Hi,

I think the Place de la Concorde version of Equinoxe 7 is really cool, and since I just made a cover of the original version, it would be easy to do this Concord version.
But that was not so easy again because of the drums!

I can't find ANY pattern in it so far. Do you guys have any idea of how he played it?

I guess it is ok to say, that the concert was mostly, if not totally on tape, so the drums are made in the studio.

The precision makes it unlikely to be played live on the tape
Since there are no repeating pattern, he has not just pressed "play" on the Korg Mini pops, like the original drums.

Any idea how the man did that in 1979 ??
...maybe changing the pins randomly on the Matrisesequencer live while recording? (this could of cause also have been done live in the concert)


A short test done by writing the bass drum down on a piece of paper and putting them into the score:

Jarre used CR-78 on Equinoxe 7 Concorde. I'm wondering if we can see it on some studio pictures.
