History
Jean-Michel Jarre works at a scale most electronic music never attempts: long instrumental suites built from sequencers, string machines and analogue synthesisers, written to fill a horizon rather than a dance floor. Oxygene was assembled in a small home studio in Paris in the mid 1970s and became one of the records that proved synthesiser music could reach a mass audience with no lyrics at all. Equinoxe followed the same logic, trading the misty drift of the earlier record for tighter rhythmic patterns and a sharper sense of motion, while Rendez-vous brought in fanfare-like lead lines and a widescreen, almost cinematic weight. The other half of his reputation is the concerts. He turned city centres into venues, projecting images onto tower blocks, hanging lasers above crowds counted in the hundreds of thousands, including the show he played in Moscow, and treating the skyline as part of the arrangement. What a listener recognises is a patient melodic hook on a lead synth over a rippling arpeggio, with a great deal of open air around it.
