Ah the days when samplers were only available to serious artists. Zoolook still stands up as fresh today. One of his greatest albums. Sadly for me his direction has become lost in the techno mediocre genre. Fascinating footage as I have never seen him working in the studio. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@augmentedkeys5971]

You mean RICH artists... :)

[@ini9258]

Its way better now, why should technology be limited to the lucky one that make it, there are alot of serious artist out there, they mostly just broke af

[@iamyourfuture808]

Ian hmmm... “fresh” !?.. sounds about as contemporary as jarrs mullet.

[@spectralisation]

Yeah Jarre has fallen from a true visionary down to almost a copy of all the copies of himself. I guess he's having fun at least, but his newest music is not much better than the countless "DAW-less jams" that have populated KZbin and electronic music groups on Facebook. Zoolook, however, was really a pioneering album at that time, and the process must have been painstaking. Much respect to this man for his whole early career.

[@Ian-gw2vx]

@@ini9258 Well imho for me Zoolook, as limited in in technology as it was then, sounds far more exciting, fresh and organic than most electronic music today created with zillions of vsts etc. You can do far more with less.

Zoolook is one of my favorite records of all time, and this MIDI sampling technique was very similar to the Soundtracker concept on the Amiga 500. Those were the days!

And when you have access the Fairlight sounds library of this period you realize JMJ didn't go "all around the world for sampling all the sounds" for Zoolook as a lot of these sounds were actualy included when you bought a Fairlight CMI. 😉 And this not a problem as this album is excellent.

U gotta be kidding me No doubt he is a genius.. a master of samples... :) After i listened to it seveveral times i just realized it. 1:28"és nagyon örülök, hogy haz..." this is a part from a hungarian sentence I have only one question: Mr. Jarre where did you get the original sentence to this sample? (From a film, a tape... or something else) Nevertheless... thank you this album... and your fantastic musics!

[@LaLa-6581]

Definitely! I heard the same thing! You can even see on the screen @6:23 into the video that one sample is called "HONGROI2" - which means "Hungarian2"! And I'm pretty sure it's one of the samples that can actually be heard in the Zoolook album, so this to me is proof positive that there are (mangled) samples of Hungarian speech in it.

[@johnthecloud]

If you read the notes to the album Zoolook, it tells you all the languages sampled, and the guy who collected all the recordings; he was called Xavier Bellenger. Sadly he died in 2020.

I think it's this "és már múlik richy alszom" which translates from Hungarian as "depends on how well I sleep". I played it from another device into Google translate and even played back on there sounds the same when the AI talks it back. However, I sent the link to this video to a Hungarian friend who says it translates to something different like "I'm glad you came back". Let's just say JMJ has put a right conundrum on there!

@@paisteformula6021 It can be any language really. He might have spliced and diced the sounds. He did it on purpose for he did not want the words to be recognizable.
