Improvisation on Magnetic Fields II (JM Jarre) by Jan Loenders

#electronicmusic #electronic #synthesizermusic #synthesizer #synthesizers - Play this very loud, please!
‘Les Chants Magnétiques’ (English title: ’Magnetic Fields’) is the fifth studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released on Disques Dreyfus on 20 May 1981.
The title of the album is a play on words in the French language. The literal English translation of the French title, "Les Chants Magnétiques", is "Magnetic Songs". However, the French word for 'fields' (champs) is a homophone of the French word for 'songs' (chants), so in French, if the title is spoken out loud, it can be interpreted as either magnetic fields or as magnetic songs. (Les Champs magnétiques was a surrealist book published in 1920.)
The English title, "Magnetic Fields", is a literal translation of "les champs magnétiques" rather than "les chants magnétiques", and the pun in the original French title is lost in translation.
I've always loved that album. I've also loved 'Magnetic Fields II', and more specifically the final part in the performance during Jean-Michel Jarre's first tour in China, the part in which the interplay with Dominique Perrier is so beautiful.
So here's a little tribute to Jean-Michel Jarre's 'Magnetic Fields II', more specifically an improvisation of mine on the second part of the song.

Thank you very much!

You're right. Not exactly my cup of tea. But ... I admire many aspects of this music. And, excuse me, I especially admire the 'picture'/video, the expression in his face, his whole ... complexion. I bet this is connected with the meaning of the music?

[@jloenders]

I wanted a subtle expression on his face and a little bit of an ironic attitude that approaches the music a bit distantly. It was an exercise in improvising and in taking some distance at the same time from the music: an attempt to achieve some kind of difficult balance., which I enjoyed.
