Zenith - Flowers Of Intelligence | Recreating The Classics by Starving Insect EP06
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This is a recreation of Flowers of Intelligence by Zenith, released in 1996 on IST records - Sub Label of Industrial Strength Records.
Zenith was an alias of Federico Franchi, an Italian producer mainly known as a pioneer within trance and early hard style.
The Flowers of Intelligence EP is a strange hardcore release. All the tracks on it are long, introverted and hypnotic and totally unlike anything released at the time or after, but considered an immortal classic by many.
Federico sadly passed away in 2018.
This has been by far the most difficult recreation video I've made. I quickly cracked the kick, but I haven't been able to nail the lead sound. I've tried everything and I just can't get it right.
So rather than throwing in the towel, I will still give it my best shot. Let me know what you think in the comments!

As usual a awesome video from swedens finest producer! 😎🤙
oh yea. one of my faves. so much emotion.
these videos are really impressive and are an inspiration to me ^^ please keep this series up - we appreciate all the work you put in this ! :)
We completely agree! Can't wait to see and hear whats next :)
Because of your IG short, I found this masterpiece. The way you breakdown everything was really informative, and it's even cooler to see how this genre was pioneered to begin with! Thanks for sharing, and incredible job on the recreation!! ❤❤❤❤
Well said! We are glad you enjoyed it!
WOW. 😮 Great job! 🎉 Federico would be very proud. ❤ I think he hears your version, rises from the dead and dances for his eternal life. 😊
Lovely words Martin!
Shadow Dancers - Silicium Head. And Alternative Creators- The Beast (Hardhypno Vrs) Are a few of the most dark trance tracks by Zenith. Awesome recreation
Great ! :)
Federico Franchi has been a genius. Check also his "trance" stuff under the "Vana Imago" name (Tesi) / Shadow Dancers - Silicium Head.
Nice!! Love this classic! Great work!
Awesome 👌🏼🥳
Wow. You nailed it again💪
Thank you for accepting my song request 😍
Mandatory rewind on this one ☝️
Only 32 hours of waiting left…
Very good job 🖤🔥
Excellent 👌
Love your videos
❤❤❤
A Tear in Heart next Pleaze ❤
Good job!
Very good job mate! Nailed the gloomy vibe and the kick was spot on. I feel like it might have been worth trying a Korg MS20 for the lead (clone or OG) but you got very close regardless
Do you have MS20? I would be interested in the settings.
Very good 👍
I really love this serie!! Thank you for all the effort you put into these video's of recreating those classics. This is a great track from Zenith of course, and like your other work i have to say this is getting damn close to the original! You're so fckn good with recreating the sounds, it almost sounds similar. Also the way you created the kick in this video is pretty amazing. Respect and thanks again, i'm looking forward for the next episode! Greets from Holland.
Such a unique beauty. Wish there was more of this sound
It really was a unique take on the genre wasnt it?
Damn this was really good, I enjoyed it very much 👌🏻
Impressionnant !!!Quelle oreille et quelle technique!
Love this series.
Great stuff, what a beautiful track to recreate!
Nice one Alex, Thank you! Very good effort recreating this classic. Love to see the proces, and loved the little Streets of Avalon intermezzo ;) Hope you might one day get the chance to try the lead synth on a Korg MS20 and it's fabulous filter distortion
Thanks Stefan! You did an amazing job with the remaster release. And yeah I’m still on the lookout for an MS-20…
@@starvinginsect8442 let's try and fix that :)
Great job on the kick ! I called it the "Wavelan kick" for decades (Wavelan - A1 - It Will Stand - 1994 IST007)
I suspect maybe Zenith sampled it from there, as did many others (r_aW ?).
I hadn’t heard the Wavelan track before, but I listened now and you must be totally right! The kick has been used in lots of tracks and I though Zenith was first, but it’s definitely Wavelan. Thanks, very interesting!
or maybe from this ruclips.net/video/9neHCT16Ll4/видео.htmlsi=aKANL7Q4PAhfhCyg&t=232 ;)
Damn, this goes deep! Ok, Aphex Twin must be the first.
Banging!
I used to be scared to eq the hell out of my sounds… not any more!
This recreation called for extreme measures… I don’t recommend stacking 3-4 EQ:s in general 😅 (Unless you’re making a hardcore kick, then everything goes)
@@starvinginsect8442 MOAR EQ
up next - Nosferatu & Ophidian - Psychiatric Ass
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO !
Pretty Please
Incredible work, how talented you are. Now you must remix it!
I think you're, at the moment, the only one that need floppy disks for "work". 😄
