Jean-Michel Jarre announces new Oxymoreworks collaboration album

Jean-Michel Jarre teams up with Brian Eno, Martin Gore and more on new collaboration album Oxymoreworks out in November

“Oxymore held a special place in my heart, as it embarked on a truly unique sonic journey," says Jarre. "With the profound joy of collaborating with fellow artists, much like my previous venture, Electronica, I aimed to foster a fresh perspective on my music. I extended my hand to musicians whose distinct talents I believed would infuse an intriguing dimension into each track. Oxymoreworks stands as a testament to the art of collaboration; a vibrant collection of musical dialogues."

ZEITGEIST TAKE 2 · Jean-Michel Jarre · NSDOS

Zeitgeist Take 2 with the incredible NSDOS is out now. I was always fascinated by the work of Koo Des, as a French pluridisciplinary artist. After he studied dance at the International Dance academy in Paris, he sought to create sounds on which to pose his movements. He then had to imagine a new sound order, an alternative approach to music - by abstraction. Sometimes called the "hacker of techno" by the French press, he distorts technological tools, creating the link between machines and matter. He collects living data, using his own motion capture sensors on his dancing body, interactive devices or creative coding programs, and injects them into the rectilinear skeleton of techno to make an organic matrix.So with NSDOS „Zeitgeist Take 2“ has become a deconstructed techno interpretation that takes listeners on a journey through a modern soundscape. NSDOS: „For me it's not just the digital tools but the medium that archives. You can read a book and miss it. But a good discussion is often much richer, the act of transmitting values from person to person, in a society where we tend to believe that digital technology can replace everything. On this project, there's no apprenticeship but a discussion about values, about our art. Here, after having discussed Pierre Henry's work with Jean-Michel, I loved the trust and fluidity in our exchanges. This is where a direct and indirect transmission took place."https://jean-michel-jarrexnsdos.lnk.to/ZEITGEISTTAKE2

Jean-Michel Jarre & Armin van Buuren - EPICA MAXIMA:

Quite a banger, don't know if I recognize the original.
It might be the time to come out this friday, doesn't it? [edit] Probably next week, when the album comes out.

This is quite good, I would say.

Epica Maxima visualizer video
Looks pretty stylish

The music in the visualizer video sounds different than the album version (contains more Epica parts than the album version).
