Jean-Michel Jarre (2021)

Jean-Michel Jarre is a French composer, producer and performer and a pioneer in the electronic music genre. His first mainstream success came with the release of his 1976 album Oxygène, followed by   Équinoxe in 1978. Jarre has played in front of some of the largest crowds ever assembled, including a concert in front of 3.5 million Russians in celebration of the 850th birthday of Moscow.  More recently the Frenchman has ventured into the realm of VR as he held a virtual New Year's Eve concert from a virtual Notre Dame. The performance was captured as the album 'Welcome To The Other side. We spoke with Jean-Marie about the album, three very influential people in his life, innovations in music technology, binaural recording, respecting creativity and intellectual property,  lessons from his mother, and a lot more! Interview by: Martin KuiperSupport the showThank you for listening!
