Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Thank you very much, @Finaero, glad that you liked it! Edit: thanks also for the inclusion on your Spotify playlist, if that is you, hehe

So good, congrats for your work! Did you use the Mini V for the main bass sequence?

Very happy to "re-discover" the forum, finally got my access to work again. Just yesterday I found some really interesting interviews about Zoolook here, it reminded me how much I miss this. Well, I'm also glad to share this song from my latest album (released this December), a sort of a disco ...

Hello guys and gals,

Here is one more "dance" jam in the studio with the Korg MS-20 Mini (Bass) and the Roland MC-303 (the main MIDI brain+drums).
Additional instruments for pads : Microkorg, Volca Keys.
Fx: Zoom RFX2000. Korg Mini Kaoss Pad
It's recorded in one take on a Yamaha tape deck and ...

For the acoustic and electric-guitar solo's I used Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2.

Ah, I thought I spotted the awesome Omnisphere choir towards the end of the song. Very effective use, by the way. Keep up the good work!

Oh, I didn't realise that there was a whole thread dedicated to this. I can't wait to see how the final album will sound (some submission sound really impressive)! In the meantime, here is my contribution :

Good luck, everyone!

UPDATE ...

Wow, what a great post, I didn't know that you could do acoustic sounding music with a tracker. There is something very satisfying in those 4 track compositions. I have been a fan of this type of thing since I was a kid, playing Pinbal Fantasies...Check out the amazing soundtrack by Olof Gustafsson ...

Hello fellow Jarre heads,

UPDATE : the track is one of the ...

Very nice imagery/cinematography! Personally I think Rotterdam is one of the worst places to be in Holland, but then again I am Dutch. We should keep in touch, I like your camera-work!

Thank you Armandox! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video, together with the almost robotic music I tried to evoke ...

Hello people,

Anybody visited Rotterdam lately? If you've been thinking about it, just do it, it's a breathtaking city ! Anyways, here is a music video inspired by my latest visit :

Rotterdam : The Rise

Enjoy the trip and let me know what you think, music or video wise

Thank you, Finaero ! That is indeed the main interest. This sequence progress makes me think of an UFO opening up, slowly, but surely

Hello,

I totally forgot that I could have shared this one with you guys and gals !

This is one of my more "alieny" songs, set to NASA space pics.

"They take a journey through the Universe from the deepest space passing through colliding galaxies and arriving in our Solar System. They leave ...

Thanks for sharing ! Beautiful track, it has the grandeur of Vangelis infused with Jarre rythms... Interesting chords and very effective on the whole

Oh yeah, Conquistador is definetely more Jarresque. I like the dark vibe, it reminds me of this extract from the Depeche Mode album (Construction Time Again) :

What an awesome thread ! Here are my chill moments :

Oxygene 1 - the aforementioned majestic bass section

Equinoxe 2 - the second part with the solo and those "crow effects" behind it

Equinoxe 7 - the bass intro sequence blows my mind every time

Magnetic Fields 2 - Images version - pretty much ...
