Hello imgur! When I first heard Bon Iver's song "715 - CR∑∑KS", I was greatly reminded of Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek". The original song is just an auto-tuned vocal that follows a very beautiful chord progression and no other elements are present...it was practically asking to be remixed!
Here is my ambient take on it, I tried to keep it fairly minimal and stay fairly true to the original as well. Let me know what you think!

(Fun fact, all of the atmospheric business in the background is actually the main vocal just processed a bunch, in a couple different layers)
For those interested, here is the original:

Fourge
Thanks, appreciate that!

Yes. A solo vocal track is meant for remixing. Love Bon iver, hate anything auto tuned, try working with better source material
Fourge
I like the song and you don't, not sure why you're telling me to work with better material.
KageroShijima
Cause auto tune sucks. And he has a good voice
Fourge
His manager created a physical instrument for it, I don't like autotune either but I'm seeing beautiful chords and a meaningful song.
Fourge
They even added distortion and glitches to it in order to make it sound more human, in a weird mechanical way. Idk, I enjoy it
KageroShijima
+1 for good banter, keep it up, everyone's got different tastes, I'm just some shit on imgur!
KageroShijima
And I responded because you put "your" music on a mass social media site and asked for an opinion. Don't do that if you don't want honesty
Fourge
Theres a difference between giving an opinion and telling someone to change what they are doing after its already been done.
KageroShijima
You are taking a strangers suggestion to harshly. Don't change just try it with raw vocals, or dont. I don't care
KageroShijima
+1 for posting your stuff though, just cause I didn't love it , does not mean I won't like it later, or another song
Fourge
M8 those don't exist
