How to make a soft version of Oxygene 2 with minimal equipment : only 2 synths !
All is hand and by ear played .This is a very "light" cover ! I recorded 10 audio tracks with Presonus Studio One, but without automation and I have to add 2 tracks for noises with the Roland SH-101.
I only use Rythmus (by ElektroStudio), Alesis Fusion 8 HD, Roland SH-101, Electro-Harmonix Small Stone (Phaser) and Memory Boy (Tape Delay).
I'm beginner, and not a musician, so ... sorry for bad hand playing and tempo not respected sometimes !

Cheers from Thierry ! next step : Equinoxe & Rendez-vous ..."

Thierry brought us all of the great Alesis Fusion demos, a powerful and underrepresented synth imo. Thank you Thierry for all the demos!  The Fusion would not get much representation if not for you!

A musical analysis of Oxygene 2, 4 & 6 - Jean Michel Jarre - Part 1 : Rythmics, by Thierry Lebon

"An musical analyze of Oxygene, track after track, to make a cover with 95% pure analog and 5% digital.

In this first part, I try to reproduce the rythm played in the original part 2 of JMJ's Oxygene, with the Korg MiniPops 7 ; here, I used a standalone free application called Rythmus by ElektroStudio.

Here, you can adjust the volume of each sounds, the pan, the tune, the volume and the global tempo ; 2 presets are used simultaneously : Beguin and Slow Rock.

It is very near from the original, isn't it ?

The second part will show you how to make all noises with Roland SH-101, Roland Juno-6, Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy and Small Stone Phase Shifter.

See you soon ! cheers from Thierry"

"Hello ! another try with minimal equipment, just an experiment and a work on the sound and effects of that style of music from seventies. I used 3 analog pedals effects from Electro-Harmonix :Memory Boy, Small Stone Phase Shifter, Deluxe Electric Mistress ; 4 audio tracks with SH101 (internal sequencer for bass sequence and noises) and 2 audio tracks with the Alesis Fusion 8 hd with Tape Choir (mellotron choir) and Tape Mix Strings (mellotron-like too) ; all re-recorded in live in Presonus Studio One Artist v1.6.5 with audiobox usb interface."
