Hey folks!
I'd like to produce stuff like Other Echoes (of course not exactly the same but i like the direction it goes).
My problem is that it is far from every other track i worked on so i dont know where to begin, how to arrange, mix. Its so many well composed elements in such tracks that work together like magic.
My question: Do you know any marterial (production videos, articles, interviews etc.) that provide an introduction to this style of music (maybe even by other echoes himself) or do you have some tips for me?

Take an mp3 of the track (even a youtube rip as quality isn't important) and a piece of paper. Load the track into your DAW and write down an explanation of each section as best you can, include everything you can (not just the what the instruments are but what they are doing and how). If it helps slow the track down until you can pinpoint everything going on. Once you have that you should have guidelines on the arrangement and how the elements work together, then go and make a track based on them
