Jean-Michel Jarre

Good morning.

It’s Friday so we’re listening to something more upbeat. Today we’re listening to Jean-Michel Jarre, a French electronic musician from Lyon. Born in 1948, Jarre started experimenting with sound in the ‘60s, using a tape machine to process guitar sounds.

In the ‘70s he embraced synthesizers and, like Giorgio Moroder and Wendy Carlos, discovered paradigms and patterns that would typify synthesizer music for decades to come. We’re playing two of his early, influential records: Oxygène from 1976 and Equinoxe from 1978.

One of the first electronic musicians I ever listened to. Around 1980, I was hooked on these two albums especially, and listened to both hundreds of times. "Concerts in China" was also a landmark, moving him towards the 'grand performance' mode that he'd become famous for.
