When somebody makes music since 40 years, it must be refreshing and inspiring to use completely different instruments like software. I say this although I prefer hardware for making music. It's a win-win-situation for all, JMJ promotes his new album on an Native Instruments channel!! Always interesting when big musicians talk about instruments and production.

@emblemcc 8 лет назад

"Break you habits to keep fresh" nice to hear there is someone like J.M Jarre who does not stuck with synths and goes beyond.

This year it is 40 years since I first heard his music. He will be with me to the day I die.

Mad respect for JMJ! Listened to music from him about 10 years ago and recently re-introduced to him thanks to this video. Good job NI. True master.

@helisoma Год назад

in years from now or even decades this will be considered a historic interview....just wonderful!

@wa1no137 8 лет назад

Regardless of if you actually listen to JMJ, this man is a true pioneer of music, his career spans major evolutions in sound and he remained open and embraced it all. He speaks comfortably with a weight of experience over his shoulders, salute.

@aandarcom 8 лет назад

Even though this video is clearly a commercial for NI, i still believe Mr. Jarre when he says he prefers Monark to his Voyager. I only have about 11 years of experience in this field, but with some of my software (freeware too) i can emulate and even surpass some of the most famous old hardware. And the vintage hardware can be a real pain to work with... that pain can sometimes overshadow the pleasure of touching and moving real knobs and faders, looking at the beautiful wooden panels etc... :D

@timothybaxter7392 6 лет назад

I've read several times. (I can't claim it as I have no musical skill) that true genius is making great music from imperfect intruments. Surely then the harder the instrument the more perfectly honed the musician. :)

@RafaelTenor 3 года назад

Dear Jarre. Electronic music owes you everything. Thanks and congratulations. Congratulations also to NI for your work.Immeasurable.

@MarkTDKKnight 8 лет назад

Legend! I owe so much of what I've done in my life to him. Great interview!

@styrbjornulfhamr9404 8 лет назад

Wonderful interview! Thanks Jean Michel and NI!! It is really great to hear the thoughts behind my favorite musician (since discovering JMJ in 1980). I could listen to him talk for hours. His endorsement of NI products seems very genuine, and not the shallow words of a paid spokesman. That resonates with me, and I will certainly look into NI products in the near future. It is also reassuring to hear Jean Michel's workflow has evolved toward using computers, as that has been the same path that I have found myself on with my music. My old hardware (not as old as his) is there to use when needed, but I am not limited by old recording and composition methods. Sometimes hearing little bits like this from your musical idol is a really big thing. Thanks again!

Wonderful to view and listen to Jean-Michel Jarre through the evolution of electronic music technology and Native Instruments. I downloaded Electronica 1: Deluxe Edition from iTunes this morning and love the sounds. I recall listening to Oxygene when I was young boy in the basement of my family home. I fell in love with synthesizers because of that unique soundscape and imagination that Jean-Michel Jarre captured with such expression. Great video! Take care.

@thejollyjoker187 Год назад

What I value most in this video is: "The Jupiter-8, the MemoryMoog and the Elka Synthex". If you have these 3 synths, you have everything, really..

5:23 "as a musician I prefer working on the [NI] Monark than on the [Moog] Voyager, these days" Epic!

@marike1100 8 лет назад

+Pedro Macedo Camacho I don't know one musician who would prefer a copy of Monark over a Voyager, except for Jarre whose comments are clearly part of his promotional duties.

@Kidraver555 8 лет назад

Markus Arike He can route the Monark signal through a few hardware effects boxes and get all the analog he wants, software allows editing that goes way beyond hardware, I would rather the monark for many reasons, no cables, no space requirements, NI do not pay artists, artists pay NI rightly deserved accolades for giving them the best in the world.

@marike1100 8 лет назад

Kidraver Route the Monark. Lol. It's not analog if the oscillators are not analog, but good try. :-) In terms of sound quality, forget it, the Voyager wins easily. The "convenience working a DAW" argument is an extremely narrow point of view. The Moog Voyager blows Monark out of the water in the same way a Steinway Grand Piano absolutely trounces samples played on a controller. Sorry.

@savageparasyte76 8 лет назад

+Kidraver I prefer using analog for certain things, but most of my digital is native instruments or omnisphere. They cover a good range of things, and you can do without them, but that said analog does have its own characteristics just as digital has its own characteristics.

@dionysiaex5538 8 лет назад

+Markus Arike He doesn't work for NI. Clearly they contacted him because he's a fan of it.

@MacXpert74 8 лет назад

Nice interview with the legend Jean Michel Jarre. One little thing surprised me, when he talked about what gear he used. He said that the Roland Jupiter 8 was the first polyphonic synthesizer that he used. That must be a little slip-up on Jarre's side. I'm quite sure he already used the Oberheim OB-X before using the JP-8. He used the OB-X on Magnetic Fields (1981). That album was recorded just before or around the time that the JP-8 was released. And didn't Jarre also use the Oberheim 4 or 8-voice and Yamaha CS 60 on Equinox? (1978) Of course it must be hard to keep track of all that stuff if you've used as many synths as he has. :)

The old master and his wisdom right here

@fpham8004 8 лет назад

The legend, the pioneer, the master. I am still listening to his old 80's stuff. Not so much of the new Jarre as he seems to replace his earlier melodics with "sounds", however I like to use Theo & Thea "Fresh news" to test speakers and amps. I did listen to the new album and it is a great variety of EM but pulling strings in every direction without much coherence as a whole. I would love to listen to a whole album of Tangerine Dreams with JMJ, not just 6 min soundscape then interrupted by something else.

@dum432 Год назад

*Great video. Amazing. Congratulations.*

@Stadtmuzik 8 лет назад

I really do love my Kawai K4!... It's an old 16bit Synth - but using it in projects nowadays? It's a hassle - as to record the generated sounds without any bigger noise is impossible without the right (expansive) equipment, so if I am using it, then actually as a midi keyboard.... And as JMJ actually said: VSTs are growing better, or at least different than hardware these days. They even give you possibilities you didn't have back in the day. It's really refreshing to hear one of the most influencal synth-users to talk about this topic in the way he did.

@Spidouz 8 лет назад

Never been a complete fan of JMJ (I like some of this songs/albums... mainly Oxygen and Revolution but that's it), but I have to admit, he has a perfect view on technologies and evolution of technologies for music (for electronic music in his case, but also for any kind of music these days).

@raggeragnar 5 лет назад

I’ve been a fan of JMJ since I heard Oxygen the 1st time back in 79 or 80 perhaps. I couldn’t believe how good E1 and E2 was , and thought that this must be his masterpiece in 2 parts. Then , yesterday , I got Equinox Infinity delievered. OH ! MY ! F#€£ING ! GOD !

Back in the 80's when i was in my teens my Dad had a Jupiter 8, Juno 6, SH101, and a TB303..Years later he sold them for next to nothing..By the early 90's they were almost worthless..then near the end of the decade prices exploded for them

@-GA-MancsFinest Год назад

JMJ ,a true legend ,lots of us older folk who used say a atari st for cubase 3 and a akai s950 sampler for the 90s era are in the same boat ,tech has come a long way now you dont need a super high end synth or sampler it can all be done on one machine ,with vsts,samples,soundbanks ,currently using ableton 11 on pc ,i miss the older gear and big automated desks ,but once you get your head around the newer ways ,theres no comparison ,i still have my st and a roland s760 32mb sampler cost me 2700 in 90's wanted to start using it again but you end up moving along with the tech i guess,,i wont even sell it ,its more for nostalga....

@FrancisMaxino 6 лет назад

I started playing synthesizors in the early eighties, by then everything was going digital and I learnt to modify using ASDR and filters, envelopes, oscillators, much later and even then it was with software synthesizors like the EXS24...JMJ has always been a great influence on me and it is surprising how many young electronic DJs and producers have no idea who he is !!! God forbid...it is frustrating sometimes when you talk to people whose tastes and understanding of 'electronic' music starts in the 21st centtury and they don't know about the previous thirty years of it's evolution...particularly the early nineties rave and dance music explosion...

@tensevo 6 лет назад

Fascinating to hear how he embraces the new synths like Massive, whilst still having love for the old tech. Many older gen musicians look at early synths with rose tinted specs and reject the new stuff on principle.

@GeorgNagle 8 лет назад

time goes on, technik evolves and with it does music. we should expect the next revolution in music soon.

@siliconbrush 8 лет назад

Native instruments needs to create a synth like the VCS3 I say like because I have to agree with Jean Michel, we can go so much further into unexplored territories with software design instead of trying to sound like legacy hardware. So lets take best parts of past and create a incredible sounding digital future and get the best of both worlds, that is what evolution is all about. Happiest software purchase I ever made = Native Instruments.
