Jean Michel Jarre débarque au festival de Carthage !
Et bien oui c’est confirmé ! Jean Michel Jarre sera présent sur les planches du festival de Carthage le 12 août 2013.
Les amateurs de spectacles grandioses auront la chance de voir sur
scène cet artiste de renommée mondiale qui a su au fil des années se
différencier par son amour de la musique et de la technologie. Il a su
allier les deux avec brio afin de transmettre à son public cet amour
d’enfance qui ne l’a jamais quitté…
On y sera et le ciel étoilé du festival de Carthage n’a qu’à bien se tenir !
Jean Michel Jarre en quelques lignes…
Jean Michel Jarre acquiert une renommée internationale en 1977,
avec l’immense succès de son album “Oxygene”, vendu à plus de 18
millions d’exemplaires à travers le monde.
Destin extraordinaire que celui de Jean Michel Jarre, dans le
sillage d’un autre grand artiste, son père Maurice Jarre, lui-même
compositeur de bandes originales de films hollywoodiens de légende
(Docteur Jivago, Laurence d’Arabie…) Deux musiciens, deux célébrités,
père et fils, connus et reconnus dans le monde entier pour leur grand
talent.
Pionnier dans son domaine, Jean Michel Jarre a très largement
contribué à l’essor de la plus grande révolution musicale du 20ème
siècle : la musique électronique. Concevant sa musique en l’abordant non
pas uniquement au travers des notes mais en prenant en compte également
les sons en tant que tels, Jean Michel Jarre s’est tracé un chemin qui
lui est propre, créant une identité sonore unique en son genre.
Après avoir étudié l’harmonie et le contrepoint au Conservatoire de
Paris, il voulut réinventer la musique en son essence même, avec sa
propre vision et en utilisant les technologies et les outils de son
époque. Cette approche avant-gardiste donna naissance à des albums au
succès planétaire comme « Oxygene », « Equinoxe », « Chants Magnétiques
», « Zoolook », « Rendez-vous »… Ce sont plus de 80 millions d’albums
vendus à ce jour sur les cinq continents.
Beaucoup d’artistes de la scène contemporaine le cite comme source d’influence, tels Air, Moby, Sébastien Tellier, Vitalic…
À l’instar de sa révolution musicale, il a imaginé un tout nouveau
genre et format de concert. S’éloignant des schémas traditionnels, Jarre
proposa sa musique et sa vision en plein air pour le plus grand nombre.
Souvent gratuits et ouverts à tous, ces concerts-spectacles à la pointe
de la technologie mettent en scène les paysages, urbains ou naturels,
dans lesquels ils sont produits. Chaque concert est une « œuvre d’art
panoramique » sonore et visuelle, conçue à grande échelle pour une
expérience incomparable.
Ses concerts légendaires ont attiré des foules impressionnantes aux
quatre coins du globe, battant des records d’affluence qui lui ont
permis de figurer à plusieurs reprises dans le Livre Guinness des
Records.
Leur contexte touche souvent à l’Histoire, à la politique, à
l’engagement environnemental, mais également à des évènements
socioculturels, bénéficiant ainsi de couvertures médiatique très
étendues.
Ces concerts ont eu lieu dans des endroits extraordinaires
marquant des moments hors du commun : De la Chine rouge de l’après Mao à
celle d’aujourd’hui, du Texas en collaboration avec la NASA après la
tragédie de Challenger au concert de bienvenue du Pape Jean-Paul II dans
la ville de Lyon (dans un contexte historique de vague terroriste
coïncidant avec les prédictions de Nostradamus), de la saga des
Docklands à Londres (avec des acteurs tels que SAR Diana Princesse de
Galles ou encore le magnat des médias et des affaires Robert Maxwell,
dans des conditions météorologiques atroces…), de la Pologne et
Solidarnosc à l’invitation du Prix Nobel de la Paix Lech Walesa à Paris
pour l’engagement environnemental cher au Commandant Jacques-Yves
Cousteau, des Grandes Pyramides d’Egypte pour le passage dans le nouveau
Millénaire au record absolu de 3,5 millions de spectateurs à Moscou… et
à son engagement au sein des Nations Unies via l’UNESCO en tant
qu’Ambassadeur de Bonne Volonté et porte-parole pour l’environnement et
l’éducation (L’eau pour la vie et l’Education pour tous). Le parcours
multi-angles de ce musicien visionnaire et engagé offre un regard
original et un témoignage unique sur notre époque.
Si la musique de Jarre est si universelle c’est aussi parce qu’elle se situe dans une catégorie à part, créée par un homme qui a toujours suivi sa propre vision et expression, éloignée des tendances musicales d’une mode, animée par une immense curiosité du monde et de l’univers dans lequel nous évoluons : les merveilles et les sons de la nature, le devoir de préserver notre planète, la politique et la sociologie de nos sociétés, l’immense richesse des cultures et des peuples, l’évolution fantastique de la technologie dans nos générations actuelles et le don qu’a la musique d’être un langage universel au-delà des âges, cultures ou des classes sociales…. Ces thèmes ont toujours guidé Jarre et sont les fondations de son succès et de sa carrière pérenne.

Welcome to the dotmusic chat with Jean-Michel Jarre (30/06/2000)
dotmusic: Jean-Michel will be
here to chat at 5pm (UK time)please be patient dotmusic: Jean-Michel is here - let's
go
Martin Pollard from UK
asks: Do you have any say or input over your jarre.com website, and are you
aware of the state of it is in, especially the fans forum that has been ruined
by a mindless few?
Jean-Michel: I'm
aware of the forum and I feel good about the fact that poeople are talking about
my work and expressing themselves Wayne Morris from nowhere asks: I was wondering. Do you
ever think about the day when you will decide to retire from doing your concerts
and if so do you plan to give one final spectacular and at what location might
that be? Jean-Michel: On
the moon Loïc F from Belgium
asks: Who get the idea to involve Eiffel65 on the teb remixes
? Jean-Michel: It
was the Italian record company - a good friend of mine who was in touch with
them. They loved my work and I decided to get in touch. Jon Langenes from nowhere
asks: What is your favorite analog synth? Jean-Michel: It's the English putney VCS3 - one of the
first European synths at the same time as the Moog Jeroen Visch from Netherlands
asks: How do you feel about join forces with Emma Shaplin for a
song/composition? Jean-Michel: It
would be great. I love here voice very much Michael Kjær Sønderskov from
nowhere asks: Mr Jarre, Will you release some of you old concerts on DVD?
Votes show that we are many woh wants them!? Jean-Michel: I would. Dvd requires 5 to 1 sound and top
quality images. It needs lots of work and I'm working on releasing dvds in the
future Howie from UK asks:
Jean Michel, what do you think of your fans making remixes of your music, for
non-profit performance, and broadcast over the internet. Are you for or against
this? Jean-Michel: I'm
totally for it. Zbyszek from
Poland asks: Hello. Are you planning to make more "classical", old-style
album in the future? Daniel
Stevens from Germany asks: I miss your old style of music! Will you ever
return to your 70's-80's style or will it be a fusion of old and
new? Jean-Michel: I
don't really know what you mean. I would like to belnd those styles with what's
going on today in the electronic field Jean-Michel: I think I've just answered that. I'm mixing
both worlds on a project at the moment. Andy from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada asks: Jean-Michel,
your music has been influenced by different cultures, what is your "take" on
Reggae music... any plans... ? Jean-Michel: No plans. I love reggae music and it's true
I've never been involved so far with reggae artists. Aleksandar from Australia
asks: Taking into account today's technology, what advice would you give an
aspiring composer? Should he struggle to be accepted by a record company or
simply channel his every effort into promoting his music through the
internet? Jean-Michel: I
think it's complimentary - the offline and online. They are both good routes. It
depends on the situation. You have to respect both worlds. wulumulu from nowhere asks:
Nice to meet you again, Mr Jarre. Q: Why was Metamorphoses never released in the
US? Jean-Michel: It's
going to be released later this year. It's been delayed for record company
reasons. BigJarreFan from
Netherlands asks: Jean-Michel can you tell me when you will give your next
concert ?, and where ? Jean-Michel: It could be on the internet - probably from
Asia and Denmark maybe the end of the year BigJarreFan from The Netherlands
asks: Are you working on a new Album ? Jean-Michel: I'm working on a new musical project linked
with an internet performance wulumulu from nowhere asks: How did you come to the
decision of releasing Tout Est Bleu as the next single rather than, say, Hey
Gargarin ? Jean-Michel:
Gargarin is dance track,I think Tout Est Bleu seemed more appropriate for the
summer time. Garagarin should be the next one. Aleksandar from Australia
asks: Jean-Michel, hello from Australia! When will you be visiting us down
here? Jean-Michel: I
hope soon. I hope to tour in Australia and maybe going to Ayres Rock - that
would be interesting but this project will take me quite a
while Alya from Egypt
asks: How was your visit to Egypt in the Millennium 2000
? Jean-Michel: It
went very well. We were honoured to be invited and it went very well and was a
big success glenn
folkvord from nowhere asks: Bonsoir Jean-Michel, Metamorphoses was a
departure for you, with lyrics and a new musical style. What lesson did it teach
you? Jean-Michel: As
soona s you put words onto music you are more personal and more intimate and
start telling stories and not only making soundscapes. I found it a great
experience, very different. In the future I'd like to mix
both Dave Freeman from
nowhere asks: How do you feel fans are now in control of your official
website? Jean-Michel: It
was actually my decision. Fans are the best people to be involved to refresh the
website which is the main issue after a while Coen 'n' Fedor from Sabern
asks: What are the names of your cat and your dog? Jean-Michel: Greta for the dog and the cat is
Blackie Varthall from trieste,
Italy asks: What about releasing again an album for free, as you did with
Music for Supermarkets? Jean-Michel: Maybe something I may do on my website soon
as an experience. It may happen Lina Panova from nowhere asks: Jean-Lina-are you
single? BigJarreFan from The
Netherlands asks: What do you children think about your music
? Jean-Michel: I
think they probably like some of it but certainly not all of it. It's different
for a girl and boy - I don't know MD from England asks: Jean-Michel, are you aware of the
jarre@clic.net electronic discussion mailing list, which now consists of 1000
fans continually discussing your work? Jean-Michel: Yes I am aware of it and I'm really honoured
by all of this. I would like to involve this community around my new
website Milan from Slovakia
asks: Remixes of your songs have been lately discussed. Some fans like them,
some not because they claim that the original idea is destroyed by that. What is
your opinion on that ? Jean-Michel: I think the idea of remixing is to create a
new version. In each case it is a matter of discussions. dotmusic: Have you been watching Euro
2000 Jean-Michel:
Absolutelyt. I won a bet because I said from the beginning that the Final would
be France v Italy. I think we have a very strong team and I'm glad the Italians
are exhausted by the semi-final. They were great. andreas from greece asks:
Metamorphoses was your only album that u didn´t reveal the instruments u used in
its booklet.Why is that? Coen 'n' Fedor from Sabern asks: Was working with a
co-producer different than working/producing alone? Jean-Michel: Because I worked in a different way with Pro
Tools and I did a lot of things from this software. I promise next time I will
produce the list again. Jean-Michel: It's interesting working with someone else.
You can have an exchange on the process and it's not the same as working with
musicians Daniel Stevens from
Germany asks: If France should win the Euro2000 final, will you stage
another big show in honour of their victory, just like in
1998? Jean-Michel:
Actually I heard the Belgian organisation were thinking of using the new single
for the French team. No plans for a show at the moment Tim Page from UK asks: Who
would you most like to collaborate with and why? Would you consider working with
Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield or Vangelis? Jean-Michel: With Vangelis I always thought that could be
interesting. Otherwise I'd consider more working with Jacques Le Conte from Les
Rhythmes Digitales or Orbital or Leftfield. wulumulu from nowhere asks:
Have you ever listened to a piece of music and thought "I wish I had written
that!", what piece would it be? Jean-Michel: Lots. John Lennon's 'Imagine' and Peter
Gabriel's 'Passion' and Chemical Brothers not the last album the one
before simon from Wales
asks: I read in an interview that you used some of the old fairlight samples
on the new album. Do you still use the old monster ? Jean-Michel: Lots. John Lennon's 'Imagine' and Peter
Gabriel's 'Passion' and Chemical Brothers not the last album the one
before Georgina Mills from
United Kingdom asks: As penguins feature so much in your concerts, would you
concider a pet penguin? Jean-Michel: That would be my dream. They can't live in
Europe otherwise I would have one. They are always dfressed formal - and the
ideal butler and clapping at the right time Jem from London asks: what
was the last album you bought? or what are you listening to at
home? Jean-Michel: I'm
very into Cafe Del Mar - Ibiza music because it's summer. Number 6 is my
favourite. I also love a new album by Saint Germaine called
'Touriste' Choccy from UK
asks: I love the water sprinkler sample in Miss Moon, its very clever. Do
you enjoy gardening if you get the time? Jean-Michel: Not at all. I'm more into other kinds of
indoor games PMgep from
Sweden asks: I haw heard rumours that say that the laser-harp is fake. What
do you think about that? Jean-Michel: It's understandable because it's so unusual.
It's fun that so many people talk about it. It is a real instrument where each
beam is connected to a synth and the computer decodes the placing of the hand
and the velocity. It's great fun to play Daniel Stevens from Germany asks: What is your opinion
about Napster? Would you agree with Metallica? Jean-Michel: I think what Metallica has done is useless.
Napster questions the whole music industry, and the old record industry should
have evolved and Napster is proof of that. A good way to stop Napster would be
to put a 'I Love You' virus in it. If anybody wants t Stacey Greensall from uk
asks: have you any plans to release any major multimedia projects
Jean-Michel: Yes -
this is my priority and I'm working now on the new website which will be
entirely controlled by fans and myself and will be called Jarre.net and will be
ready by September. The other project is musical and a concert tailor made for
the internet. dotmusic: Jean-Michel has time
for one more question. Tim Page from UK asks: Would you create a regular
multimedia show such as Peter Gabriel's Ovo for the Millenium
Done? Jean-Michel: I
would like to on the Net. The Ovo project is very interesting. I love Peter's
work and Mark Fisher, the designer. I'm working with Mark
now. Jean-Michel: I
really enjoyed this chat and am always open for more. I feel really pleased and
good about so manyb people being interested in my work. I try to give them back
and go back to them as soon as possible with more interesting things so stay
connected.
