Rendez-vous 2 (excerpt) [Cover Jean-Michel Jarre]

For the third chapter of my "Journal Sonore", I chose to revisit a childhood memory that left a deep mark on me. I recorded a cover of "Rendez-vous 2" by Jean-Michel Jarre. This piece has been with me since I was 13, the age at which I bought the vinyl of the Lyon/Houston concert from 1986, released in 1987. At that time, I was already passionate about electronic music. Jarre was never one of my favorite artists in the strict sense, but I’ve always had great respect for what he brought to the genre. During that concert, one moment in particular completely captivated me: the laser harp performance. That futuristic, almost unreal image, combined with a dark and haunting melody, left an indelible impression on me. It’s that mysterious and deep atmosphere that I wanted to capture in my own version. I want to make it clear that I do not own the rights to this piece and I am not seeking to profit from it in any way. This is simply a fragment of my musical past, a formative memory that I want to share with you, and a sincere tribute to Jean-Michel Jarre and the magic he infused into electronic music. Composed by Jean-Michel Jarre Sounds by Cedric Wattergniaux / Kilmarth
