Nine Inch Nails - The Background World (TweakerRay ReMix)

[@Lumberzach1983]

Youre still the king of nin remixes. I love em man

[@TweakerRay]

Thanks a lot for the big compliment ! Much appreciated. Signed - your king ;-) Stay Safe TweakerRay

[@kimmyfreak200]

this was beautiful and magnificent ! wow!...this is the kind u leave on repeat and listen to for hours

[@TweakerRay]

That was the goal ;-) I already heard it over and over while creating it... and not got bored of it. Then it seems to be a good remix ;-) Cheers TweakerRay

[@davidordoukhanian8407]

The best track off of "add violence". It summons anxiety and dread in the best way.

[@Nuka13]

I'm not gonna lie I've loved nin since the early 90's and what makes me loves Tweaker Ray's remixes are that he takes songs I barely rememberd and transmoged them into some of my absolute favorite nin songs because of the new light he shines on them.

[@boynamed_sue]

Trent needs to hire you to be his touring keyboardist!! :)

[@TweakerRay]

Thanks a lot for the kind compliments. But I think Alessandro Cortini is doing a far more outstanding job than I could ever do. I would be honored to do an official remix for them. Thanks for listening.

[@sledderal1016]

I don't understand how you can make so many amazing NIN remixes but I'm here for it. Always a well produced and thoughtful new spin.

[@TweakerRay]

Thank you very much! I try to make the music i love ;-) seems some people also enjoy this. Thanks for the kind words.

[@JustinRichards]

You have no idea what kind of impact that your remixes have had on my life. No exaggeration. You got me through some rough times back in 2014-2016.

[@TweakerRay]

Thank you Justin for the kind words. I am happy that the music comforted you through rough times. Sometimes the remixes did exactly the same to me. Thanks mate!

[@h.i.1527]

You write these mixes just out of random ideas? you must be a magic man. You know, lots of us grew up listening to you. Our nostalgia right here. I will always think Survivalism is badass 😎

[@TweakerRay]

Hi H.I. Nope its not that random as it seems ;-) i mostly start with listening to the vocals and then develop some ideas to compose the music around the vocals. As a classical trained piano player I love doing new melodys with some synths. Thanks a lot for the kind words. I am happy when people enjoy my work. I hope you check my original music out too at tweakerray.bandcamp.com - thanks a lot for the support. Stay safe! Cheers TweakerRay

This remix is stunning. So much emotion. Brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful 😊😊😊😊

[@TweakerRay]

Thanks a lot. It was also made with a lot of emotions… it was the start of the war in ukraine 🇺🇦 when I did this remix… the emotions of that dark depressing feel was in me while I did this… sad dark times :-(

[@markholland8604]

Roger waters from Pink Floyd once said that the only important thing about a piece of music, is if it moves you and this is the case with this track. Amazing lyrics and music and a fantastic remix. Keep up yr amazing work 🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@crawlingkhaos8970]

This is a pretty damn good mashup. I honestly wish more people would do stuff with And All That Could Have Been. Good to see it done, here.

[@TweakerRay]

Hi! Thanks a lot. Just to clarify: this is no mashup. Its a Remix. A mashup would be 2 already existing productions „mashed“ together. This is not the case here. I took just the vocals and build the instrumental from scratch. Cheers TweakerRay

[@crawlingkhaos8970]

@@TweakerRay Ray, I do apologize sincerely. I simply said "mashup" due to the obvious instrumental influences used from "And All That Could Have Been". Which again, I must do nothing but praise since the influence works SO well here in terms of melody. Clearly, this IS a remix which draws influence from AATCHB. However, it is your original work. Even the AATCHB parts were redone by you, so yes, calling this a mashup was wrong of me. You sampled nothing and re-created melodies on your own. Great job. But still, I gotta say...I still wish more people would do more with And All That Could Have Been. I bet you could make a pretty great remix of it based on what i've seen, here. You seem to know, understand and respect melody structure =p

[@StuartRoland]

Up there with the best of your work to date in my opinion, thanks for another awesome remix! Also I'm curious how you got the isolated vocals, I didn't know of any acapella or multitracks for the EP trillogy? Great work however you managed it!

[@elijahdavallos6955]

Someone found some discs of the Add Violence album with instrumental and isolated vocal tracks of all songs. I reccomend you listen to the early version of Not Anymore, it will blow your mind.

[@TweakerRay]

Thank you Stuart! Check the nineinchnailsmusic youtube channel (not the official one i guess) ;-) I also fell into a rabbit 🐇 hole 🕳 and had to do this to distract me from the terrible happenings in the world 🌎 right now… ☮️ stay safe! Peace! ✌️

[@johnnylizarraga606]

Tweaker your remixes always get me going they always bring out the truth around me . Fuck the bullshit. When are you going to do something with Depeche Mode? King David

[@TweakerRay]

Well… Tweaker is another alias of „chris vrenna“ so my artistname is „TweakerRay“ ;-) but if you want some Depeche Mode Remixes you should check this maybe: tweakerray.de/remixes.html - be aware I have done them 22 years ago… with much less equipment and less experience ;-)

[@jaimelabonte446]

Please do ruiner

[@TweakerRay]

not really possible... I need at least a good acapella for that... seperating this with software is always a compromise which does not make a good quality vocal for me... Also doing these remixes don't pay my bills... I do them for FREE, I can't sell them... So my time is also limited... so I have to pass this for now... sorry...

[@wormwoodinthehood]

I hope you are still tweaking on rays comrade.

[@TweakerRay]

What do you mean by that?

[@wormwoodinthehood]

@@TweakerRay I was making a play on words in regards to your name. Like tweak as in remix and rays like in reference to the lasers used to read and write CDs (in regards to music).

@@wormwoodinthehood 🤣 okay now i got it… as a stupid german i always have to translate and don‘t get such jokes quickly… thanks for the clarification. Cheer!

[@aaronpoltrock4845]

Don’t know if you’ve done … gave up … if not the world would be a better place if you did

[@TweakerRay]

Also Gave up has not a acapella which i can access easily... there is software to isolate the vocals but its not yet good... some songs are also better when you don't touch them if you don't have access to a quality remix kit. "Gave up" is one of them which I won't be able to do for the time now... sorry

Yo I lost access to another account but yeah this is the successor to w o r m w o o d and Yle Eckles. I have something called loose association and coupled with my referential schizotype thinking ( I am one of those folks that despite my love of science, I take great stock in signs, omens, talisman and hexes and such and tend to use the timing of track drops and the relevant emotional, symbolic, as well as literal synchronicities to ... Torture myself. My augury is coping mechanism. There is no difference between outright torture and being capable of prophecy. Anyways all that stuff was just to illustrate the real weight of the music we both love in my wasps nest of a heart. It was to provide context to the manner in which I am asking you what nin lyrics provided the most... Anything... During a break in the order of your day to day life? Or in general really. I love your work as always sir 🪞🐈‍⬛
