DNA III to DNA V Inspiration by Jean Michel Jarre

Posted by maxxpump - April 10th, 2017


So for DNA three through to fives creation I've been using inspiration from the one and only Jean Michel Jarre. DNA IV I've published tonight on Newgrounds, which uses some arpeggios I've learned from listening to the master of synthesis, but at the same time I've pushed the envelope, and created something dynamic and truly stunning. It's using 1/128th position quantize at 126 BPM, which I've been playing around with most of the day while learning how Roland D-beam affects MIDI information. This has made for purely synthesizer based sounds which would be physically impossible to play. But I did slow down the count for some parts and played in on keyboard and sped up afterwards. I'm going to France in July this year to see Jean Michel Jarre, which I can't wait to see.

I have a chance at a work related VIP ticket and If I get it (knowing my luck I won't), I can meet the legend before the concert. which would be a honor, but i'm not getting my hopes up quite yet.
