Jean Michel Jarre - a little about the work of the pioneer of electronic music

    Hello dear habravchani! Parsing his musical archives and listening to the partially forgotten hits of the past, he came across one of the founders of electronic music, Jean-Michel Jarre . His music is not like anything, just hear a piece of his track to accurately say who the performer is.



    Surely, some of you will remember the terrible broadcasts about UFOs on the first channel, the boom of which occurred in the early 90s. And if you are straining your memory, then perhaps remember what terrifying music accompanied all these programs. Only 15 years later I learned that this


    terrifying and awe-inspiring music was written by Jean-Michel ... It was called “Ethnicolor” ...


    The famous "Oxygene", which they so loved to insert in the title and credits of Soviet programs ...


    Or the exciting and tormenting soul composition " Rendez-Vous ", which served as background music in "Catastrophes of the Week" on NTV.

    This composer can be called, if not the geek of his time, then at least a pioneer in the use of computer technology. Synthesizers, light and laser shows, electronic music ... In addition, Jean-Michel Jarre collects robots.

    And for the rial time listening, I prepared the composer's work closest to our community, entitled “Computer weekend” ... Listen to how your computer would sing, if it had its own voice. )) Despite the fact that this track is already 20 years old*, it so clearly conveys the wonderful, fervent atmosphere of our iron friends that you want to give your computer a mouth with vocal cords and ask him to sing for you. It was this composition that prompted me to create on Habré the theme of the wonderful composer Jean-Michel Jarre!

    Thank you for your attention and have a nice “computer weekend”! ..;)

    UPD: * -Thanks onthefly for more accurate information!

    PS For the first acquaintance with the author I recommend the album "Images" released in 1991. It contains the most famous works of Jean-Michel.
