More about Jean-Michel Jarre

Jarre is one of the core French electronic figures, with official releases including 'Oxygène', 'Équinoxe', 'Chronologie', 'Oxymore' and 'Sessions 2000'. His official site and ADE text frame him as a composer and performer still tied to live spectacle, tech and the future-facing side of the field.
