The mau5 recently overhauled his studio in his home town
of Toronto. Since the end of his gruelling North American
tour hes locked himself in and gone on a creative spree.
Ever committed to his fan base, he has invested in a high
tech setup so that he can Live Stream his writing /
recording sessions and give fans a window into that
process."Unlike the ancient, deadmau5 created the track
live. The fans were ringside watching the creative
process. This is a 180 from the bands a decade ago who
claimed Napster was negligent in allowing their unfinished
work to be exposed. Once again, Deadmau5 is using the
tools to his advantage instead of being a Luddite
resistance to change." Bob LefsetzOver the weekend of 17th
/ 18th March during a 22 hour Live Streaming session,
deadmau5 created a new track titled The Veldt inspired by
a short Sci-Fi story written by Ray Bradbury (check back
page for Joels full blog post). He then uploaded it to his
FML Soundcloud page for his fans to enjoy. At this time it
was just an instrumental.Im keen on short stories, since i
lack the time to dip into a massive novel. And well, as
some of you know, other peoples art, poetry, writting or
otherwise can very easily juxtapose to your own craft,
inspirring you to create your own personal extension or
compliment to the work hence the track itselfanyway, after
being inspired, i felt man, id really like to create a
soundtrack to this.. a somewhat melancholic yet uplifting
audio image of kids bestowed with insane technology which
enables them to conjure up any setting or any thing they
desire which in this case, as children sometimes wish
their parents were dead by an unfounded retaliation to
being disciplined. what a great story, i figured. deadmau5
The next day he found that his fans were tweeting him
about a vocal version on Soundcloud. He didnt react to
their tweets initially as he gets so many submissions, but
the volume of messages was such that he gave in and
decided to check out what all the fuss was about. The fan
had taken his comments on board and based his lyrics on
the short story. When deadmau5 heard the fans version he
was totally blown away. This has all been caught on video
during the Live Stream. he righteously did his homework,
and came up with just a few bang on verses that completely
compliment the story and the mood, which is all i ever
want from a song that contained lyrical content. Cant give
him props enough. deadmau5deadmau5 then messaged the
vocalist, Chris James, that he was going to officially
release it with his vocals (again all on his Live Stream).
A short while later he got his manager and Chris on the
phone to work out the details and asked him to add another
verse. Again all captured on the live stream for his fans
to see as it unfolded. The Veldt will be the lead track on
The Veldt EP. The EP will include another new track,
Failbait, featuring hip hop legends Cypress Hill, as well
as a few key remixes of The Veldt. Details T.B.C. shortly.
The Veldt EP is the first in a series of EPs from deadmau5
to be released over the coming months. These will be
compiled into an album later in the year.
