What is a genre and what elements decide a genre? Is it possible to change the characteristics of one genre and thereby evolve a track into a new one? How much of a genre lies in the production and how much lies in the composition? These are some questions that I have explored and investigated in my thesis. I have been particularly interested in whether, and if so how, I could make tracks in their original genres into my own through remixes. Based on previous research on music psychology and theory of genres I develop a framework to position my work. The production process has been based on a directionless instinct to truly unveil a personal sound. By creating three different remixes from three different tracks I manage to change some of the key concepts and evolve the original tracks to something different, eventually changing the genre itself. Through this investigation of transforming these three tracks from their original genre into another one that is more in line with my musical identity, I explore the limitation of the concept “genre”. / <p>Till dokumentationen hör även följande inspelningar:</p><p>Aloft Quartet - False Fetch.mp3 <em>- Originallåt</em></p><p>False Fetch (Søfelde Remix).wav <em>- Min remix</em></p><p>Boys and Ivy - Boys We Chased.mp3 <em>- Originallåt</em></p><p>Boys We Chased (Søfelde Remix).wav <em>- Min remix </em></p><p>Pastlife - This is Her.mp3 <em>- Originallåt</em></p><p>This is her (Søfelde Remix).wav <em>- Min remix</em></p>
