Jean Michel Jarre et l'espace
:: Article rédigé par Jeanbatman ::
Pour qualifier un artiste, l’expression « la tête dans les étoiles » est particulièrement adéquate. Dans le cas du musicien Jean Michel Jarre, elle l’est à plusieurs titres. Non seulement son esprit créatif semble parfois l’entrainer dans des univers parallèles (ce qui n’exclue pas quelques trous noirs), mais en plus sa musique est, pour des raisons récurrentes, en lien avec le monde de l’astronomie. Les rendez-vous multiples avec l’espace qu’a pris la carrière du musicien, que ce soit par les intitulés de ces morceaux, de ses concerts ou des illustrations de ses spectacles aux quatre coins de la planète, en sont autant de preuves. Nous allons essayer ensemble de reprendre le fil de toutes ces rencontres, ainsi que des projets avortés.
En
parlant d’Oxygène, Jean Michel Jarre considère que c’est une musique
plus en lien avec la biosphère que la stratosphère. N’en
reste pas moins que pour un album séminal de tout le reste de sa
carrière, le choix de la planète bleue va imprégner durablement son
image d’explorateur du dessous des choses et peut-être
de quelques secrets de l’univers, qu’en tant que créateur, il
cherche quelque part lui aussi.
Quand la NASA contacte Jean Michel pour fêter de manière grandiose les 25 ans de l’organisme américain, Jean Michel se souvient
sans doute qu’il était derrière son poste de radio en guettant la diffusion des premiers pas de l’homme sur la lune.
Le souhait du lyonnais est de célébrer en chœur musique, science et technique, avec les technologies les plus
avancées. Ainsi, la foi en la science et les aspects les plus avant-gardistes de la musique forment un tout harmonieux.
C’est
ainsi qu’il décide l’astronaute Ron Mc Nair, qui est saxophoniste
amateur, de jouer de son instrument depuis
l’espace pensant le concert, ce qui sera le premier solo de
saxophone en apesanteur de l’histoire. Malheureusement, avec l’explosion
au décollage de la navette Challenger le 28 janvier 1986 et la
mort de ses 7 occupants, cette belle histoire ne verra jamais le
jour. Le morceau Dernier rendez-vous deviendra « Ron’s piece » en
hommage à l’astronaute disparu.
En 2008, à l’occasion de l’année internationale de l’astronomie, Jean Michel prononce un long discours dans l’enceinte de
l’UNESCO qui témoigne de sa passion pour le sujet. Le musicien déplore notamment que les jeunes générations soient désintéressées de la science du cosmos et plus
généralement de la science astrophysique.
Le livre d’Arthur C. Clarke qui deviendra le long-métrage « 2001,
l’odyssée de l’espace » de Stanley Kubrick est un de ses films cultes.
Il explique que l’on trouvait dans ce type d’œuvre une vision dynamique
et jubilatoire de l’avenir,
qui n’existe plus aujourd’hui, tant les menaces qui pèsent sur
l’espèce humaine les lui ont progressivement cachées. Les
progrès de la science ont été en quelques
sorte recouverts par les peurs de l’avenir : Changement climatique,
permanence d’un certains nombre d’occultismes et de catastrophismes…
Les
concerts de Jean Michel Jarre ont été à de nombreuses reprises
l’occasion de rappeler la fascination de celui-ci pour la
conquête spatiale. L’exemple le plus singulier est sans doute le
concert géant de Moscou en 1997. Au cours de cette célébration des 850
ans de la capitale de la Russie, Jarre fait profiter à une
foule immense (3 millions de personnes) une liaison audiovisuelle
avec les deux occupants de la Station Mir. Ils expliquent que la musique
de Jean Michel est un peu la leur, c'est-à-dire – en
anglais dans le texte – la « space music ».
Quelques années plus tard, Jean Michel mettra en lumière le héros originel de la conquête spatiale,
Yuri Gagarine, sur son album Métamorphoses de 2000. Cette chanson exalte les sentiments particuliers que procurent l’état d’apesanteur. Dans lerefrain, on
entend : « I can fly like a Sputnik ».
Mais ce n’est que lors du concert du 1er janvier 2001 que Jarre théorise réellement sa vision, formulée par son ami Arthur C. Clarke, de la course dans l’espace, la découverte
d’intelligence hors du système solaire, etc.
Sur un écran géant, Arthur C. Clarke, philosophe face caméra à la
faveur d’interludes entre deux morceaux aux titres évocateurs, comme « The Voyage », « Children of space », « Rendez-vous in Space » et « race in space »
Sciences
En dédicace de l’album Chonologie (1993), Jean Michel remercie
l’astrophysicien américain Stephen Hawking pour sa « Brève histoire
du temps », best-seller mondial qui s’emploie à vulgariser certaines
théories de l’astrophysique contemporaine, comme
la courbure de l’espace temps par exemple.
C’est la première fois que Jarre cite de manière si explicite un livre dans ses remerciements, lui qui ne se cache pas d’être un
grand amateur de livres, en plus de l’art en général.
Chronologie est riche de signe des temps : le bourdonnements d’abeilles
de la partie 7 (avec Patrick Rondat) est plus qu’un effet, la mise en
scène d’une supra-intelligence sous la forme d’une colonie d’insecte qui
interroge non seulement
l’organisation humaine, mais aussi son devenir. Einstein n’a-t’il pas prophétisé : « Le jour où la dernière abeille aura disparu, l’humanité n’aura que quinze jours à vivre. » ?
En 1991, Jean Michel est incité par le gouvernement
mexicain pour créer un concert spécial afind e célébrer une éclipse
totale de soleil. Malheureusement, ce concert ne verra pas le jour pour des raisons financières, comme c’est souvent le cas.
En 2009, un projet de concert au pied du plus grand télescope d’Europe, dans les iles Canaries,
est malencontreusement annulé (nous sommes en pleine tempête finacière). Jean Michel
devait y faire partager au plus grand nombre les
fantastiques avancées de l’étude des galaxies avec l’équipement le plus
perfectionné du
monde, à savoir le VLT (Very large telescope). Avec son ami
guitariste Brian May, qui est docteur en astrophysique, ce projet lui
tenait pourtant beaucoup à cœur. Ce n’est que partie
remise…
Jean Michel prête un peu de son temps et un peu de ses musiques
(Ethnicolor, oxygène, Equinoxe) pour promouvoir le travail de l’Observatoire de
Paris, dans le cadre de la Nuit Blanche.
La communauté scientifique n’est pas indifférente à l’univers de Jean Michel jarre,puisqu’un objet
céleste est baptisé en hommage
à ce dernier (ainsi qu’à son père Maurice Jarre). Jean Michel
confiera d’ailleurs en 2010 sur l’onde de Radio Nostalgie que cet objet
céleste, dont il a vu quelques photos, qu’il regrette que ce caillou (objet 4422) soit moins beau que celui du rockeur Frank Zappa.

Jean Michel Jarre - Forum d'Avignon 2013
"Culture & Power"
Theme of the 2013 Think Tank of the Forum of Avignon,
to fuel discussion at the international meetings from November 21 to 23, 2013
No Politics without Culture!
The program of the 2013 Forum d'Avignon in preview
Lawrence Lessig --Harvard Law Professor (USA) --has been an advocate for an internet that liberates culture through "creative commons". Lessig emphasizes the value for universal access to culture. If Internet remains a vehicle for freedom as exhibited by the Arab Spring, Lessig also notes de difficulty in the short term to define its impact on democracy. He uses the American example in which politicians use up to 70% of their time searching for funding in their internet campaign. Internet has taken precedents on interpersonal communication; that being said, in order to be heard one must radicalize one's opinions, often leading to excessive opinions. This explains, for example, the Tea Party's success and the subsequent paralysis of American politics. Can Internet save us? The answer is not evident in the short term given the negative side effects of extremist attitudes on democracies. We might have to rely on a new generation to extricate ourselves from this stifling position.
Jean-Michel Jarre, author and composer, President of CISAC. Jarre recognizes that with regard to intellectual property, artist weren't unable to send a clear message to the public. IP is not only a means of insuring the economic sustainability of creation. A new relationship between contents and containers, software and hardware, must be reinvented. The antagonisms between creative commons and intellectual property might be erased with the establishment of a common platform allowing funding for creators and the diffusion of amateurs' work. The freedom of the latter does not impede on the liberty of the former. We must update the system established in the xviiith century to adapt to contemporary conditions of production and diffusion. We must not stigmatize Internet. Artist have always known how to use this new technologies. Jarre even goes so far as to propose an 'eternal copyright' system that would nourish a fund for creation in emerging countries.
Paul Mashatile, minister of South Africa, reminds us that culture has an essential role in the development of numerous countries. In the case of South Africa, culture facilitates reconciliation and the construction of a nation. Culture must also bring nations together. This is what South Africa names OBOUTU: I exist because you exist, allow me to extend my hand to the other, to accept the difference. Culture is the bridge between men.
Yonfan, film director (China), through the destiny of two female artists --the German filmmaker Leni Riefensthahl and the Chinese actress Yushi Yamagichi (Yoshigo Otaka) --questions how art can influence our lives in some unconscious ways. The star system creates representations that inhabit ourselves for better or for worse.
Bernard Landry (former Prime Minister, University of Quebec and Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal Professor), notes that anti-globalization manifestations, replaced nowadays by alter-globalist ones, show us a different vision of the world. The real danger of globalization is the homogenization that would be a huge step backward. The first value of a country is not its economy but its culture that sacrifices the materialist obsessions in order to admire the reality's beauty. Proposed by Canada, the cultural exception that refuses to see culture as a mere merchandise, remains to be defended; the idea is in the works but must be constantly nourished.
There were many echoes in the room: "defending the cultural exception is not out of date" (Laure Darcos). We should not forget that in many countries some religious powers twist the words to impose a religious culture. In Tunisia, creators and women will avoid democratic regressions. Although, money that a worldwide crowd funding may bring, are needed.

Interview of Danièle Feuillerat (ex-Disques Dreyfus), 2013
In January 2013 DISQUES DREYFUS, veteran and legendary French label founded on the effort and artistic flair of its promoter FRANCIS DREYFUS (1940-2010), ceased to exist as an independent entity and was going to be part of the giant BMG. Inevitably the future of plump nude woman illustrating the characteristic company logo appears indistinct and its extensive catalog of recordings artists, among them names like CHRISTOPHE, FRANÇOIS DE ROUBAIX, BLUE VAMP, BAHAMAS or JEAN MICHEL JARRE , abandoned the possibility of a hypothetical republication or forgotten, in the worst case.
With the death of Francis Dreyfus, producer in mid-2010 because of cancer, few people can relate with great detail and based on comprehensive information that was “the adventure Motors”, the seed of FRANCIS DREYFUS MUSIC and its label DREYFUS JAZZ, the rise and demise of the company that allowed JEAN MICHEL JARRE to be a star. One of those few people is Danièle Feuillerat, for more than 30 years publishing director of FRANCIS DREYFUS MUSIC (FDM), plus production assistant in shows like ” Rendez -Vous Houston” or the intriguing concert tour in China 1981. She met a young JARRE as a lyricist, he witnessed his departure from the maison after publication ” Metamorphoses ” and return to ” Essentials & Rarities”.
Daniele has agreed to collaborate closely with FAIRLIGHT JARRE with a project that began more than a year ago, lending itself to review carefully the history of JEAN MICHEL JARRE and DISQUES DREYFUS, that is, in a sense, our own story.
Part I Interview with Daniel Feuillerat
Part II PLACE DE LA CONCORDE
Part III RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWN
For all JARRE’s fans,
and for lovers of music in general, the announce of the purchase
of DISQUES DREYFUS by BMG Group was a hard impact. DREYFUS label means
the success of a romantic project that grew to become a global reference
thanks to the richness of its catalog and its great work in the world
of jazz. When did you know the intention of selling DISQUES DREYFUS?
What was the reason for the sale?
When Francis died his wife, Hélène, was
named new President and she decided to keep the company running for a
little while. Early 2011, the shareholders decided to sell the company
in order to pay the inheritance taxes (very high in France). We almost
made a deal with Universal by the end of 2011 but they had to withdraw
their offer because of the Virgin-Capitol-Emi purchase. The second best
offer was that of BMG Rights. The sale was finally concluded on May 25,
2012.
Did FRANCIS DREYFUS ever intend to sell the record label?
Maybe 4 or 5 years before he died,
Francis had mentioned several times that in the future he might decide
to sell the label and keep the publishing. But in fact it was always
postponed to later days.
Thanks very much again to
Daniéle for her involvement in this interview that lasted three months
of work. She is answering more questions on the coments below the
spanish version of the interview. Click here to make some questions to her.

Electronic maestro keen to tackle "final frontier"

| Electronic maestro Jean Michel Jarre keen to tackle 'final frontier'. |
His outdoor lighting and sound extravaganzas have attracted audiences of millions.
When he performed for Prince Albert of Monaco's wedding last year, 3.5 billion people watched on television and the internet.
But Jean Michel Jarre, the famed French composer, performer and music producer, says Perth is his "final frontier".
"I've been a big fan of Australia for a long time," he said yesterday during a whirlwind visit to Perth.
"I fell in love with the place, the environment. It's extraordinary. But the community also, it's very nice and warm people. I said to myself we should really promote this place to the world."
Introduced to Perth by Maryanne Bell, a local entrepreneur and founder of ITM Productions, the 63-year-old pioneer of electronic music is working to bring his big outdoor concert to Perth in March after an initial November date was ruled too ambitious.
With the concert billed to rival the Australia Day Skyworks, Jarre said he also wanted to leave a legacy, including through the global TV audience his concert would attract.
A painter and a keen collector of Aboriginal art, he envisaged it would be a key visual element of the show. And the long-time UNESCO ambassador said he also wanted to incorporate schoolchildren's artwork in the graphics.
"As an outsider and a friend of Australia and a big admirer of Western Australia, I think it's time to put this part of the world . . . on the map," he said.
"There is huge excitement worldwide already about the project."

The Perth concert would be his first in Australia. Jarre's 1976 album Oxygene featured in the 1981 Australian film Gallipoli.
He also spent a month at Uluru in the 1980s while promoting the album Zoolook, which was influenced by Aboriginal music.
In a week spent working Perth corporate and government circles to shore up backing for the March event, Jarre said he was also excited about his new role, announced yesterday, as one of two new international ambassadors for the Perth Fashion Festival.

Jean Michel Jarre in Midem Talks in February 2014
JEAN MICHEL JARRE
JOINS KEY MUSIC INDUSTRY PLAYERS AT MIDEM
CISAC PRESIDENT AND ELECTRO PIONEER
TO OUTLINE PATH TO GROWTH
JOINS KEY MUSIC INDUSTRY PLAYERS AT MIDEM
CISAC PRESIDENT AND ELECTRO PIONEER
TO OUTLINE PATH TO GROWTH
Paris, Tuesday 19 November 2013 – Jean Michel Jarre
will top-line Midem Talks 2014, joining key music industry players as
they tackle this year’s main theme: “Back to Growth? Make it
Sustainable!”
A pioneer of electronic music, Jarre has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide in a career spanning four decades, and has staged many superlative live performances against iconic backdrops such as the Eiffel Tower and the pyramids of Egypt. He recently took over as President of the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC), the leading worldwide network of authors’ royalty collection societies.
Entitled “Fair Share for Creators,” Jarre’s interview is scheduled for Monday 3 February. He will tell the Midem audience how he believes a sustainable future for music in the digital eco-system cannot be achieved without ensuring fair remuneration for all stakeholders, especially creators, and why the latter need to mobilise if they want to benefit from the growth of the digital economy.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Jean Michel Jarre as part of our stellar line-up of keynote speakers at Midem. We’re living at the tipping-point of a new growth era for music. Let’s embrace optimism and work together to ensure our industry's recovery expands to every market, from emerging ones to more mature economies,” said Bruno Crolot, Director of Midem. “Midem is here to support the industry and to help make growth sustainable by providing a complete toolkit for success.”
Figures — soon to be released by the CISAC at its press conference at Midem 2014 — show an increase in growth for global collections of author's royalties in music in 2012, compared to the prior year period. In addition, recent figures from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) showed the first year of growth after over a decade of steep decline. All these figures suggest that the music business is on the road to recovery, with digital download sales and streaming subscriptions growing rapidly.
To explore what these green shoots mean for the industry, the line-up of Midem speakers includes Seymour Stein, VP of Warner Bros. Records and co-founder of Sire Records, a legendary music executive who signed acts such as The Ramones, Talking Heads and Madonna. Stein will host a special session during which he’ll share how he built a successful music company by making the right, and often hard, decisions while forging a unique business acumen.
The indie sector will also join Midem 2014, with Alison Wenham, Chairman/CEO of the Association of Independent Music & Chair of the Worldwide Independent Network (UK), who will outline what labels are doing to get back to growth. Ronny Krieger, Label Manager, Monkeytown Records (Germany), and Alain Verhave, Director of Marketing, Epitaph Records (Netherlands) will discuss how indie labels are reinventing fan engagement.
As part of the conference programme, Midem will welcome Geoff Taylor, Chief Executive of the British Phonographic Industry and the BRIT Awards (UK), and Jordan Berliant, Partner & Head of Music Management, The Collective Music Group (USA), in a session about the best practices for online video success and how YouTube became the leading platform to consume, discover and share music. Stephen Bryan, SVP, Digital Business Development, Warner Music Group (USA), and Mandar Thakur, COO, Times Music (India), will also take part in a discussion about the challenges of streaming music today. The Next Big Thing in Licensing will be debated by speakers such as Mary Megan Peer, President, Asia Pacific & Strategic Markets, peermusic (USA), and Florian Drücke, Managing Director, BVMI/IFPI (Germany). Lastly, Pete Ganbarg, EVP/Head of A&R, Atlantic Records (USA), and Steven Melrose, Co-Managing Director, Epic Records (UK), will engage in a discussion on how to build an artist’s career from discovery to success.
Midem will welcome representatives from all the leading international professional music associations, including publishers (ICMP), authors’ societies (CISAC), lawyers (IAEL), indies (IMPALA/WIN) and managers (IMMF), who will rub shoulders with major labels (Sony Music, Universal Music and Warner Music) and indie labels (Beggars, PIAS, Domino, Ministry of Sound, Mute, Epitaph), publishers (Warner Chappell, peermusic, Budde Music, Sony ATV, Sugar Music), managers (Golden Gate Management, Reverb Music, Reservoir Media Management, 1968 Media, CEMA, Promogroup BV), authors’ societies (BUMA/STEMRA, SABAM, SACEM, BMI, PRS, GEMA) and live promoters (Manchester Light & Stage Co LTD, Live Nation, IKON, Global Gumbo Group, Jazzahead!).

JARRE AeroSkull XS Rose
"La plus belle des mini enceintes Bluetooth APT-X + NFC"
L’enceinte sans-fil Jarre Aeroskull XS est unique en son genre : aucune enceinte de cette taille ne dispose d’un look aussi dévastateur, tout en proposant les meilleures technologies actuellement disponibles. En effet, son design « tête de mort » renferme en fait un système de 3 haut-parleurs alimenté par une amplification totalisant 18 Watts. Tout cela, dans une petite enceinte de seulement 170 mm de diamètre ! Compatible avec tous les smartphones grâce à sa technologie Bluetooth, l’enceinte Aeroskull XS est également dotée d’une certification NFC (appairage simplifié par simple contact), et de la prise en charge de codec APT-X (streaming en qualité proche du CD). Une vraie petite bombe !
"Micro intégré, entrée Mini-jack et dragonne de transport"
Cobra a aimé : la taille compacte, et la qualité sonore plutôt étonnante !
