Jean-Michel Jarre: "We were dreamers"
He celebrated his 70th birthday at the end of August and will soon release a new album dedicated to artificial intelligence. But for the first time, the French pioneer of electronic music celebrates half a century of his unique work on the compilation "Planet Jarre - 50 Years of Music".
When we call Jean-Michel Jarre, he is in his hotel room in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. An unusual place? For everyone else, for Jarre, the journey is routine. "As a special ambassador for UNESCO, I am specifically involved in a foundation for the education of youth," he explains. And he is impressed. "The entire country is currently changing at a fast pace. I think that's wonderful. This reminds me of the leaps in development of Tokyo in the 1980s or Shanghai at the beginning of this millennium. Everything moves at a mega-speed into the 21st century.
