The Community of Music Makers

Jean-Michel Jarre taped down two buttons on a cheap pub drum machine to make them play at once, ran a home organ through a phaser pedal, and put a tape delay on one speaker only. Hi-fi shops later used the record to show off their speakers. Nobody told them about the Sellotape.

With the 50th anniversary edition and its first Atmos mix out November 20, we broke down how the track was built and the tricks you can borrow today.

Pianist, synth devotee, and mixing and mastering engineer behind Greco Media, John Greco took the long way into audio.

The youngest of six kids raised on records played on the family console stereo, a high schooler who took home a Minimoog nobody had touched from the back of the band room, an electrical engineer who spent 20 years in the motion picture industry, and a volunteer court mediator who learned that the best result is the one that works for everyone, before discovering that daily ear training and weekly mix challenges could turn the sounds in his head into the ones coming out of his speakers. @John Greco is this month’s SoundGym Hero!
