tiring effects and gimmick to be found on all youtube channels. So, double thank you for that.
This is a masterclass. Thank you for your ingenious work and thank you for sharing it with us! This song was my debut in Björk's work back in 1993. I'm absolutely flabbergasted and delighted.
Very nice video and great performances! Glaiza's vocals are amazing. I got this album for christmas around the time it was released, but since I'm a heavy metal guy I only listened to it a couple of times. I remember thinking Björk was pretty cool, and that her voice was unique, but the music was just a bit too weird for me back then. I still have the cd in my collection and now, 25 years later, I believe I might be ready to give it another listen. :)
What an amazing performance by these students. I have a warm spot for anything Bjork does and this reproduction is spot on. Quite a task to pull off the vocals, but she does an amazing job. Definitely worth the watch.
This really touched me... I'm a super fan and this deconstruction was so informative and beautiful.. Amazing job and so grateful you shared it for us...
this is so amazing and i thank you for this video!!!!!! i had a music production project where i had to recreate this song. it was so difficult to try and find the exact japanese bells and the different samples that björk used! i commend you for this
This is my favourite song and I can't believe one of my favourite actress in the Philippines is here to cover it oh my gawdd Glaiza I love you so muchh❤
@@Char10tti3 Kali is amazing. I never would have found her if it weren't for her version popping up when I was listening to Bjork. Check out After The Storm it's another great one of hers.
Jeromy Williams So happy to see another person appreciate Kali’s appreciation of Björk’s brilliance. She definitely lived up to the original and is such an incredible artist herself.
This is so cool! Great song and excellent thorough deconstruction and recreation. Also watching you work Ableton for a song that I know really well taught me more in 30 minutes than the hours of tutorials. Thank you!
I'm a huge fan of Bjork, but this was never 1 of my favorite songs of hers. However, watching this recreation and hearing this woman perform her own version makes me appreciate it so much more. I think I may even like this version more???
See how he pushes the buttons with that hand gesture every time, like a magician? well, that's how he wipes his ass, how he turns off the lights, how he pays the taxi driver, etc So majestic! lol
I broke this down and re-composed it on an Alesis Ion/Micron setup (to cover it live, solo) back in ~08/09. Probably my favorite Björk track, with so many great interwoven elements. I’m sure I didn’t do it justice haha, but it was a fun project. Thanks for posting this video

It would be cool if you did a deconstruct of 'Hidden Place'. The way that song builds in its use of production is magical.
OMG YESSS
Wow yes
yes
It's such a masterpiece! It amazes me every time I listen to it.
can i hide there too??
This mans knowledge of music history and attention to detail is incredible
please deconstruct running up that hill, the classical kate bush song
José Victor Oliveira second that!
Third that.
Fourth that, or Breathe if you fancy something a bit more interesting
Good song
Yes yes yes!!!
Hunter would be beautiful when deconstructed, too
the strings and beats in that song are incredible. i'm still listening to homogenic regularly after over 20 years
All of her songs basically.
It would be like a thousand times harder
I’d click on that video so fast
@@dayglowjoe me too. top on my spotify list

Thanks for letting us all know!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaackshulllllllyyyyy
I can't imagine how anyone can come up with mixing all of these different instruments and tunes together into a song.
As a fan of Björk, and an admirer of music production, I enjoyed every minute of this video! Chapeau!
Sounds #argento …

Your probably the only one, my guy... they suck balls...

love Bjork one of my fav artists ever been a fan since I was 13 !
Wow overwhelming. And we thought it was so simple.
Great recreation of this timeless, true masterpiece. Björk is out of this world gorgeous in her early/mid 90s videos.
