And it's that love that fuels what comes next, as Moroder begins to describe the creative vision that eventually led to I Feel Love with Donna Summer.

Moroder talks about wanting to combine the sounds of the past with an element of the future.

Of course, that futuristic element became the synthesizer, which in the 1970s wasn't a portable keyboard instrument like we might imagine today.

Instead, Moroder used a modular synthesizer, large cabinet-sized systems filled with patch cables connecting different modules to shape the sound.

It was an intimidating piece of equipment and at the time, there were no instruction manuals.

That's why Marauder says, I didn't have any idea what to do.

As he revealed in other interviews, he didn't know the first thing about making a sound with a modular synth, let alone building an entire song.

The instrument he used on I Feel Love actually belonged to the German composer Eberhard Schörner, one of the earliest adopters of the Moog in Europe.

Schörner worked with an engineer named Robbie Vittel, who understood how to operate the synth and helped Moroder navigate it.

Most importantly, Vittel taught him how to sync the synthesizer to a steady pulse using a click track, a consistent metronomic signal that keeps all the elements of a recording locked to the same tempo.

And that's what Daft Punk recreate during this part of the story, that repetitive pulse locking everything into place, acting as the glue between the different synth layers.

Without it, I Feel Love wouldn't exist.

As Marauder told Mix Magazine, "...that was a revelation for us.

The most astounding thing about Robbie Vito, who is the unsung hero of all of this, is that Robert Moog himself, the inventor of the synth, didn't even know about this.

He had no idea that this syncing was even possible."

Looking back it's a beautiful story, one where innovation is guided by human interaction and the exchange of knowledge in person, in the same room.

They were artists working with new tools, pushing them in ways even their creators couldn't predict.

And importantly, technology here is a tool, not a crutch, with the innovation of I Feel Love being a result of human imagination and collaboration, the very things Daft Punk set out to honor with Random Access Memories.

And what makes Marauder's story so powerful and important is that it echoes countless others, including Daft Punk's own.

As Tomah told Marauder directly in a joint interview for Dazed, What's interesting is how we've had a similar path.
