notes
Moroder scored the film's tense chase sequence with the same sequenced-Moog technique that made I Feel Love a landmark, and the approach won him an Academy Award; his account of building the sequence is well documented in interviews. Keep the pulse mechanically tight and let intensity build only through filter and tempo, never through swing.
