[@pointblankmusicschool]

What track do you want to see Ski deconstruct next?

[@nickolaybalynskiy508]

BICEP - ATLAS

[@hymen0callis]

The Aztec Mystic - Knights of the Jaguar

[@paullemenach5429]

An LCD soundsystem song ( maybe 'someone great' would be fun to watch)

[@ardilladent]

Juno Reactor - Mona Lisa Overdrive (preferably Matrix Reloaded version) please :)

[@josephdavidmusic]

Boris Brejcha - Schleierwolken

[@Thefreakyfreek]

It's only the best song ever made that is not known by everyone I sometimes listen to to it 4 times in a row and it stil gets me happy evry time

[@BaiduRick]

Couldn’t agree more. Anytime I’m feeling down, I throw this on

[@SB-od9sl]

I know right? It's such a happy track

[@peterkelly8357]

Heard this tune for the first time yesterday in a coffee shop, had to Shazam it.

[@mllevy081]

go to the live version

[@MBGCORE]

Awesome thank you

[@pointblankmusicschool]

Thanks for watching.

[@Chris_Love]

You can´t do anything else but smile when listening to Todd Terje!

[@deeiks12]

It might not be humanly possible.

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

and dance :)

[@zvonimirklenovic4126]

You can also drink !

[@BeniRoseMusic]

If you haven't watched Todd Terje's live set from the 2014 Oya Festival, I highly recommend it. The whole set is incredible (he performs with a live band) but he ends with this song and it's just endless joy!

[@maizena7646]

I've been trying to find it but the sound is scuffed. Do you have a link?

@@dafunkyshit ah thank you - I appreciate it but I meant the entire set he had. I've seen the Inspector Norse part and it's awesome :D

[@WhiteErFox]

18:42 and beyond.. you could play this melodie all by itself for 3 minutes and people still wouldn't get bored of it.

[@muaddib667]

First thing I thought when I heard this song was "this is a masterclass in song production" Clearly I was correct.

[@josephdavidmusic]

You should of seen my happy face when I received your notification video .. "Inspector Norse" is one of my favourites tracks ♥️♥️

[@maxnelson9207]

This is the best song ever made.

[@sadiel1]

so glad for this class right on time during this quarantine

[@McKinleyMorann]

Superb job by the tutor. Doing that flawlessly in front of a live crowd, bravo.

[@AnonymousV4]

I don't know anything about music production but Inspector Norse has always been a favorite track of mine. Watched this video and it's extremely rare that we get something like this. Clearly a very skilled musician walking us through this track and all of its special parts and moments. It made me appreciate it even more. You seem like an excellent teacher as well. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 10/10

[@AdrianMulligan]

One of my fav tracks of all time...beautiful!

[@ayalav02]

Can’t believe i found this tutorial. This track is a gem and still to this day will gives me goosebumps and make my body move invulnerability 😂

[@DemiGodsMusic]

Ski is the consumate pro. Amazing and that track is a stone-cold classic.

[@rhythm.lounge]

This is so dope! If I was in that audience I'd be so hyped. Awesome rendition and incredibly engaging deconstruction. All the instrumentation was spot on, bravo!! 👏

[@PateVansAnchez]

This is the track that always gets impromptu dance parties going in my share house. Then the rest of the album.

[@dimitri_vasia]

One of the best tracks ever! My soundtrack when i leave from work.

[@pt6q2-]

une pure merveille

[@SoulVelocity]

One of the best tracks ever made! 💯

[@Rubicon1985]

Should be the national anthem for the world

[@jamesaita]

Good God. This makes me want to sign up for this course sooooo badly. WOW. Wish the last section was done as slowly as the drum programming. (Would love to see a bit more of the synthesis elements too but hey maybe I'm asking for too much.)

[@Captain-wc6vj]

Ski has tremendous skills! This track is one of my favorites. I really enjoyed hearing Ski's version and would love to hear some of his original stuff. I bet it rocks! 😊

[@ArunKumar-pr5ly]

Wow! such a lovely and precise deconstruction. Thank you so much Ski. Always a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos.

[@lifeispower]

Thank u so much!!!! Much love for Sky!!

[@gwz]

"Inspector" may well be the best music video I've seen

[@lamainjaune5163]

Wonderful, thanks !

[@atreide9358]

love the Ski Oakenfull lessons. Always excellent choice of tracks deconstructed

[@gingerelvis]

The most underwhelming audience response to a fantastic track

[@theonlydkdreng]

That's because there is no microphone aimed at picking up the audience reaction. It seems like their is only one mic, which is only picking up the host. Also we can't see their reaction, which only exacerbates the problem

[@Fwuzeem]

Really excellent job, and I use this track in my lessons as well

[@TheWaveFiles]

Hats off ! Pretty hard to do this live

[@PiotrekPomorski]

that was wonderful! the build up, music theory and the ending with involvement of one from the audience. pretty things, thanks for that :)

[@jamesorgan_]

Amazing

[@deepfault]

I got to see Todd Terje on shrooms a few years back in Brooklyn. Still one of the best nights of my life 😭😭👌

[@davetourle4250]

I found him by accident when I was on a love heart ( I'm sure you know what I mean by that) and played the whole "it's album time album" and didn't stop moving the whole time. He is amazing. Can't get enough of him now.

[@chauffeurCA]

thanks for the midi files. mighty fine of ya.

[@gogolMax]

Fantastic video, love it!

[@chadless7216]

Not gonna lie, the only reason I came to this video was just to hear how Todd Terje's last name is pronounced, but that was a great video!

[@Djolewatchtastife]

Fkin' love this track

[@nzgkilla]

Best feel good song ever Todd is the man

[@fibranijevidra]

Amazing. I love this series.

[@Silent.Hedges]

this is awesome, thanks!!!

[@powerpc127]

Music content aside, thank you for teaching me how to properly say 'Terje.' I'm one of those weirdos who insists on saying 'Moog' like 'rogue' because that's how it's pronounced in Germany, and I've often wondered how to say 'Terje.' Now I know!

[@pointblankmusicschool]

So many people still pronounce 'Moog' like a cow would.

[@jonathanstark5541]

Ski u r such a super nice and humble person, I hope one day I can shake your hand, I'm sure u r an awesome man. Greetings from Rome :)

[@RockLoftyBeats]

That is such a classic MAAAAN! Love it and worth so much that you could do this video - Thanks a lot 👌👌👌👌

[@paulkerrigan9857]

This is really fun. Cheers.

Great video

[@amulpatel]

that was awesome!! love inspector norse

[@nepsun7083]

dude inspector norse, wow

[@rontonic]

Great breakdown / deconstruction of an amazing song! How to download the project MIDI files?

[@glasgowunderground]

Love this

[@MarcoTwellmann]

Key signature is G minor (/Bb major) people, he's making it unnecessarily complicated with arguing for a mixolydian mode. Chords are VI -> VII (or IV -> V in Bb). Also, the modulation in playing G major rather than G minor is quite common, it's just to surprise the ear and feel more uplifting and it does not mean we have to consider changing the overall key signature to make sense of that modulation in the context of G minor.

[@skioakenfull]

MT Although I agree that calling it G minor may simplify the understanding, I feel the key centre (tonic) as F. I deliberated over this however!

[@MarcoTwellmann]

Ski Oakenfull Sure, and it’s not like “the math is off” or anything :) But when creating melody and other arrangement parts for that looped progression it’s a bit more intuitive and straightforward to tell students to play as if in Gm - like how the synth melody/riff accentuates the high ‘g’ and isolated would feel like a natural minor melody, or if you were to improvise other riffs, play a one-note rythm guitar, or even jammin blues scale, all would work and feel natural in Gm. I feel arranging in mixolydian, or any other mode for that matter, it is most often very melody-related, more so than purely defined by chord structure - like the tune Scarborough Fair :). But ofc its just my opinion - otherwise it was a great educational video!

[@rayoneill2313]

this is so awesome :)

[@jeangreenfield5993]

Brilliant track & vid 👏💙😍

[@damo5791]

It would be great to see a follow up to this where Ski shows us what sounds are used/created for each of the tracks including the beat. Is there any chance the Ableton Project file including samples/sounds can be shared, please?

[@jamesaita]

Underrated comment.

[@edihoxhalli4885]

awesome videooo !!! :) :)

[@el_teodoro]

I fucking love this beat. When I die I want this to play on my funeral.

[@bradenrodriguez5183]

[@thomaslamiaud]

Hey, thank you again for the course, very interesting, by the way I love this song so much (as much as DeLorean Dynamite ahah) - juste I want to add that the MIDI link doesn't work actually, could you make it available again, please ? Thanks !

[@kebman]

Those beautifyl jazzy chords.....

[@sweepy90]

thank for reminding me that I will never be able to produce any tunes :))

[@lloydodonovan]

Any more other than this was ahead of its time and hit just every emotional nerve. Magic 🪄

[@jasonlaakeofficial144]

21:10 : shazam recognizes it as the original. Well done again! COngrats!

[@major_tennis]

That video was cool AF, I wish every video had as much preparation go into it

[@densek510]

thanks a lot ))

[@PendelSteven]

5:36 Still no Presonus Studio One, ey? Personally I would drop Logic. There are so many people now that change from Apple computers to PC's. But okay. If you know Logic, Pro Tools and Ableton it's pretty easy to adapt to the best DAW imho.

[@fraicheness]

This is amazing content. Thank you! So all the sounds were still generadted by the soft verison of ARP 2600?

[@theColombiano11]

Lotus' cover of this song brought me to know the brilliance of Todd Terje

[@Lewis-YouTube]

How do you make that Chord stab Sound??? I can't recreate that clarity and fullness with filter cut offs. Is it just an Ableton preset or a plugin? Thank you for any help or direction :)

[@nathan.storm-music]

Wondering the same thing, is it also the Arp 2600?

[@frederikv.5792]

00:27 "Todd Terje's Inspector Norse...has anyone heard this track?".........DEAD SILENCE.....

[@unknownKnownunknowns]

[@kirillkasyanov]

magic

[@TimoGarcia]

legend!

[@LifeCoachTurtle]

Why didn’t you recreate the whole track only using the ARP like in the original? Surely this could have been used as an educational tool and example for sound design and limitations.

[@skioakenfull]

I originally recreated all the sounds using Ableton Live devices and only replaced the bass sound later using an ARP 2600 to show the synth. I agree that it would have been cool to use the ARP plugin exclusively, but also very CPU heavy to have 4 or 5 instances of the Arturia ARP plugin running concurrently! It also would have doubled the length of the presentation which was live.

[@LifeCoachTurtle]

Ski Oakenfull I get you. Perhaps one day you can get Todd Terje to do a complete deconstruction with you! That would be really great. Keep up the good work 🙏🏻

[@woodyharleyson5352]

For the B section arperggio looks like you're playing G9 -> Cm9 or do I see it wrong?

[@Ceb773]

yessssssssssss!!! I fucking LOVE this album!

[@Analkalle]

Holy s**t amazing job. Stripping down Terjes structures makes it look pretty clean and simple actually - but also kinda takes away the Terje Magic...

[@clarkflavor]

But, that IS the magic! :)

[@Shagysami]

Did somebody get the band he refers to at 9:30 ? I'm not english native and I only understand smth like "wire amo bass" which doesnt exist obviously

[@p0dlyryszard]

"YMO Bass" is the name of the preset in the synth. It's named after Yellow Magic Orchestra, a Japanese electronic music band.

[@Shagysami]

@@p0dlyryszard ty mate!

[@MrSimonEskildsen]

Its definitely the G that’s the tonic. That’s the release of the harmonic tension when the b part kicks in. So the a part chords is b6 to b7 in the scale of g. Its pretty evident in the melody. Really nice to see the breakdown

[@feilik]

Absolutely

[@apollozero]

What is the preset used for the chords? ARP? Melody?

[@sjorskattenbelt4384]

This is great material! I'm still quite curious about the sound design tho

[@charlesdarkon]

😄😄nooooiceeee

[@djbonk77]

Very Disco and synths

[@shookstylez]

Please deconstruct Shook - Milestones!

[@Thoracius]

Wait how did he record those four note chords on a 2600 that is only duophonic?

[@Genital.Wartzenegger]

I don't know how long this took to prep but holy this guy in talented.

[@wall7446]

perfect

[@damo5791]

Was the Ableton project file ever shared of this?

[@henrikandersen4777]

thx for the videos ^^ so i got my Push 2 after long thinking, so i need a Extra controller to expand my control while beatmaking/music making - i have my eye on a few controllers. im currently using ableton 10 live 1. behringer touch x 2. novation launchcontroller xl 3. auturia beatstep pro 4. Icon QCon Pro g2 Do you know thise? if so what would u recomend me buying, if you have another controller in mind ill consider that too im buying used and monney not a massive blocker, i can spend upto 500euro used if needed to.
