Questions
About Mr. Oizo's gear.
What synth did Mr. Oizo use on Flat Beat?
A Korg MS-20. He told Red Bull Music Academy in 2019 that he bought it from his friend Jackson Fourgeaud, and that playing it was when he realised music was not just a hobby. The bassline was a loop he made in about two hours.
What drum machine is on Flat Beat?
The kick comes from a Roland TR-606, which he jokingly called maybe the weakest in the industry. The rest of the setup was an Akai sampler, a cheap PC running a demo of Cakewalk and a budget mixer.
What camera did Quentin Dupieux shoot Rubber on?
A Canon EOS 5D Mark II. In a 2011 interview reported by CineD he talked about shooting a feature on the 5D Mark II with inexpensive Canon lenses, and CineD noted he thinks it is more about the camera than the lenses.
What music did Quentin Dupieux use in Reality?
The film's only score is the opening of Philip Glass's 1971 piece Music with Changing Parts. He told Cinezik in 2015 that he listened to Glass's whole discography looking for the perfect piece and fell in love with this one.
