Her mixing choices for Homogenic still amaze me after 20 years of listening. As you said It's really an example on how make it simple and take simple but mind-blowing choices (like take off the effects for the strings on "5 years" at the middle of the song in order to release energy and increase the climax)

Watching googly eyes for six minutes to learn absolutely nothing! 6 minutes you could have spent with your music!

Bjork is living proof less can be more

Yeah, every producer should have a "LESS IS MORE" post-it on the monitor. Much of modern music is grotesquely overproduced.

great video, thanks!

Man i wished bjork came into my room to give me production advice

1:20 This is EXACTLY what I did, except I practiced to the point of mental exhaustion and being sick of jazz, not an injury. I’m trying to get back into playing instruments and really enjoying listening to and making other genres now because I really do love it.

I wanna meet her and she can steal me away.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

ok you're handsome

Thanks for this great video - I am sure it took a lot of time to finish Very inspiring!

I especially liked the part where you broke down Wolfgang von Wolfgang von Wolfgang's progressive use of polyphony.

I think the only legit advice is using the tools you have, using your guts and not necessarily imitating self proclaimed producers on UA-cam. I'm not sure what album you listened to, but Homogenic is VERY layered, also thanks to the dreamy production of Howie B. When Bjork refers to beats on a side and strings on another she's talking about the initial idea of the album, a sort of special album where the listener could increase with the stereo knob the amount of strings or beats, personalizing the experience. Well, already in 1997 everybody was using CD players with no equalizing knob so the project was aborted and the sound was made homogenous, hence the name... And, just for reference, Bjork and Homogenic have been the most stolen work in music for decaded, and no one ever credit her for this...

My brain heard drums that sound like lava oozing out of the ground...my mouth went pok pok bolup boluk kurukuruk pah palap ppa kurr kuru cloug... soo, close enough 😂

So, heres what i got: 1) Reject all traditional music. 2) Get Obsessed with guitar Pedals. 3) The Possibilities of limitations are endless. Am I close??

I subbed

Probably the best music production tutorial ever 💚

hey man, after finishing two videos of yours and suscribing to your channel, the total of subscribers you have shocked me. I thought I was watching a famous and big channel. I think that's where you are headed. Thanks for the videos you make, they really interested me. Do you offer online classes?

Whilst at it, don't use EQ and compressors while you're making a song. Just basic FX and basic EQ and comp. if the sound really needs it (or other fx of course), and be careful with levels - set the levels so they sound good without any EQ and comp. Mixing - EQ , Comp, master reverb, limiter, is supposed to be just the final polish to the song. 👍Cheers!

parameters and deadlines = tracks

What do I do to understand music theory? Is tutoring the best option?

I had the pleasure of meeting Björk and got to work with her on her biophillia app when I was in high school that was the best week of my life

Good advices

I relate with just about everything you said.

Awesome!

Surprised all you goofballs haven’t cancelled her for “cultural appropriation” yet. Yet… Get to work goofballs.

3:13 I KNOW THERES A BJORK SONG LIKE THIS BUT IDK WHICH ONE AM I HAVING A BUTTERFLY EFFECT...?

I'm sure having Mark Bell around didn't hurt

Good advises! Your voice on vid is too high frequency EQ .

One thing... she's a genius, most of us are not even close :)

I actually started lo-fi recording with hardware, it was really useful to me starting that way as a home producer. I have used Ableton in the past but usually only for multitrack arranging/recording and the only DAW kinda thing I use now is Caustic 3 on my phone because it is comparatively limited. Good video.

Well, honestly, why doesn't every producer put more effort into doing more original stuff rather than stealing/plagiarising from others? no wonder every top 40 song sounds like everything else.

Mark Bell was a Genius…

Thanks! Bjorks production isnt spoken about enough

What many producers lack is an actual conception of what the music should be like. This is what Björk is really good at, she knows what she wants and turns what she hears in her head and imagination into music. The other thing many producers nowadays seem to lack is the ability to let things develop, insert emotion, and have space. If you keep on adding layers, things sound small and are really difficult to mix. Make space, let things breath, it will sound bigger immediately. Make room for emotions instead of that over produced "perfect" pop vocal sound with fake Disney emotions. It's ok if things are bold and daring. Bjørk often makes me really uncomfortable with her singing (Medulla…). I don't like it but man do I appreciate it. It is what makes her music what it is. And it works…

The genius behind Homogenic is MARK BELL (R.I.P) ACT LIKE U KNO!

Squarepusher and aphex twin have a lot we can learn from 👍

Nice video man thank the algo for boosting it 🎉

Re: Limitations. Look at John Foxx's list of rules for Metamatic

I didn't realise how involved she was with the production of the track.

hear hear. solid advice there. listen what bjork says and stop being resentful and start embrace shit instead. let's grow up.

great video

duude, your video was awesome!! I felt engaged the whole time. Very well crafted, Im subbing to see more !

Good stuff. going back to study this album now

1 be original

BYÖRK: rhymes with work, Kirk, and jerk. Is Icelandinc for Birch, like the tree

✨🤟👁️❤️‍🔥👁️🤘✨

The first rule is there are no rules The second rule is trickier

inspiring video mate do more of this

Her decision to go with only beats, strings and vocals is reminiscent of Peter Gabriel's "no cymbals" rule for his third album. Self inflicted limitations breeds invention, arrangement wise.
