Jean Michel Jarre - Talk about "Métamorphoses"

 

Jean Michel Jarre - Gagarin (Hey Gagarin)

◄ "Hey Gagarin" from album Métamorphoses. 

◄ This album was, to fans, a surprising break from his previous works, as it makes extensive use of vocal elements, as well as house, techno, trance, dance-pop, breakbeat, and downtempo sounds. The vocal elements are not short, sampled pieces as highlighted in his album Zoolook, but longer, more integral parts of the work, and thus quite surprising for an artist known for his instrumental works. Métamorphoses is also Jarre's first album to contain actual songs with lyrics. Jarre's own voice is heard through a vocoder in many of the songs, but the album contains several other singers as well, mostly female singers. "Rendez-Vous à Paris" features Sharon Corr on violin. "Rendez-Vous à Paris" and "Bells" are the only largely instrumental tracks on the album; in the former only the track title is repeated in rhythm, the latter does not have intelligible lyrics. Although the album was generally not badly received by critics, and despite the collaborations and a number of single releases ("C'est la Vie" and "Tout Est Bleu"), Jarre did not achieve great mainstream success with this album.

◄ "Looking back, I enjoyed the album, [Oxygène 7--13] but after I finished it I knew that I had to make a fresh start. I had to go somewhere completely different. Metamorphoses is like a blank page for me, a new beginning. — Jean Michel Jarre

Yuri Gagarin was the first to see Earth from space and his legacy has motivated many young people to follow careers in science and engineering - and to become astronauts.

Lyrics:

Pas d'amélioration
Des nuages
Du mauvais temps en prévision
No signs of any clearance
before the end of next week
il y a du sable jaune dans le vent
Gale force winds are to be expected
at high altitudes
Cloudy
Mais tout est bleu
Dans tes yeux
Des nuages sont attendus
pour la fin de journée
Rain and hail storms
should be no surprise
late afternoon
Low temperatures
Chorus
Le soleil n'apparaitra
Pas du tout
Pas du tout
Pas du tout

Jean Michel Jarre - Interview - Muse (23/03/2000)

When it comes to electronic music, there is a godfather and his name is Jean Michel Jarre.  

Jocelyn Clarke talks to him about joining up the dots.

 
On his new album, "Metamorphoses", Jean Michel Jarre uses the stuttering electronic interference of a mobile phone to underpin the rhythm track of the song "Tout Est Bleu". It's a technological prank from a maveric composer who has defined and redefined electronic music over the last 25 years, ever since the release of his seminal and groundbreaking album, "Oxygene". The mobile phone gag, along with the sample of a chattering lawn sprinkler ("Miss Moon"), the vocal appearances by Laurie Anderson ("Je Me Souviens"), Natacha Atlas ("C'est La Vie"), and Jarre himself ("Gloria", "Lonely Boy"), not to mention the eclectic cross-pollination of music styles and references (from Algerian rai and Irish fiddle to the signature sounds of Underworld and Orbital) mark a new and innovative direction in Jarre's musical career. And of unexpected accidents.
"This mobile sound happened because my mobile phone was close to a speaker and each time I tried to record this bloody song, the phone went off and interfered with it. Then I realised it might be nice to involve it. It's also nice to integrate a bit of humour into technology as well. Accidents are the basis of any arts form, even songs. When you are composing a song on the piano, what makes you find the next note vis a vis the previous one is an accident in a sense. I love to exploit any kind of accident." 

With "Oxygene" (1976), "Equinoxe" (1978) and "Magnetic Fields" (1981), Jarre liberated electronic music from its domination by wireheads and academics - think of the early IRCAM performances with boffins twiddling knobs on stage - and brought it to the forefront of popular culture. All three albums sold several million copies each, and Jarre was voted Man Of The Year in People magazine. With his first outdoor Place de la Concorde concert in Paris for Bastille Day in 1979, and the later 1986 Rendezvous Houston and 1987 Destination Docklands concerts, Jarre brought an unparalleled showmanship to electronic music, combining video projection with laser displays into uber-spectacles which transformed cities into arenas - both Paris and Houston set records with attendances of one million plus. 

"When I discovered the idea of electronic music, I didn't think that it was just an odd or eccentric way of doing music, but one which could become a style or a genre in itself. I always considered that electronic music, the fact that music was made with electronic instruments, was not the goal in itself. I really tried to explore how electronic music could be an alternative because I was always convinced that it would be a true alternative to rock & roll, and by also exploring how to perform electronic music with instruments that were not devised for stage performance. That's why I have been involved in an experimental way with these big shows, and by trying to integrate visual techniques with the music, I have tried to find the right vocabulary and grammar to translate and convey electronic music on stage. 

"Our grandparents used to say that they were going to listen to somebody playing in a theatre or a hall. These days, we say that we are going to see somebody. It means that because of CD and mindisc technology, we are listening to music at home, in our cars and even on the internet, so when we go to see artists performing, it is with a different expectation - of something more on the visual point of view. The main difference, for me, between electronic music and any other kind of music is the fact that you can deal not only with notes or arpeggios or chords but also with sounds. I always considered electronic music to be like cooking, about mixing all the ingredients. And then when electronic scene exploded in the Nineties, it was really like a lot of people joining a tribe with this very intuitive, organic tactile approach to music. And each time electronic music acts tried to express themselves from a performance point of view, they used projection, video screens, lights lasers, either on stage or in clubs. It's now become a real grammar for electronic music." 

Though he defined the technological and visual grammar for electronic music with his early albums and live performances, after the underrated and experimental "Zoolook" Jarre's musical output (1984), took a turn for the bland. He began recycling musical ideas from his earlier work for his large-scale spectacles that emphasised the visual at the expense of musical-his Houston and Lyons albums were little more than soundtracks for the eye. The late Nineties found him at a curious crossroads, with Jarre both the subject and sample source for club and rave acts - the remix album "An Odyssey Through O2" - and revisiting his own past with a sequel album, "Oxygene 7-13" with which he tried unsuccessfully to "complete" the original "Oxygene". 

"Metamorphoses" is therefore a new adventure for Jarre. "After having revisited the past with the previous album and not being too happy with it, I really wanted to open a new chapter by having a more sensual and organic approach to the electronic sounds, concentrating on the groove and the drumbeat, and involving vocals of my own and of other people, processed or not. "Metamorphoses" came from the idea of change, and the changes I wanted to express were coming from my own feelings. I wanted to express them and myself in a different way" 

While long recognised as a formative presence in the electronic music scene, Jarre is happy to acknowledge its influence on him on "Metamorphoses" - the Orbital dubbiness of "Bells" and the Underworldly "Hey Gagarin". Equally in its cross-pollination of musical styles and cultures, Jarre, notoriously against the "neo-colonialism of World Music", embraces the polyglotism of dance culture with its eclectic sampling, notably with Natacha Atlas on "C'est La Vie". On "Metamorphoses", Jarre reaffirms his stature as the eminence gris of electronic music while still retaining his maverick credentials - he once famously shocked the music world during its hysterical "Home Taping Kills Music" campaign by telling the public to pirate. 

"Sometimes people ask me if I have considered myself as having been an influence on some bands in the electronic scene. Frankly I think that all this talk of "godfathers of techno" and all that is marketing bullshit from record companies, because I have no claim on that. I think it is rather ridiculous. You do things on your own, and people can be influenced by what you are doing. People such as the Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Aphex Twin, Leftfield, Orbital and Air are all people who have been very influential on my music. I think that music is about sharing. People forget that music is about the sharing of emotions and feelings. Music is about recycling emotions and remixing ideas. If I have any legitimacy to do electronic music, I think it's because I have always done it. I wouldn't do a record if it was not with the ambition of trying to contribute to the electronic music scene by doing something personal or different." 

"Metamorphoses" is out now on Epic Records.>

Jarre released Métamorphoses, his first vocal album, in 2000. The entire album was mixed on an early version of Pro Tools, a digital audio workstation designed to record, edit and play back digital audio. The compositions and their arrangement on this techno-based album co-produced with Joachim Garraud marked a departure from Jarre's previous style. Sound effects used include radio interference from mobile phones (used on the track "Tout est Bleu"), and Macintalk, a Macintosh program used to generate lyrics on the track "Love, Love, Love". Laurie Anderson makes her second guest appearance in the Jarre discography (her first was on Zoolook on the track "Diva".
Other contributors include Natacha Atlas and Sharon Corr.

"Looking back, I enjoyed the album, [Oxygène 7 - 13] but after I finished it I knew that I had to make a fresh start. I had to go somewhere completely different. Metamorphoses is like a blank page for me, a new beginning"

Jean Michel Jarre une música electrónica e influencias orientales

Fernando Martin Madrid 4 FEB 2000

El compositor francés presentó ayer en Madrid su nuevo disco, 'Metamorphoses'

El compositor e intérprete francés Jean Michel Jarre pasó por España para promocionar su último disco, Metamorphoses. Jarre, de 55 años e hijo del afamado compositor Maurice Jarre, confesó en rueda de prensa que el nombre escogido para el disco "refleja la situación en la que me encontraba después de Oxygéne 7-13", último disco de temas nuevos en el que cerraba una larga etapa de experimentación.

"Después de mi anterior trabajo sentí deseos de cambiar, de metamorfosearme musicalmente en dos niveles: uno más orgánico, que tiene que ver con los ritmos y las percusiones, y otro más melódico", explicó Jean Michel Jarre ayer en Madrid.El resultado de esta mutación es un álbum en el que por primera vez incorpora voces, y para el que han colaborado, entre otras, la siempre vanguardista, Laurie Anderson y la vocalista del grupo Transglobal Underground, la egipcia Natasha Atlas.
Esta última interpreta el primer sencillo, C'est la vie, un largo tema de casi siete minutos en el que Atlas susurra la letra en medio de arreglos orientales y bases tremendamente comerciales.

Acerca de la cantante, Jarre afirmó: "Para mí es una intérprete que simboliza perfectamente la fusión entre los modernos conceptos musicales europeos y las raíces más profundas del continente africano".
Jarre comenzó su carrera al frente de grupos pop, para pasar después a componer para otros artistas, como Françoise Hardy, Pierre Boulez o Patrick Juvet. Sin embargo, se instituyó como gran embajador de la incipiente música electrónica cuando en 1977 editó Oxygéne, un elepé que dejaba traslucir las enormes posibilidades comerciales de unos sonidos y ritmos de alta tecnología.
Excéntricos

Jarre recuerda aquellos tiempos y los compara con los actuales: "Cuando empecé a hacer música electrónica, a la gente que nos dedicábamos a esto se nos tomaba por excéntricos. Ahora este tipo de música ha abierto caminos francamente interesantes y, aunque parece que todos llevan al dance, lo cierto es que hay multitud de estilos muy diferentes".

A esta voluntad experimental unió Jarre una tremenda megalomanía escénica, realizando grandiosos conciertos que asombraron por el despliegue de medios y efectos visuales y de sonido.

Algunos de los más recordados son los de la Place de la Concorde parisiense, consiguiendo un millón de espectadores que le hicieron ingresar en el Libro Guiness de los récords, o los celebrados en China. La pasada Nochevieja realizó otro mastodóntico ante las pirámides de Egipto, pero estuvo a punto de irse al traste por problemas climatológicos: "La idea de incluir antiguos ceremoniales egipcios fue del Gobierno de ese país. Yo no estaba muy de acuerdo, así que cuando tuvieron que cancelar esa parte del espectáculo por la niebla respiré aliviado".

No obstante, este tipo de conciertos sigue siendo para Jean Michel Jarre "el vehículo más apropiado para la difusión en vivo de mi música. Sin embargo, para este disco hice una presentación en un pequeño local de París, y la verdad es que quedé muy satisfecho. Puede que haga una pequeña gira en ese tipo de locales".

Otro dato a resaltar es la inclusión por primera vez en la portada de un disco suyo de una foto sin tocar del compositor. Para él "esto es otro aspecto de la metamorfosis que supuso este disco. Eso y la inclusión de más aspectos melódicos en mi música. Esto último es un camino en el que voy a profundizar en mis próximos trabajos".

Jean Michel Jarre gave his permission for the first time for a rendition of one of his songs, as he was impressed by Mando's vocal abilities when he listened to her demo tape. Mando's performance in "C'Est La Vie", first sung by Natasha Atlas, was liked so much that Jarre gave Mando not only his permission, but also his original arrangement of the song.

Lyrics:

Tout est bleu

Pas d'amélioration
Des nuages
Du mauvais temps en prévision
No signs of any clearance
before the end of next week
il y a du sable jaune dans le vent
Gale force winds are to be expected
at high altitudes
Cloudy
Mais tout est bleu
Dans tes yeux
Des nuages sont attendus
pour la fin de journée
Rain and hail storms
should be no surprise
late afternoon
Low temperatures
Chorus
Le soleil n'apparaitra
Pas du tout
Pas du tout
Pas du tout
Chorus

Jarre released Métamorphoses, his first vocal album, in 2000. The entire album was mixed on an early version of Pro Tools, a digital audio workstation designed to record, edit and play back digital audio. The compositions and their arrangement on this techno-based album co-produced with Joachim Garraud marked a departure from Jarre's previous style. Sound effects used include radio interference from mobile phones (used on the track "Tout est Bleu"), and Macintalk, a Macintosh program used to generate lyrics on the track "Love, Love, Love". Laurie Anderson makes her second guest appearance in the Jarre discography (her first was on Zoolook on the track "Diva".

Jean Michel Jarre - Miss Moon

Métamorphoses is an album by Jean Michel Jarre, released on Sony Music in 2000. It was released in the US on Disques Dreyfus in 2004. It is his tenth overall studio album.

This album was, to fans, a surprising break from his previous works, as it makes extensive use of vocal elements, as well as house and techno sounds. The vocal elements are not short, sampled pieces as highlighted in his album Zoolook, but longer, more integral parts of the work, and thus quite surprising for an artist known for his instrumental works. Métamorphoses is also Jarre's first album to contain actual songs with lyrics. Jarre's own voice is heard through a vocoder on many of the songs, but the album contains several other singers as well, mostly female singers. "Rendez-Vous à Paris" features Sharon Corr on violin. "Rendez-Vous à Paris" and "Bells" are the only largely instrumental tracks on the album; on the former only the track title is repeated in rhythm, the latter does not have intelligible lyrics. Although the album was generally not badly received by critics, and despite the collaborations and a number of single releases, Jarre did not achieve great mainstream success with this album.

Everybody says love love love
So I did it, so I did it
Encore, encore, encore
My cat has seven lives
My dog has seven wives
And I can see in your eyes
so many many lies

Lyrics:

"Je me souviens'

The voice,
The tree,
The boat,
The gate,
The flesh
The house,
The child,
The bell,
The sky
The blood,
The rock,
The snow,
The fish
