London 1978 (Live)

about

(including end theme: Sunrise)

The London set was our time to explore the growing world of what would eventually be EDM (Electronic Dance Music) as pioneered by Jean-Michel Jarre. In order to sync all the different sequencers live we relied on a central control voltage source, as this was well before the days of computers and even MIDI. This was also our first experience in what would later become the drum machine. The Roland CompuRhythm CR-78 came before the famed 808 and Linn drum machines and consisted mostly of presets and triggered fills. Although it was rather primitive by today’s standards, it has a wonderful nostalgic sound now. Note, the other “kick drum” sounds you hear throughout are played on the Mini Moog (filtered noise is a wonderful thing!).

Although we didn’t actually play all night, the gig didn’t begin until after midnight. Thus the end theme for this set is Sunrise.
