Making of “Oxygene pt. 4“

AUTO-GENERATED SUBTITLES AVAILABLE: - First turn on captions by pressing the “CC“ button - Then press the gear symbol to the right, press “subtitles/cc“ and choose “auto-translate“ instead of “English“. Then you can select your language from the list, and YouTube will translate the subtitles automatically. In this workshop episode I’m breaking down how I made my cover version of Jean Michel Jarre’s “Oxygene pt. 4“, which is out now on my “Synthesizer Legends - Volume 1“ album: I built the arrangement for my cover version based on a short edit of the Hipnosis “Oxygene“ cover, which was used as theme for a Finnish television music show in the early 80’s called “Hittimittari“.
