These deconstructions are one of the best things that come out of Point Blank Music School
Instead of moaning about some random sound issues on the stage, people should focus on recognizing how little it takes to make a song shift from good to great. It's amazing to see how simple and repetitive the arrangement is on this song, while the weird but extremely interesting chord progression and the great vocal performances on top make it shine. Obviously, the groove is simple yet effective too. It just goes to show: Focus on the important bits of your songwriting and bloody practice your performance to become a master. Thanks, Ski, for another inspiring deconstruction!
weird chord progression? lol wtf it's a i v iv
@@felixucoff lel
@@felixucoff Maybe he was referring to the out of tune instrument
Shitty opinion
@@felixucoff this is why we are more divided than ever. For every comment about the video, there’s always one reply trying to make the commenter sound stupid. Sad

Thank u so much! 😆
It was recorded at studio 13 (damon's studio) Kong studios is a fictional studio in the universe of the virtual band.
kong studios..
This song really is a masterpiece, amazing to see the deconstruction
This is not easy to perform on the fly.....brilliant deconstruction!
Crazy to hear how complex the track sounds, yet so simple when you actually see process. BRILLIANT
only 10 mins in and I cannot thank you enough for this breakdown I love how you go into the music theory as well and keep it simple for a beginner like me, this is so awesome !
That drum beat and guitar really set it off!! Great job to you and all behind the scenes!
I was waiting for that joint for long time ! thank you guyz Greets from France
This is fantastic! Great work and thanks for sharing!
Absolutely amazingly talented guy.. Ski thank you Sir!!
Always a treat! Thanks Ski and Point Blank
Brilliant!! Really good to watch the musical theory as well..
takes some knowledge to be able to do this, cant wait to start the music production and sound engineering degree at point blank next year just happy to have the youtube channel for now haha
Amazing job Ski, you rock man!
Brilliant! And done live. Amazing advert for your school. If I was young I’d be signing up
You missed the part that comes in under the vocals in the first verse, the quiet detuned sounding plucky synth, haha but thats super picky, this is insane, so cool
Thought that too. I think its a guitar. But really love this element. Even if its in the background it ads Something
Awesome breakdown thanks.

Yeah I've been waiting for something like this cool man. Now would you pls do a Brand New Heavies deconstruction or Morsheeba(hope I spelled it right)) thanks
Morcheeba
Ski, always on point! Nice one.
You are one of a kind! Great stuff and thx for sharing your knowledge with us!

2:00 Loving this 180° phase inversion between L and R hahaha
oh, so that's what's up. Even starting at 1:00. It was messing with my head
Yeah, it seems there's some phasing issues going on (I think possibly between the dry signal and the reverberated mic signal)
We had some limitations at the venue and could only get the master output and not split mic/laptop. The phasing is from the stage monitors playing back the laptop audio, interfering with the microphone.
Yes, like I wrote I suspected some kind of issue like this. Great content though!
Wow this is incredible love it !!! It’s incredible
Fantástico Ski!! (always)
Terrific deconstruction as always!! Thanks Ski!
genius! like for other deconstructions! tks
Awesome! Thank you! Great guy!
This really was a top notch deconstruction by Ski who's all-round talent is on the level... Enjoyed watching and found great inspiration in how this was made. Thanks man.
love this!!!
Amazing!!! 👏👏👏
wow that was impressive. nailed it.
Thank you
Beautiful
Very cool!
This was great!!
Simply brilliant
Love you Ski!
This is mental! What a master.
Is this part of a music convention or is it a demo during a class? Would really like to see something like this or watch something that Point Blank are hosting in the future!
Hi Saffron. This was at Sonar +D in Barcelona, so a convention of sorts. Ski does these kinds of deconstructions regularly though and there's quite a few on our channel. Try the recent ones on tracks by Massive Attack, 808 State and Calvin Harris for more of this kind of thing.
Really nice vids. Learn a lot from them. I get a little bit lost with Ableton and the arrangement view he always uses. A bit difficult to guess in what part of the song things go. It'll be easier for non-Ableton users if he so kind could use the other window where one could have a visual contest of what he is doing. But apart from that all good!!
Love these deconstructions. Any idea what that small keyboard is?
Cool Bro!
Ski always makes this look soo easy! Lol. Well done.
amazing deconstruction and very informative video ! There is one cool sound missing - at 2:04 - there is a short "beep" sound which sounds really amazing anyone has an idea if it was sampled or synthesizedf ?
Since so many years
awesome
I've just realised that the crash that he played at 6:45
is the same as the crash in "Clint Eastwood"
an alternate band that used the same set of drums in their 2 biggest songs. That's something you just don't see nowadays.
what machine is he using for the clicky sounds? I WANT ONE also IT IS SO COOL SEEING ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS.. EVER BEING BROKEN DOWN!!
im curious, is there a reason why the left channel is inverted during the original song playback? it was very annoying, made me want to turn my head...
anyway, this was a great deconstruction as always, thanks.
clever stuff
Most popular music has got a key signature. Great quote!
Paul Hutchinson thanks 🍺
There's one sound missing, it's a very subtle melodic sound in the bridge, before the second chorus.
Like that beeping sound?
Time stamp for High hat pattern: 7:27
Clapping sound: 8:28
This was incredibly cool, even though I understood a mere fraction of it.
Love it! 💋❤️❤️❤️
I would be the one guy when he goes "give it up for feel good inc" everyone claps politely and I go.. WOOO!!
This guy has a great attitude. Right Man on the right spot. Keep it UP!
That Eb Chord is definitely minor.
have you considered deconstructing something from tondos expanding head band?
Um as far as music theory goes, the reason you can play a E major chord over an E minor bass riff, I think works because it's because it's blues, not because it was out of tune.
Great vid, but why is the computer audio quality so bad
13 years!!!
15 years!!!
18 years!!!@@a-1151
Awesome Video and good rebuild of the Original but for me the analysis of the song is missing.. why they did this and that and the music theory behind that
Wow. What a lesson.
Watch and learn kids, watch n learn.
Man I wish I could wrap my head around the music theory part of this more. Did he recognize the scale by ear or construct the notes and then identify the scale?
He had the score already laid out for him and so he knew. Could have possibly known it by ear or constructed the scale from the notes he played either way though, as it doesn't really matter :)
please change the
second note of the first arpeggio... :)
16:26 it was actually Simon tong
DId he really use the growls as "beeps" on the word "ass"?
I dont get it: why is he using the controller to play the instruments? Why doesn't he use the keyboard MIDI?
Please do Africa by Toto
How did he get those sounds?
Ski's outdone himself on this one
i can do it too in a couple of months...
i wonder why nobody noticed, that the polarity of the music is off. flip the phase of one channel, please. voice is ok though.
We had some limitations at the venue and could only get the master output rather than separate mic/laptop feeds. The phasing is from the stage monitors playing back the laptop audio, interfering with the microphone.
conveniently leaving out the detuned hula guitar sample lol
1:38 i need that synth please
17:14 Im still watching, but I believe a slide was missed there.
28:00
no load on the system but 70°C hot. oh apple :3
haha - and I had a fan cooler sitting underneath! However, I was running screen capture software which puts a strain on the system.
deconstruct Sandstorm, pleaaaaase
There is one on CZcams By DR mix that is not bad just put it in search
Did he just get the drum samples from the original song? Because they sound exactly the same...
Never mind, I just noticed he used the shit quality stems from the game Rock Band 4.
I wish I could get a scholarship to Point Blanck Music School. If not for me at least for my son.
30:18
24:48
I did my own deconstruction of the song called blood sweat and tears by BTS. I might upload a video about it
I didn't do the audio things like this but I did a whole lot of theories
The tree's are listening..🤔
What's up with the audio at 1:00? There's some weird sort of phasing thing going on that confuses my ears.
I really hope that nobody was on lsd this day
Its sad that u need needs to sound engineer one day technology will phase out these ppl from the creative process
The best. Contrats.
you should try peggy Gou - it makes you forget
the computer audio is out of phase ;-)
arghhh hate to say this but the "guitar" arpeggio on the first chord is slightly off. i think you got one note wrong and takes me out of the listening experience. other than that impressive decosntruction well done.
Is it just me or does the bass sound kinda different? like more stringy...idk tbh
it does a bit but the mann played it in with Ableton, he did a fantastic job considering no live instruments were used, you get that yeah?!
@@TheDavidKettle he's using kontakt and sylenth1, etc. he could have done WAY better, at first I thought he was going to be using ableton built-in devices, specially since you have so much control for humanizing with kontakt libraries.
Great job! (But sadly the bass didn't sound nearly as sexy)
MomoTheBellyDancer do you know what bass was used in the recording
@@a-1151 it still sounds different
@@crimsonlycaondc143c6 he actually got it bang on correct. Maybe it wasn’t bassy enough
i hate the first chord on the arpeggiated guitar, i hadn't noticed it until now, now everytime i listen to the real song i can't stop hearing how wrong it is.
should be called 'track REconstruction'
Did the not use The Message for the beat... hence the line... and all they want to hear is the message beat...
