Peter Su - Fade Into Darkness (Avicii Cover)

"Fade Into Darkness" is one of my favorite Avicii songs, and probably EDM song for that matter. In this acoustic vocal cover, I tried my best to capture the essence of how the song makes me feel, using mostly acoustic instruments and multi-tracking it.

I remember first hearing this song last year - that little piano riff was so uplifting and energizing it stuck with me until I finally picked up my guitar to learn it. It soon snowballed into my first full-length multi-track video and dance cover. I did more takes than I care to admit, playing all the instruments you see here and have a new-found appreciation for DJs and producers like Avicii that can create aural spaces, and ebb and flow the energy of the music so well.

If you haven't heard it yet, check out the original - it's sick and impossible not to dance to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9BrzOcRsjQ

what song is the non avicci version

[petersumusic]

Not sure what vsn you're talking about but Avicii sampled the riff from "Perpetuum Mobile" by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Leona Lewis jacked his sample and released a song too that I won't mention here.

This is sweet. Tell us more about the tech behind it! Is it a Final Cut job?

[petersumusic]

Thanks David. Final Cut Pro X for the video. Garageband for the audio. I basically recorded each part with both garageband and fcp running. I mixed the audio in garageband, then moved the single audio flle over to fcp. Synced the different video tracks to the audio.
