Hi ! I'm a french Queen fan from many years. I'm also a sound engineer and producer. Almost 11 years ago, I made a Queen mix named "The Freddie Mercury Spirit". After visiting the "Studio Experience @ Montreux" a few months ago, I decided to make a new Queen mix around the Track13 from Made In Heaven. It's my tribute to Queen and more especially to Freddie. The music is entirely performed by Queen and Freddie Musicians (solo tracks). The next step would be to make a video for this mix. Any ideas ? I hope you will enjoy. It's better with good speakers or headphones ;) https://soundcloud.com/sebastienbede/open-your-eyes-look-touch-and-feel |

wow, Sébastien ! this is a fantastic work and truly a labor of love! Listening with my headphones on (right now running at 15m:00s just when the Love Of My Life bit starts) and must say that I am very, very impressed ! a very enjoyable and highly recommendable experience for all the QZ folks! wow ... !!! CONGRATS ! |

I've played it three times now and keeps getting better after every new listening ! I always enjoyed Track 13, but this makes me wonder wether it would've worked better in case it had been given the kind of treatment you've approached, most specially concerning the subtle bits you put here and there, rather than the bigger song "portions" you've introduced. Anyway, and once again, congratulations; you've done a terrific job ! |

C_Matt 07.06.2014 08:59 |
I watched the whole video, the 45 mins in a row, and listened the mix for the first time, and I really love it! It's absolutely spectacular. The transitions between songs are really well done, how they fit one with each other! Really like how the mix gains strength and then comes back to a quieter sound. I always wondered how the "almost same tempo and style" Queen songs would have been together, and you made it at 21:40 lol! This kind of songs are really Queen, and great to put them all in a CD. Love the louder points! When IaHL, IWBtLY, 'Party' and TWMGO/WIAWI/AG'sP starts. The video is a great companion for the whole mix, fits really great! I wonder how it would have been if you had put some scenes in color, mainly at those points that I mentioned above, the louder parts, full of life! I would love to watch these complete again in DTS... It is a very independent cinema festival kind of movie. Can you imagine this as a movie in a theater? The sound going and coming in front and behind you... I would love to hear this one in 5.1, at least at home. Save the multitracks of this beautiful creation! Love the ending of the mix. |

Lord Fickle 26.07.2014 06:44 |
I've just found time to listen to this in it's entirety for the first time, and I have to say, I'm stunned! This was a totally and uniquely immersive experience, and I found myself submerged one minute and lifted the next. The transitions are exceptionally well crafted, and I can imagine the time, effort and dedication put into this. My guess is some parts must have caused a fair degree of frustration too! One standout moment for me was the 'two, three...' transition into Winter's Tale, and I love the whole IWBTLY thing. The only part that was a slight letdown for me, is the part with the AGP fade out, then a gap before the final ending. I'm not sure if you were trying to create a 'false' ending, but after over 40 minutes of full continuity, it seems a little odd to have a 'break' right near the end. That said, as a whole, this is an outstanding piece of work. Congratulations - you should feel very proud. :) |
Vali 27.07.2014 04:35 |
had the opportunity at last to watch the video yesterday at home, in its full hd glory. And as Lord Fickle said above, yes, it was an uniquely immersive experience. To me, and together with Matt's latest hd revisions, these are the main contenders to win the "fan mix effort of the last 3 decades" award. I'm serious Seb, listening to the track was incredible; but watching the video at home, with the lights out, sunset through the windows .... wow, pure magic ! thanks again, so much, for such precious gift ! |
leto 27.07.2014 06:33 |
Lord Fickle, I thank you very much for your goog review. I think I'm even agree with AGP fade out. I did my best leaving nothing to chance but I'm sure some parts could be better. I will work when it will be possible for me a 5.1 mix and I'm sure to upgrade slightly my orignal mix. :) Vali, I'm so happy & proud to give you this Queen gift. I have to say that I have chills when I read those beautifuls comments here, on Youtube & everywhere. |
Lord Fickle 27.07.2014 17:40 |
I've listened to this again, along with the video today, and the 'gap' after AGP makes more sense with the visual, and I think I see why you did it, if indeed it was a conscious decision. It's quite a powerful moment, just the three of them left in the studio, and in that context, perhaps a short silence isn't out of place. Maybe it's just worth reviewing and experimenting with, though? Also, is there any chance of a decent quality download for the video? I snatched it off YouTube but the quality doesn't seem to be the best on a large screen TV. Again, well done for this - accolades on here and on YT are well deserved. :) |

I absolutely loved this. What a sensational labour of love. Hands down, this is one of the most interesting and rewarding pieces of Queen music to emerge in ages. It was a simple yet profound reminder as to why I have loved this music so much for so many years. |
Rien 01.08.2014 09:25 |
Totally agree with the real Wizard. This is a breathtaking, stunning, amazing piece of art. the combination of the mix and the video images touches my heart. A big - big - big compliment for putting this together. Brian MUST see this. And indeed, listening and discovering all those bits in the mix brings back so many feelings of LISTENING to Queen music, like it sums up MY life. I want to replay and re-listen to every bit of Queen music NOW! Continuously. Thank you again. |

Listening to this again. I cannot put to words how incredible this is, and how much it joyfully reminds me why this music has been the soundtrack of my life for 20 years. I recognize where every single little piece of this comes from - everything from the subtle bits of Some Day One Day to Was It All Worth It, I hear it. This is truly remarkable work. Has this been sent to Brian yet? |

Good luck ! I can't even imagine how full Brian's inbox is, so it's probably just a matter of being lucky with your timing. The switch between IWBTLY versions @ 28:20 is glorious. The only ones I can't figure out are the vocals at 16:30 and 17:41 - where are they from? The former seems to be from the Barcelona album .. ? |

Hi ! I just read your messages of the past months. At 17.41, we have an alternative mix of Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow (from the FM Boxset). 23.47 : Man made Paradise ;) Well, indeed, Brian already listened a part fo my work in january 2015, his answer : "Ah thanks Sebastien. Forgive me if I don’t have time to get deeply into it, but I can see you’ve put a lot of love and care into this - and your skills are undeniable. Thanks for sharing. All the best Bri" You have to know that I gave a CD to Peter Freestone, Jim Beach and Justin Shirley Smith, directly in their hands, at FM Birthday Party, September 2015. No news at this point... If you want a lossless Wav File, please, send me an email at lacavesonore@gmail.com And thank you so much to appreciate my work, it's really for you, guys :) Love ! :) Sebastien Bede |
