Haywyre, aka Martin Voigt, released his first of many performance videos today for his remix of “Smooth Criminal.” He takes on the classic Michael Jackson vocals and revamps it with keyboard like only he can. The video starts calmly and then shoots you out of a cannon into a sea of synth. He climbs around on that instrument like a kid on a jungle gym, but the final product is clean, polished, and exciting. The accompaning visual experience is the cherry on the cake. Check out his comments and the video below.
“This video marks one of many more performance videos that I will be uploading in the future. The performance aspect to my tracks has always been absolutely huge; this video explores this concept to its fullest.
Also, re-interpreting a great musicians track can be controversial. Most of the time a balance between material from the original track and new material is expected. My remixes have always contained way more new material than content from the original track; hence I felt it wasn’t appropriate to call this work a remix.
Additionally, I will not be posting this track to my Soundcloud because I think its meant to be an audio-visual experience. Hope you all dig it, more coming soon!”
