Kygo came out of nowhere, each song wildly popular, and is all my wife listens to

[@kaukapiano]

Aren't you jealous

[@Kalganick]

[@user-ly3fs9jl2p]

shes cheating

[@itstrenttv]

I f***** love this guy, he's got good vibes

[@brettgoodrich]

Thank you, Alex Dome ♥

[@twatmunro]

I see what you did there.

[@metromikee]

Kygo is the reason I started mixing music, I took his course in STUDIO and really learned a bit of his style. so inspiring, thanks for sharing this video

[@ALEmix-zw2sc]

You making music or mixing?

[@metromikee]

@@ALEmix-zw2sc I believe a bit of both, but producing would be the most accurate term for what I’m doing.

[@LLAWREN]

he did the same with the pedal notes in "For Life". even sounds like the same note :O

[@Kaioshynn]

Kygo is basically the tropical house version of Avicii - which of course makes sense if you know that Kygo's biggest inspiration was Tim; it shows. :) I still remember finding his I see fire remix (Ed Sheeran) and loving it instantly. When he made it big, I was like "YAAAASSS"

[@Mickeysternum245]

Avicii is another level up when it comes to chords/melodies imo. I feel like the chords in this example without the specific sounds would be hard to remember, but aviciis chords are recognisable with any sound

[@iancope6588]

Kygo brings me ~back~ and to look in depth at firestone is a treat, thank you as always Alex !!

[@northernbigguns]

Hey please do a illenium song breakdown! Free fall or feel good are some of my favs. They sound so whole and full of energy yet they start so calm. Please do one!

[@abhishekc1458]

Nice

[@waliddeui6725]

6:22 oow my god Alex oow my god

[@ExtendedTrap]

Feels so 2010... 🤣

[@orgbariki]

from Tanzania

[@ApexArtistX]

Can you recreate the Chamber reverb of Waves CLA Vocals plugins.. its so lush and beautiful

[@shiinemusic]

that Kygo is a good KEY player everyone knows it (there are a lot of Keygo's doing that), but what every producer can really learn from Kygo is having a bit of luck and being able to layer ACAPELLAS like Tina Turner etc. This is what made AVICII and other DJ-MAG's the same thing... they use famous artists voices on their tracks...

[@francesco.17]

Could you make a video of Stole the show please?

[@joseduarte8024]

Would love to see a video like this but analyzing Oliver Heldens/HI-LO

[@djjay0567]

At the end of the 8 bar intro it doesn't repeat the de de do it is an e played by itself. 1:52

[@levin712]

Can you do same thing on 'Faded' ❤❤

[@alphapolarfrequency2787]

Make tutorial Like Ramases B i like His LIQUID DRUM STYLE

[@ApexArtistX]

What reverb is that long sustain paise

[@es0terra]

Nice! Alex, you wearing eye shadow, or you just not getting enough sleep? Maybe the dark room 🤷‍♂️

[@AlexRome]

Dark room and allergies 🤧

[@nthwow]

Do you have any plans to record why this song is genius from SHM?

[@scottbaron]

6:22😀

[@awakemusic3031]

What is pedal tone? Can some one explain

[@animal40]

same, no idea

[@animal40]

so I asked chatGPT: Pedal tones, also known as drone tones or pedal points, are sustained or repeated notes, typically in the bass range, that serve as a foundation or anchor for the harmonic structure of a piece of music. In the context of electronic dance music, like Kygo's tracks, pedal tones are often used to create a sense of continuity and stability amidst changing harmonies and melodies. They can provide a consistent rhythmic and harmonic reference point, allowing other musical elements to evolve and interact around them. Kygo frequently employs pedal tones, often using deep, pulsating basslines that anchor his melodic and rhythmic elements, contributing to the distinctive sound of his tracks.

[@ngulidabi2205]

First one ❤

[@PhO3NiX96]

Have you got your tickets guys? Cause I do :P

[@remyzandbergen4376]

Title must be what Ai can learn from kygo.. in a few months suno can produce whole edm tracks in minutes. Yes, im depressed about it.

[@boozalm3715]

Did he say the syphilis of chord progressions?

[@darbomusic]

Nice
