What an Artist..Hes been in my life from 6yr old.. I was ill and his music was my medicine.
Awesome video!! He is a great, fascinating man and legend! Thank you! :)
I've never heard any producer compare electronic music production to cooking, but I have always said that and it's great to hear someone else verbalize it that way.
his music actually created who I am... Thanks Jean - you were / are a divine inspiration
Jean-Michel Jarre = Synth God
Great video! For a sales pitch this is actually really interesting. JMJ is the Godfather!
Electronic Genius from France,greets from Poland!
What he says at 6:25 about sampling and your own sound is the gospel to me.
I've loved Replika since NI gave it away at Christmas 2014 as a gift! It's actually a fabulous delay.
p
Jean inspires me and my music. Love his music.
excellent! the man that made me love electronic music
me too
Fantastic - and inspiring as hell! Also, amazing that the man whose English is not his native tongue can be so enchantingly articulate and eloquent in the way he expresses his ideas.
JMJ has been my man since I was 10 years old... Love you, man. You ARE electronic music to me.
Oh man, Replika. This little thing, enhancing my Sound for like the last year. I don't use another Delay anymore, most of the time. Sometimes, i use like internal delays from MASSIVE, but i still put a Replika behind it. The filtering of the wet signal, the modes sound just great. Its like the internal Reverb from MASSIVE, which i love, because it gives so much ambience and wetness to any sound (mostly pads tho)
What is the black & blue sequencer software in the back at 3:03 ? [EDIT] ok, it's called den JMJ Sequencer or Jarre Matrix sequencer and was custom made by or for him in Max for Live apparently
Oxygen is such an important part of my childhood -
+Voyage DnB Haha! I can honestly say Oxygen was pretty important to me as a kid too. Oxygene was an awesome album too, just enhanced by my love of Oxygen.
Who the hell Disliked the worlds biggest Synth Pioneer????He is father of the electronic music you fools!
Yeah music had really come a long way... Thanks to you guys for being part of the evolution.
Glad he loves replika, that's my favorite delay plugin, use it with almost every synth.
I really enjoyed this video. JM Jarre is quite an inspiration!
Mr Jarre is quite a commercial bastard. He obviously is getting payed by NA to say this. The grandfather of synthmusic stating he prefers plugins? How untrustworthy can you get. I'm sorry but I used to buy his records back in the 70s but I have no respect for this commercial rant. He just needs the money because his music shure as hell doesn't sell anymore. And apparantly its fake too
JMJ - Oxygenius Of Electronic Music ! Respect From Poland ;-)
Fascinating!
Samplers & Delays, my most loved gear indeed...I still wish Korg comes with a miniature sampler to companion my Monotron Delay everywhere I go :-)
*Great video. Amazing. Congratulations.*
The way he says “music” 😍
The french touch 🇫🇷
RECTIFICATION: After the EMU machine, came around 1986 the S series of affortable samplers : S 612, S 700, S 900, and finally the serious S 1000 that ruined my finance but gave me so much pleasure.
I should really look into Replika! Great video.
+Eric Fullerton Its the only delay vst I use now, highly recommend! Its great for the price!
The new technology changes the music as well as the old technology changes the modern music. It's the way that popular music , alternative music , electronic music change the style , the equipment , stuff and also other things. This is like an evolution. For example - If some of you are musicians or artists makes one new thing which is evolutionary for many people and inspire them. Also , your ' s talent has changes and evoluting to the another style. This is the way of art , our life is evoluting , change , we have the new experiences in life. In art it's the same thing , too. I'm the amateur artist and musician and I know that some modern musicians (for ex. Jean Michel Jarre , Armin van Buuren , Massive Attack, Above & Beyond , Daft Punk) changing the music style and have many inspirations for making art and being succesful musicians. I have also two friends who are also amateur/professional electronic musicians and DJ-s who are inspires by some of my favourite artists. One makes some music for the Windows and Android games and to the DJs. Another was maked the music for the trance music artists such as Dash Berlin , Paul Oakenfold and for music projects. I make music, too. I know that the style of electronic music and trance changes dynamic. So , I think that it's a big process but it would be boring if the artist makes music in the same style for many years. Artist can inspired by the old works and style and music , too but must change the style to make creative music. JMJ change the style of music with using the old accents and inspirations. JMJ is always an electronic music master ! ;)
Nice video ;) This shows a typical really good stuff which is of JMJ's music.
Thinking about music and cookery as the same thing is cool! Made me think from a different angle.
His music helped me through many boring hours of work.
Great report and a very sensitive way to explain.. I like it !!!
great interview.
HYPERMEGALIKE.. MAN!!! Ja ja ja Thanks Native Instruments for this.
Watch 6:31 - 6:44 was Great!!
He's right, Replica is really good.
I use it all the time, it is fantastic on strings and choirs too, add in a little stereo panning etc ... you can really make a warm sound.
good job NI. you got the right guy!!!
I still use my playstation one with music 2000 as one my samplers can create some funky sounds on that still. It was JMJ that got me into eletronic music after the first time I heard Oxygene .
20th and 21st Musical GENIUS!
amazing!
I have once test it record and cue tested with a Sony TC-270,wow and flutter but very clear signal
awesome!
GREAT!!
SO COOL PIERRE HELPED HIM.. PEOPLE RARELY DO SUCH THINGS LIKE THAT ANYMORE...
Very interesting
that last sequence !!!!!!!!!!! damn !
Oxygene pt.2
Do you own sampling as much as you can! Epic sample! OK, I want to make samples, and I purchase Kontakt, where is RECORD button?
Nice, man
how interresting!!!
What's the name of the sequencer at 9:42?
Native instruments we need a JMJ Kontakt plug.. I really would lofe to know a little more about his sampling techniques from Zoolook and where some of the sounds came from .. does anyone know more ?
Video should be titled "Jean-Michel Jarre on the advertisement of Native Instruments."
Diggin those big Genelecs.......ohh and the Fairlight
Anyone know what that step sequencer is? Looks interesting.
+HOURS techno Custom designed for him.
Bravo jean michel
at 9:42 anyone has an idea what he is using for sequencing?
that last few seconds.....:)
J'ai envie de passer une nuit dans son studio, vraiment.
Damn, he looks so young, maybe synthesis is the key for ethernal life, among with a shit ton of reverb!
very surprised no mention of Ensoniqe or Buzz.
This is a CC - "Commercial Collaboration"
Jmj is simply the best
I think the "soft synth" called Roland D-50 (yes, 70% of the D-50 development was software) had unique sound to it and still does. Not sure why Jarre would call such instruments daft or underdeveloped, and then talking all superlatives about Fairlight or the Emulator II about being so great. Anyway, we may lose ourselves in the instruments without even playing them properly. To me, the most amazing use of the synthesizer is what Hiromi Uehara does with her Nord Lead 2. I mean, this is the way to play the synthesizer.
Odyssee im
A year late with a reply but the reason he dislikes the D50 is because it took away all of the control musicians had with analog and all the dials and despite the sound being really quite brilliant. It was just a sound that when used once, that was it. That track owned that sound now. You very quickly ran out of being able to use the built in sounds and creating new ones wasn't really possible. You could have a whole new bank of sounds but they all sounded like the other sounds because the D50 doesn't have the filtering of analog. It is digital and fixed. Only tiny waveform variation and while lots of them is great. You get much more scope in a sound. They still all have the exact same processing afterward and as any fan of analog knows, the waveforms are really just the starting point. The good stuff happens after that. Also they took the knobs away man! That was evil. And having a super expensive programmer that awkwardly sat on top of it wasn't a solution. It helped but it was janky and clearly showed it wasn't a complete instrument on its own. We are getting the best of both worlds now but think back to the 80'/90s if you lived through those times. They were awful times for synth enthusiasts. Great time to buy analog because everyone threw them away but if you were searching for the new. The D50's of the time just didn't give you it. The DX7 just basically hated you but that FM was so new and after decades of analog, people were so hungry for new. I think the whole period was a dark time just like Jarre says. You had brief bursts of something that you thought was amazing but then after you heard it 100 times you started to get annoyed by it. I never in my life got annoyed by Moog when used in the right hands of course. Me on Moog, now you will be annoyed haha
He dislikes the D50? Well, that is funny, considering that "Revolutions" and "Waiting for Cousteau" wouldn't exist without it.
Certainly having all the controls accessible via a data entry and lots of menus makes it harder to create sounds, I'll give you that. But I wouldn't call it the dark times: synthesizers like the Yamaha DX7, the Roland D-50 and the KORG Wavestation really added new valuable sounds to the music industry and some of them have made history.
As Jarre says about the Fairlight or the Emulator, they have their own sound.
By the way, what do you mean that the D-50 didn't have the filtering of the analog? The TVFs were the digital emulation of the analog VCFs. Yes, I know that you couldn't filter the samples, but still, you could filter the sawtooth and pulse waves, like in any other analog synthesizer.
The D-50 is still capable of making great sounds, but you need to work on it. Like with any other synthesizer.
well you can't really quote Jarre here because its him that calls it the dark times and him that states the D50 was part of the dark times. I've watched most if not all the interviews of him that you can find on CZcams and he states this multiple times. Just because you used something doesn't mean you love it or continue to use it. Me personally I love it all from the very first little casio thing I got that made a ping sound to the computer emulating analog. I'm just explaining what I know about Jarre. Its certainly not an uncommon opinion among well respected musicians that are known to use synths.
I see what you or JMJ mean: certainly once you create a patch on a D-50 you can't do much variations in real time, apart from aftertouch, joystick and mod wheel. Once it's saved, you can't tweak the filter or play with the craziest parameters.
Personally I also value the "sound personality" and the possibilities of any synthesizer. That is why I am very fond of the DX7, the D-50 and the Wavestation, whereas very popular synths like the KORG M1 left a much smaller impression on me: the M1, although it had amazing imitations for that time, didn't have so many impressive synthetic sounds, in my opinion.
JMJ rocks.
Hello guys! I am Jarre fan from Russia! What is Kontakt?
Kontakt is our flagship instrument player, which allows you to run a ton of sound libraries and instruments within your DAW or in a standalone environment.
NI, NI, NI, NI and Arturia :)
;-) Yes cooking = Petit Bouchon... Restaurant of Lyon...
super jupiter!!!
1:53 ableton!
2 Revox und ausgleichen im system
This is not a Replika, this is a Sequencer who Jarre not used now
yeah he is so right ... i tend to forget to have fun with my toys
The Great JMJ :-)
hard to believe he's 68 years old.
electronic music is like cooking
He is supposed to be 67??? He looks like he's under 40.
+Francis Fabian The evolution of technology keeps him fresh ;)
WTF?! I searched to verify it because I couldn't believe he's that "old". He's been married to several beautiful women so that might have helped :)
Saw him talk at ADE in Amsterdam, 2018. He's in great shape!
@@davidmcnamara7928 have u seen his ex Charlotte Rampling recently? she looks sooo much older than him :(
I cant believe thats the man she (the fairy) was so madly in love with.
Great Komponist früher tonband heute haben wir Computer ist das gleiche
minun musiikkia voi kuunella Facebookista.
im the next jean michel jarre, i say this everywhere. he is good, he is most close to my music
e chant illonage samp ling s ampc ling amp cyclique
Spanish please!!!! :D
That French accent...😂😂
un de ces accents anglais...
Just a long commercial for Fairlight. Wonder how much they paid him
Synclavier has better sound than a Fairlight
fuck, this is an advertisement
Never really did dig this guys work, I was more an Emerson, Wakemam, Chic and Jan kinda guy, but.............
everyone cricitise my music even jean michel gets 10% dislike, so its normal to get dislikes
he says its good but then he says its bad, then its good then its bad... doesnt even make sense...
