I ran across a video of the amazing Jean Michel Jarre, demonstrating several of the instruments he used in his album Oxygene (1977). I am absolutely fascinated by synthesizers (especially analog).
Playing musical instruments is a huge part of my life, and has been since about 6th grade. With my other instruments (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, electric bass, trombone, acoustic drums), expression and emotion are expressed with physical movements of something (vibrating strings, drum heads, buzzing lips). With an analog synthesizer, this expression is portrayed through the turning of knobs and the sliding of faders, which essentially controls voltage flow. Jean Michel Jarre does a great job of sharing his emotion with the listener.
The video can be found here: http://www.gearwire.com/ems-synthi.html
Is there any way to make a loop using soley analog equipment?
I'd like to learn more about the process of making early electronic dance music.
