Yesterday I wrote about Geotic's Mend. That same afternoon, Teen Daze had posted his Reinterprets Selections From "Mend" By Geotic to his Tumblr. Cool coincidence.
Teen Daze's version transforms Geotic's classical, organic, serene, and complacent style into something with a steady beat typical of chillwave. He remixes in two main ways: he plays with sequencing by taking different parts of the original songs and screwing with their order and fiddles with the tracks' speeds to produce a much more upbeat feel. He also adds a creative drum track and a little organ, but other than that there aren't many different sounds separating Geotic's version from Teen Daze's. Because he doesn't really change the instrumentation, Daze manages to maintain a beautiful backdrop, without detracting from its serene feeling.
Daze really juggles only a handful of the original tracks; it's a quick four-song release. You can download Teen Daze's remixes for free here. Even the album artwork is a new take on Geotic's artwork. I also liked how all the song titles are in French, although I have no idea why. I give it a 3.7/5.
Best, Jonathan
