With albums sold in tens of millions of copies around the world, and spectacular concerts in exceptional places and in front of gigantic crowds (3.5 million people in Moscow in 1997), Jean-Michel Jarre is the musician who allowed electronic music to reach a wide audience. The Frenchman’s passion is that since his beginnings as a lyricist, for Christophe and Patrick Juvet in particular, he has never stopped reinventing himself and experimenting. One year later Oxymoronan album in the form of a tribute to Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry, pioneers of electroacoustic music, he unveiled last Friday, Oxymoreworks, which he presents as an extension. “I asked artists I like to continue this homage to the French roots of global electronic music.
