What are the differences between a cover, remix, remake and tribute?

New Directions in music, dynamically developing in recent times, seemingly leaving no room for old hits that are quickly forgotten. Music, like fashion, has an infinite number of currents, which in one way or another influence the formation of new ones styles.

Nevertheless, many musicians, in the absence of their own original material, often resort to the innovation by creating covers, remakes, remixes of famous songs and participating in tribute acts. In order to understand the differences between these terms in music and copyright, it is necessary to turn to theory.

So, a cover is a recorded soundtrack to an existing track and merely imitates the original. Cover - is, figuratively, "reworking" a composition and performing it, perhaps in your own style, but by ear, without using of the original sound. Don't underestimate them: sometimes cover versions of tracks overshadow the originals to the point where no one can remember who actually wrote the song.

Remix - is a more complex thing. It is a reworking of the original to create a different sound. A remix can be commissioned by the author or by the author himself, but it is important to note here that it is created using original audio trackwhich is being modified by professionals.

Remake A remake is somewhat related to a remix, but it is the creator of the original composition who is the author from a legal point of view. A remake is simply new version of a previously released song.

Tribute The aim of popular tribute bands and musicians is to admire or honour their favourite idols. The purpose of popular tribute bands and musicians is to express admiration, honour or pay tribute to their favourite idols. Tribute performances are more like covers, as they are renditions of already existing songs, but the authors of tribute concerts try to maximise the number of songs they perform. similar to the original to perform famous compositions, imitating their musical idols.

Andre Antunes: a metal man for all occasions

Portuguese guitarist André Antunes has created his own channel in 2011. His first video did not become so popular. In it, young André performs a guitar solo of one of his favourite songs. "Hotel California" of the Eagles.

Thereafter, André focused on creating original arrangements in the style of heavy metalby mixing guitar parts with completely different videofrom internet memes to news reports.

Unexpected news

In early 2022, Andre created a heavy metal arrangement and a skilfully put it on a piece of Mexican news. In it, the anchor Leonardo Schwebel from Guadalajara is very expressive about wearing masks and not spreading COVID-19.

The guitar composition created by Antunesh is largely pure improvisation and is done in the best traditions of the heavy metal. It also features some very beautiful and complex guitar work solo. A must-see!

A brand new version of Vitas

What else can Andre, a virtuoso guitarist from Portugal, enjoy? One of his most popular YouTube videos is dedicated to the Internet-famous hit by a Russian singer Vitas' "The Seventh Element.".

For the instrumental cover of this song, Andre chose a completely different style from Vitas' style arrangement. It turned out to be a very relaxing composition in the best traditions of chill-out and smooth jazz. As the musician himself admits, with this video he wanted to show how much the universal could be Vitas, and he did it perfectly!

The Hindus are shocked!

One of the most interesting The video on Andre Antunesz's channel is called "If System of a Down were from India". In it, the guitarist rethinks the work of the famous Armenian-American alternative band metal.

Internet memes in a new guise

On YouTube The Portuguese genius's channel also features the musical accompaniment of internet memes that have become hits in the Networks.

For example, after an incident at the Academy Awards between actor Will Smith and a comedian Chris RockAndré has released his version of this "musical". It's worth noting that the music chosen is very suitable!

The other internet memewhich was musically interpreted by a Portuguese guitarist-blogger, dates back to 1999. It's about viral videotaken from home video footage of a little boy rambling through dream sentences that end in complete incoherence.

The video went viral in 2011, later becoming a meme classic. Andre, on the other hand, prepared a colourful heavy metal remix on the video "Have you ever had a dream like this?"
