| JMJ is the man who inspired me and thousands of synthesized electronic music lovers around the world to be creative, adventurous, and always a leader. Listening to Oxygene back then was like floating in space without moving a muscle or like being under a waterfall without getting wet. JMJ's music to me is magical, fluid and has endless continuity.
I wanted to preserve the feeling and the emotions I got when listening to the original. Moreover, I had to build up a pumping tribal house beat around the core of the track and give it DJ friendly intro/outro parts. The goal was to establish the melody along with all the the drum parts and building them leading to the main hook, then drifting in and out like butter without loosing the essence or fluidity of the original. I had a lot of fun playing all the main parts and adding some variations to the melody. The experience made me truly appreciate the way JMJ writes and composes his music. |
