Running the tape loop around a mic stand, superb. I've loved his music since I was teenager. Showing us how he creates his sound is such a privilege. Its magical.
The tape machine trick was cool af. Working with the hardware back then must've been work. Reminded me of Pink Floyd explaining how they got their "Money" sound in the beginning.
I love the man. He’s making his best music in his 70s. Amazing. I think he was around 27 when he made Oxygene (my favourite album of all time), and he is now capable of making far more complex and sophisticated music - that does not mean better, it just means what it means - and he’s amazing.
I want to say thank you foe the music, again and again, you were the first muscian I heard when I was 6 years old. Since that moment I decided to fallow my dreams in music, television, rock n' roll and of course Electronic Music, now I'm 46 years old and I know I will die loving electronic sounds and the most fine music through my whole life. I saw you in 2017 and I believe miracles happen. Thank you Jan Michael.
Jarre is actually a legend! I’m 27 and i never had the chance to attend his magnificent concerts, but i love his music and in my opinion he is sooo ahead of his time, and actually he has a big and kind heart:)
...let's not forget that this man is literally one of the Grandpas of electronic music. He literally remembers when electronic music was unheard of. He literally 'resamples' the real instruments hahaha Let us bow in his greatness lol
that's the way it was always done, until some thought it would be fun to sample large sections of finished songs and loop them. Not sure what's so funny about it
Jean Michel Jarre was one of the Godfathers of Electronic Popular Music. He was inspired by the 1968 Pink Floyd Album "A Saucefulful of Secret" especially the Song Celestial Voices. The other Guys were People like Edgar Froese in Berlin, wo was living as Guest of Salvador Dali in Summer 1968 and was inspired by that second Pink Floyd Album to found the Band Tangerine Dream. Even in that Time the Düsseldorf located Band was founded in 1970 and in that year they performed the first live show in german Television and presenting the First Time Music which was two decades later named Techno. The Father of Jean Michel was Maurice Jarre - he made the Soundtrack of famous movies like "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Death Poets Society". The first Album of JMJ was "Oxygene" the first Vinyl pressed Music with Polyphonic Sythesizers like Poly Moog in that Awesome Era of analogue and nondigital Synthesizers between the 68/70ies Experimental and Krautrock Music and the Postpunk/New Wave Era with Pre Techno Bands like DAF and Front 242. The Digital Sampler and MIDI Interface was introduced seven years later in 1984. Making electronic then became a trivial bullshit rubbish like Modern Talking etc. In 1986 the last Album of Kraftwerk with the later MTV Single "Techno Pop".... What is stunning in that monumental Music of JMJ are his concert. I joined his Concert in July 1990 in Paris La Defense. A Concert four times bigger than Woodstock and after his 2004 Concert in Moscow the worlds largest open air in history of mankind. If was standing 200 Meters awas from the Stage of the Musicians. On the Avenue Charles de Gaulle there were standing two Million People behind me. This is one of the videos: th-cam.com/video/umNPLPbTcA8/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Absolutely a legend in music, Jarre set the pioneers of music what we hear today, and in a lot of music today you can hear Jarre’s elements of music. I’ve seen him 4times at various gigs, every time, it’s breathtaking to see and hear his creations. But I like the most his early works, my most favourite album is Eqinoxe, he made this album in his small kitchen in 8months, a true genius at work. Love to see him again perform at outdoor stadiums again, The Chronology Tour was very very good
A legendary synthesizer operator, and an inspiration to many proving you don't need monster classical or jazz keyboard chops to do meaningful work. Thanks for the upload guys!
Jarre IS classically trained - the difference is he enjoys the art of music creation and performance rather than reading someone else's compositions :-)
I just... I cant speak:) Jean is a legend with his nice and simple personality. The father of intelligent electro music. Thank You FM for this video! Good to see Jean in healthy and happy :) Greetings Jean!
+BMR Studio The father of intelligent electro Are Klaus Schulze,Tangerine dream ,Kraftwerk ,Yello,The Orbs ,Aphex twin but certainly not this French clown...
+elek snow I think He also a father :) Music is a bitch, and can dicked with many father heheheh. But dont blme on this guy until You do a better songs, albums. With more disc selling. He is a great musician.
@BMR Studio I am quite surprised that you like Jarre's music. I have watched your studio-building videos and also MC-909, MV-8800 & Copperlan MIDI stuff.
You are a legend, I have listened to your music since I was 7 years old, I have all your albums and was listening to oxygen love your music, you made my childhood enjoyable, listening through my first Sony Walkman. Now I have all your music on my mp3. You are amazing musician. Excellent. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏
Only seeing this video after already having heard the track, is very inspiring, and makes me appreciate the track so much more; I'm listening with new ears!
I grew up listening to him, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Miami Vice, etc. And I have got to say Jean Michel Jarre has have more influence on me. Still listen to their masterpieces ever single day!
I grew up hearing his music, he's Amazingly tellented ! one concert that I am obsessed with listening to is the pyramids millennium concert 2000 I love it so much 💕 so moving !
Thank you so much FM Magazine for this fantastic insight into the working style of my favourite musician Jean Michel Jarre.I enjoyed every second of this interview.
It was 1989 when I first heard one of the original Oxygen album songs being played at some cafeteria. At that time, I had no idea who JMJ is. The very same day I went out and bought the CD. Eversince that day, I follow the work of this legend religiously.
I am glad this video began with telling non French listeners how to correctly pronounce his name! I found it surprising how many other interviews lacked that basic information at the start!
Jarre is such an amazing and gifted musician . A real and true genius in every sense of the word. He always comes across as such a nice and approachable person as well. He has such a warm and friendly manner about him. I would give ANYTHING I could if he were to do a collaboration with Mike Oldfield. That would just make my life complete : ) Merci Maestro. Je taime ♥☺
i’ve always admired mr. Jarre’s person, not only his music, but also the way he works, the way he thinks.. i like to compare him as the Steve Jobs of music, with a vision in his mind, he brought electronic things to people.. easily the best electronic musician ever existed so far
I would love to see what he can do today with all his old synthesisers For me oxygen and equinoxe will be around for ever but its still good to see a true master at work Brilliant
Fantastic video, amazing to see into the studio of my musical hero. Oxygene was my childhood album (I'm a 90's born 00's kid). Also I hate that the UK still uses inches/feet a lot (it's how most people express their height) and we still use miles per hour but as an engineering student I only ever deal with metric and SI units so I'm used to the metric system
L. absolutely man, wish the whole world conformed to using it, life would be so much easier and it makes far more sense. All metric units are formed on universal constants (apart from kilograms which is soon to be or maybe is now)
Benny Heflinger if every inventor/scientist/engineer/etc. used whatever standard they felt like, we would have no progression in in technology. We'd be making too many mistakes converting from different forms and it just wastes time. The metric system works because it's based on the universe; the imperial system is based on non-constant references which is quite dangerous in the long term of technical progression. Fair enough if your relatives accomplished a lot using imperial systems but that was the system at the time and it's not as effective as the metric system and SI units today. Also the GPS system, MRI machines and Mars Rover all use SI units and the metric system. If you don't believe me, research it further yourself. There's a reason all STEM degrees use SI units and that's because it makes more sense than using the imperial system, it's a stable and constant form of measuring. Do some research on the metric system and SI units, then tell me that we shouldn't conform to the metric system. There is no use hanging back in time with the imperial system and it's this sort of thinking that keeps us from "move forward" as you put it I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed to use the imperial system, you were probably brought up in it, and that's fine, you can use it all you want. But in the future the imperial system will pass away as the obsolete and defunct measurement system that it is.
It's fantastic and very nice of Jean-Michel to share the knowledge about his techniques for making his music, I being a long time fan of his music appreciate this teaching. It's so interesting to learn about the tricks and ways the sound has been created and recorded to form at the end the very well known tracks. Luckily, I was born so long time ago that I could witness the beginnings of electronic music, with Oxygene and Equinox in the centre of the stream. Since I heard this sounds I dreamt of having one day the chance to recreate them in order to play them myself. Of course, with my limited budget I cannot afford to buy the same synthesizers as Jean-Michel uses...I have to emulate some sounds (some of them can be heard on my YT channel) but in fact some iconic sounds cannot be made 100% real by any other sythesizers than the original. One more remark about what JMJ said in the clip above...he said that the Eminent (310-U) sounds better than the Solina (Ensemble) because Solina uses only one chorus circuitry, contrary to Eminent, which uses three chorus circuits at the same time. It's not correct (sorry Jean-Michel). Solina Ensemble (originally made by the same Dutch company Eminent and later licenced to ARP) uses the same concept as Eminent 310U: both have a triple chorus circuitry (the phase of modulation of the second chorus is shifted and the phase modulating the third chorus circuit is reversed in regards to the second chorus circuit), however, the Eminent 310-U has it built on transistors, while Solina uses operational amplifiers (chips). Different are also the basic sound generators, which are made on transistors in Eminent 310-U (with frequency dividers also made on transistors) and made with the TTL chips in Solina. Anyway, the sounds they both create, both fantastic, are different.
I am still in love with Arlette! Merci Jean-Michel.... la premiere fois que j’ai entendu Oxygène j’avais 8 ans. Depuis je suis en amour avec toute forme de musique électronique. À 51 ans c’est encore une passion de “jouer” avec tout ces sons. Merci encore de partager ta passion!
I'm still amazed with the way he works... It's very hard nowadays to remember how prehistoric technology had it's limits, triggering creativity at the same time, hence the tape example at the end...
Ableton plugin presets, love for the NI effect plugins - damn! It seems so encouraging to know that JMJ uses the same shit as I do. But then I consider the difference in the music level and it actually feels depressing. OK, finishing commenting on youtube, gotta go write more music.
It's like vfx, we can use the same software as film makers, but it takes talent to create real cool music. The technology barrier is gone now. Nobody has an excuse in film, effects or music now. Everything is possible if you have the talent. Ideas are the thing now, not how to realise them.
Thank you for posting and JMJ - if you ever read, thank you for your music and artistic interpretations for your live shows - you have inspired me like no-one else and I could never thank you enough. I have multiple disabilities and you being in the world has made life much more enjoyable. x
What an awesome breakdown! Lovely guy too! I have got no problem with the Garrix/Avici/ presets - approach, but man it's lovely to see someone who actually knows what he is doing
Because he belong from an era where presets were merely an embrional thing, before 80's synths (except some case) haven't preset , so you have to write it down on paper and know what you are doing.
Best part of the video for me. I knew they used to cut sellotape magnetic tape to create loops back then but I didn't understand how they dealt with different lengths... I was flabbergasted to see the microphone stand.
Watching a HERO of ours in casual semi tek conversation , someone who for decades i only know from enigmatic back of album pix... is so wonderful and bizzare i had to comment. When i first heard Oxygen as a kid from an unseen source ..a window? not long after it came out..i had NO idea what i was hearing ..how it was made...was one of the most alien experiences of my life..opened up my imagination and introduced me to the world of electronic music...
I got my music sense for the first time when I first heard Equinox and went on to sample sequencing music and synthesis with my brother Jamie Sutherland 2002 - 2010. I find the experience useful in the production of HD BluRay video soundtracks 2013-2016 and so on. Thanks for the insights.
I like Jarre's respect towards British things like the Radiophonic Workshop (BBC) and VCS synthesizer. The Brits don't usually respect a Frenchman for obvious reasons (French grossly overcharge for wine, food, fashion, watches, etc.) but the Frenchman has so much respect for the British things regardless. I really like that.
+Gully Foyle I would love to see Moroder and Vangelis!! Seems like they rarely give interviews. And to see those guys in their own studios, doing their thing?! C'mon, that would be tremendous!
Running the tape loop around a mic stand, superb. I've loved his music since I was teenager. Showing us how he creates his sound is such a privilege. Its magical.
The tape machine trick was cool af. Working with the hardware back then must've been work. Reminded me of Pink Floyd explaining how they got their "Money" sound in the beginning.
He's a very kind man to be showing how he records music. Not every musician is so open and willing to share.
Yes and we don't need to remember all the time that there is a war.
@@rubenalonzolinares6884 ...unless you're the one needing help in a war of course!
@@skippyshake Help? from who?. NATO?. Do you want a NUCLEAR world war? . I don' belive it.
@@rubenalonzolinares6884 Good thing historically there were people in the world with some balls, otherwise we'd all be speaking Deutsch.
Yes you're right skippyshake that's why people are call him father of electronic music ❤❤❤
this guy is a legend

And his dad was a movie music producer
A quality feature, Jarre like we've never seen him before. Thanks for this great video!
Please we want more seminars with Jean-Michel. This is excellent.
This man is a music magician. Great sounds, great atmosphere's! Much admiration Mr Jarre! :-)

All I can say is RESPECT! This genius is why I’ve played synths for 35 years now. Brilliant video!

He is a very smart man and knows how to make music 🎶 with sync keyboards.
I am glad this video began with telling non French listeners how to correctly pronounce his name! I found it surprising how many other interviews lacked that basic information at the start!
I bought Oxygene when I was 13 and have been listening to it for 42 years now. Between JmJ and Kraftwerk, my music tastes were molded early in life...
His music is ahead of the curve. A pioneer in electronic music.
Jarre is such an amazing and gifted musician . A real and true genius in every sense of the word. He always comes across as such a nice and approachable person as well. He has such a warm and friendly manner about him. I would give ANYTHING I could if he were to do a collaboration with Mike Oldfield. That would just make my life complete : ) Merci Maestro.

wonderful video from godfather of electronic music !thanks for sharing ! I love Jean michel &his work !
my Hero and my inspiration to start playing with synthesisers....the electronic scene owes a lot to this man (",)
My favourite track on the album. Would love to hear Jean-Michel talk about every single one of his songs.
he is amazing thanks god for making him i wish i could meet him like my dad
Can't wait to hear Jean Michel Jarre's new album. This track with Air sounds particularly great!
I would love to see what he can do today with all his old synthesisers For me oxygen and equinoxe will be around for ever but its still good to see a true master at work Brilliant
you can.identify AIR pretty clearly in there. I love them both
Fantastic video, amazing to see into the studio of my musical hero. Oxygene was my childhood album (I'm a 90's born 00's kid). Also I hate that the UK still uses inches/feet a lot (it's how most people express their height) and we still use miles per hour but as an engineering student I only ever deal with metric and SI units so I'm used to the metric system
the best system.
L. absolutely man, wish the whole world conformed to using it, life would be so much easier and it makes far more sense. All metric units are formed on universal constants (apart from kilograms which is soon to be or maybe is now)
Benny Heflinger if every inventor/scientist/engineer/etc. used whatever standard they felt like, we would have no progression in in technology. We'd be making too many mistakes converting from different forms and it just wastes time. The metric system works because it's based on the universe; the imperial system is based on non-constant references which is quite dangerous in the long term of technical progression.

Also the GPS system, MRI machines and Mars Rover all use SI units and the metric system. If you don't believe me, research it further yourself.
There's a reason all STEM degrees use SI units and that's because it makes more sense than using the imperial system, it's a stable and constant form of measuring. Do some research on the metric system and SI units, then tell me that we shouldn't conform to the metric system. There is no use hanging back in time with the imperial system and it's this sort of thinking that keeps us from "move forward" as you put it
I'm not saying you shouldn't be allowed to use the imperial system, you were probably brought up in it, and that's fine, you can use it all you want. But in the future the imperial system will pass away as the obsolete and defunct measurement system that it is.
We sound very similar :P
Don’t understand metric at all. I’m old school and prefer measurements that way. So I’m glad we still use them
It's fantastic and very nice of Jean-Michel to share the knowledge about his techniques for making his music, I being a long time fan of his music appreciate this teaching.

Without this man, this legend, the soundtrack of our lives wouldn't be the same
Thank you for making this available on hdtracks.com I wouldn't have gotten this album if it was not on hdtracks.com
His music, nearer to us than never before...
Obrigado por este grande momento!!!! Thank you for this great time !!!!
great inspiration for all music makers, if we become anything like this at 67 then we are set and on the right track hahaha
What a great gift this amazing video is. * * * * *
Thanks a lot for sharing all these interesting details with us.
Thank you JM. :-)
looking forward to the tour
Seen him twice in Manchester MEN, brilliant
A joy and a privilege to see behind the curtain .. thank you!
That infinite tape loop with the mic stand is amazing. Makes me feel a little spoiled for having a Maschine..
Best part of the video for me. I knew they used to cut sellotape magnetic tape to create loops back then but I didn't understand how they dealt with different lengths... I was flabbergasted to see the microphone stand.
The King! The Best Music artist on our solar system. JMJ makes life happy.
Love this, the recent bbc radio 6 music show he did compliments this nicely
Thank you for doing this JMJ,
what a legend!! so humble man and genius, thank you for this great video
Master works!
un gran maestro....Graciasss
Jean-Michel YOU ARE GOD!!!
Watching a HERO of ours in casual semi tek conversation , someone who for decades i only know from enigmatic back of album pix... is so wonderful and bizzare i had to comment.

I got my music sense for the first time when I first heard Equinox and went on to sample sequencing music and synthesis with my brother Jamie Sutherland 2002 - 2010. I find the experience useful in the production of HD BluRay video soundtracks 2013-2016 and so on. Thanks for the insights.
Excellent video! He is very creative and he is always an inspiration
I like Jarre's respect towards British things like the Radiophonic Workshop (BBC) and VCS synthesizer. The Brits don't usually respect a Frenchman for obvious reasons (French grossly overcharge for wine, food, fashion, watches, etc.) but the Frenchman has so much respect for the British things regardless. I really like that.
Great vid, I didn't realise I had so many instruments and plug-ins in common with Jarre.
Great video! So cool to see the master himself at work.
Thanks for this wonderfoll electronic music lesson
Człowiek legenda! Ogromny szacunek dla Pana.
Respect for the master of masters. Kudos for the video.
The live legend of electronic music! I love you, my French!!! 🇧🇷🇫🇷❤
*Great documentrary. Amazing. Congratulations.*
Excellent video and sounds in the studio!!
So many great parts of music
Like Equinoxe 5 or rendez vous 4
Great music star👍🎶
I've always liked his orchestration...such playful sounds
Good one, thx FM&Jean Michel :)
Great to see him in the studio.A true Innovator
A true legend and a very nice person.
What about a studio tour with another real stars of the genre as : Moroder, Jan Hammer, Vangelis etc ?
+Gully Foyle there are videos of Vangelis studio and his insane preset setup on youtube
Yeah I konw, thanks! but i'd like to watch something done by the FM team, too.
+Gully Foyle I would love to see Moroder and Vangelis!! Seems like they rarely give interviews. And to see those guys in their own studios, doing their thing?! C'mon, that would be tremendous!
Me too, Tekis. Geniuses are often very reclusive people. :)
Those are all possibilities, but the real challenge is getting through to Kraftwerks Kling Klang Studios.
a big wow from me
Wow. Now this is cool. Love this guy
