00:04.808 --> 00:08.140
- [Tor] Being a production team is
almost like being in a band together.

2
00:08.900 --> 00:11.330
You know, the band can become anything.

3
00:12.320 --> 00:14.979
There are no rules and set things
about what the band can be,

4
00:14.980 --> 00:17.088
but don't break up the band.

5
00:18.200 --> 00:19.449
Hi, I'm Tor Hermansen.

6
00:19.450 --> 00:20.879
- [Mikkel] And I'm Mikkel Eriksen.

7
00:20.880 --> 00:22.219
- And we are Stargate.

8
00:22.220 --> 00:24.621
We are going to look at
"Dancing With a Stranger"

9
00:24.622 --> 00:26.954
by Sam Smith and Normani.

10
00:35.377 --> 00:39.346
- It's that characteristic clap
with tons of reverb

11
00:39.347 --> 00:41.610
going into the chorus.

12
00:46.087 --> 00:50.776
And we added also another live kind of
drum loop in there for some ambience,

13
00:50.777 --> 00:53.082
some extra room on that snare.

14
01:02.340 --> 01:07.132
We played kind of the same chords
as Tor played with the vocoder,

15
01:07.133 --> 01:10.537
and used her lead vocal as a feed.

16
01:18.933 --> 01:23.072
- So this particular sound
is kind of big and roomy.

17
01:23.073 --> 01:24.742
But that means that you can't be too busy.

18
01:24.743 --> 01:27.975
You have to let it breathe
and really slow it down.

19
01:33.500 --> 01:35.289
Really slow.

20
01:41.023 --> 01:44.031
It's just a chord progression,
but we tried to be very conscious

21
01:44.032 --> 01:46.452
of the fact that we want
to put melodies into our chords.

22
01:46.453 --> 01:49.112
It's our job to make
the writer's job easy.

23
01:49.113 --> 01:52.952
The best way to do that is to have
melodies in there and to help them out,

24
01:52.953 --> 01:55.922
give them inspiration,
and give them something to work with.

25
01:57.113 --> 02:00.942
We don't really treat people differently,
and no one artist is more important

26
02:00.943 --> 02:03.367
than the next because you never know.
