I'm reading a old chat with Jean-Michel and he says that he would like to work with Leftfield, Orbilat or Les Rythmes Digitales. He also mentions that he likes Saint Germaine and Chemical Brothers... :D

From Future Music February 2000:
"There has been a lot of great stuff released this year. The Orbital album [Middle Of Nowhere] is fantastic. I love them. We are trying to get them to remix one of the singles from this album [Metamorphoses]. And Underworld, of course. I know that Beacoup Fish didn't get maybe the best reviews, but I think it's far superior to Second Toughest In The Infants. OK, so it might not have any songs like Born Slippy on there, but who cares? This is their strongest album, I think, the one where we are beginning to see the true band.
"I have to mention the Chemicals [Brothers]. Another great album [Surrender]. And the singles have been amazing! Nobody can make the durms sounds so powerful. Well, maybe Aphex Twin! It would be great to work with Richard... I really admire his music. He is someone who doesn't care about trends, he just does what he wants to do. Then we have the new Leftfield album [Rhythm & Stealth]... Les Rythmes Digitales [Darkdancer]... the Micronauts... there is so much. Last year was a great year for electronic music.
"If I have been just the smallest influence on a band like Orbital or Underworld, then I am very honoured. To know that your music actually made a difference to someone's life is the biggest compliment that you can receive. I still listen to some classical and jazz music at home, but these are the bands that I want to listen to. These are the bands that I consider are part of my tribe."

@GJ: That's alright

When Jarre was talking abot Laurie Anderson in film about making "Metamorphoses" he said "she is probably my favourite American artist" or something similar, so I think he may listen to her music. He also wouldn't work with Natacha Atlas if he didn't like what she does, so... :)
I also remember some photos from Kraftwerk concert.

And what personally interests me, is if Jarre listens to...Jarre :D
I mean the way we do it...sitting at home and just putting CD in player.

Considering how much time he spent recording, performing, producing or promoting each peace of music, I think he must have had just enough of Jarre stuff. :wink:

Thats impossble to do,without being subjective and criticising it....

Jarre is the composer of the works not a listener its hard to step outside of the composer environment to become just a sheer listener of your own Music.there is far too much involvment into the elements that you can't "Just listen" any composer will tell you that

I would doubt that Jarre listens to his music in a Normal context other than when hes trying to cast a perspetive of different situations/Setups.

I try and avoid listening to my own music,outside of the studio,when you work on something for months on end,its hard to listen to it optimisitcally and enjoy it in normal listening situations

I'm sure he appreciates his musics qualities,but I just can't picture Jarre sitting there chilling to his own tracks!!

Now and again listening to your own stuff is acceptible,but any artist needs to absorb other material or you run the risk of becoming immersed in a self perpetuating bubble and lose any direction on Musical inspiration


In the same way,I know artists who try and AVOID any music in day to day life unless there recording,which when your a musician is pretty damn hard to do even outside of the studio,as you live,breath, eat Music,in this day and age its pretty hard to isolate yourself from Music.

I think he once said in an interview he liked to play his own tunes on his iPod whilst travelling or having a walk... :)

I think all good musicians do it, especially those like Jarre. They need to see what situations their pieces work in well. This can be very interesting. I listen to my own work quite a lot.
I'd expect Jarre to listen to his older work (pre-Oxygene) often. Think about when he sampled Les Granges Brulees in Chronologie, and the performance of AOR Bleu at Bourges.
