Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

This is nothing short of amazing, Jarre's really back into the massive show again. Anyone getting any Houston vibes off this?

Cool! I listened to Play today for the first time in years and remembered how good it is.

Hahahah this had me in tears Wednesday night, I'm so glad they're back doing Shooting Stars

Certainly not, Oxygene 7-13 is a masterpiece IMO. Metamorphoses is also brilliant but I'm not sure how much of that is a solo work.

Could be something like extra feedback. Just wire in that second potentiometer and maybe a resistor to dampen it across the input and the output and you've got yourself a crude feedback control.

It's most probably just phonemes or meaningless words as above. JMJ was probaby just using the vocoder almost as a vowel filter.

Either it's midified or controlled by CV/Gate (hell of a job, with 20? different sounds). Another possibility is that it's sampled.
You could simply solder in a clock input where the clock generator is connected to the sequencer within the drum machine. That would mean one clock input (from ...

Exept for sounds from the crowd of course.

The mics indeed would be used to pick up the crowd's applause and maybe the sound of the hall (albeit low in the final mixdown).

This seemed to be the case in Birmingham, but has anyone else noticed mics put up around the stage? Mics as in proper professional venue (I would presume condenser) recording mics, not vocal dynamic mics. There were at least four present at the Birmingham NIA gig.... Jarre talks of a tour DVD/CD in ...

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of the RAH Oxygene gig last year, Aero and Electronic Night, I'm very very tempted to say that's the best JMJ gig I've ever been to.

Equinoxe 7!

Equinoxe 5!

Magnetic Fields 1! OLD STYLE!

LIGHTS. HOLY S**T THE LIGHTS WERE AWESOME. Talking to my friend apparently most of ...

YES!

-the most minor promo ever. and this is not joke! :D

well. JMJ is famous for his cool concerts; Aero Prod is famous for being the most lame management ever :D :lol:
I dunno... the UK dates have been regularly advertised in at least the paper we read (The Daily Mail). Not like a tiny little text ...

Many thanks to Nico for linking this on Facebook and everyone else involved, this is one of the funniest interviews I've ever seen him do lmao!!!

the film has been directly transferred from an Australian TV broadcast!

The menus are quite nice - the film has been split into three parts (chapters): The Setup / Beijing, Equinoxe 5, and Shanghai. I'm not sure why the tracks weren't used as chapter points.

:idea: That explains it then - The ...

Radek - a crude way of getting LEDs for each sound is just to connect one to each of the individual out jacks. You'll probably need a resistor to stop the LED from blowing but that's common electronics which I'm sure you know about.
