Jean-Michel Jarre interview at the Amsterdam Dance Event | Muzikxpress 047

[@tomaszturkow2981]

This channel is something absolutely outstanding. Interviews with so many legends of Trance and Electronic music, JMJ, Thrillseekers, Sash!, Push,G&D. Stories behind the greatest classics ever. Can't wait for upcoming videos with Solarstone and Chicane. I'm sure that you have plans for future videos, but just suggesting - I'd dream of hearing stories about Above&Beyond beginnings&classics(Home, Madonna's track remix) and how Oceanlab project, which gave them status of Legends was brought to life. Also Svenson&Gielen did much for Trance music ;) Great job Twan, please keep doing it! Your channel deserves much more subs and Trance music lovers as this content is really awesome. Thanks!

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you Tomasz! Got some more ideas in the pipeline, hope more people find my videos and enjoy them. The more subscribers, the more chances of getting other big names as well hehe... But I'm super, super happy that Jean-Michel and his team allowed me to talk to him. Got another big trance name confirmed in the next few weeks, stay tuned ;-) Thanks again!

[@julko28]

Yeah Above & Beyond (Oceanlab) and Svenson & Gielen would be cool, Benno De Goeij maybe man there is so much to cover

[@muzikxpress]

Haha indeed, enough people I can (and want to) ask for the next few months. Just hope most will reply and say "yes". Fingers crossed ;-)

[@richardisaacs567]

True living legend. Can't believe he is in his 70s.

And such a friendly / down to earth guy, he was so nice!

[@youdj_app]

The biggest pioneer of electronic music, and from my country! Amazing to know that he likes bladerunner so much and its music, same for me, makes lot of sense.

[@NoMatterDesign]

I was lucky enough to be introduced to Jean-Michel Jarre and "Oxigen" when I was 7. My father used to like to show off his vinyl collection and Oxigen must have been in his top 5 favorits. I count myself blessed for it!

[@SongdoSilver]

A real hero of mine! Brilliant interview!

Thank you! And such a nice down to earth guy!

Saw him live for the first, and hopefully not the only, time, through the Coachella livestream. Words cannot describe.

WOW! You have outdone yourself Twan. GREAT interview with one of the masters.. all i can say is thank you! Listening to Jean-Michel, his honesty and renewed passion was inspiring! Your channel will be huge. It's only a matter of time. :)

[@dominiquematys1160]

I second that!!! I have been a fan of JMJ for more than thirty years. :D

[@Arlantix]

Your channel and your interviews are great. You don't get the chance to interview a music god like Jean Michel everyday. Fantastic job and keep it up man!.

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you so much! I never would have thought I would ever be able to interview Jean-Michel Jarre! He was so nice and humble, I was super nervous at first, but after a few minutes all was good :) Glad you enjoy the channel, thank you!!!

[@Jackobad]

Genius!

[@bhaveshshah2604]

Thank you so much Twan for this super interesting interview!! I'd be honest mate, if I were you I'd shaking like a leaf.. he's such a legend and done so much for electronic music. Was it like a dream come true when he agreed to do an interview with you lol? And I absolutely loved his new album. I reckon the two best 2018 albums have to be Equinoxe Infinity and Neon by The Digital Blonde. Classics!

[@muzikxpress]

Haha thanks Bhavesh! I was already surprised when I got an email back from his management, never expected that tbh! Jean-Michel was super nice, a real gentleman and he really took the time to answer the questions of us. And yes, I was nervous for sure, but he was super down to earth, so I think after 1-2 minutes I felt comfortable hehe.... But yes, a dream come true for sure!

[@bhaveshshah2604]

muzikxpress mate can you also add John 00 Fleming and The Digital Blonde in your long "people-I-still-need-to-ask-for-an-interview" list 😜

Thank you! And yes, he was super laid back, what a champ!

[@JARREmenoid]

Thank you so much for this great interview!!! I like you questions. They are very revealing! Thank you for your great job!

Great interview and I like my zero gravity picture that you used there...

[@danmarkori]

Interessant interview. Het relatief hoge volume van de muziek op de achtergrond leidt mij af, bemoeilijkt voor mij het goed volgen van het Frans/Engels. Jammer.

[@muzikxpress]

Bedankt voor je feedback! En ik dacht eerlijk gezegd dat het wel mee viel? Heb de muziek bewust zachter gezet, zeker ten opzichte van eerdere videos. Ik hoop dat je het toch nog hebt kunnen volgend in ieder geval. Ik ben geen pro en ik leer ook iedere keer bij, dus alle feedback is welkom :)

[@adeeaxadee]

Did you pinch yourself before, meanwhile of after? :D Great interview! Through his work I discovered electronic music, being extra fascinated as a kid and actually calling it "space music"". Thank you!

[@muzikxpress]

Haha yeah I was super happy I was given the chance to do this, he was super nice and cool. What a legend! I also love that he still has a lot of future plans.

[@Jurgenlivebe]

very intresting to hear that he will work on Electronica 3 - for sure one of the most exiting projects of the latest years. Hope he will cooperate with Kraftwerk, Vangelis, OMD, Depeche Mode and others

[@atomiccritter6492]

Im curious if there are covers of JMJs work which strip songs down to "natural" instruments liek acoustic guitar or grandpiano - I think that would be interesting = Yes I know The Shadows did an electric guitar version of one ogf his songs

[@antopsyco]

Good interview only one criticism, although I'm a JMJ fan, but feel like there shouldn't be a background music, because it was making me loose my concentration, it was interfering with what's been discussed.

[@muzikxpress]

Thank you! And I always put music in the background for all my interviews. Usually I get comments that the background music should be louder actually so people can hear the song(s) that is / are being discussed in the interviews haha ;-) I know everybody has a different opinion and it is impossible to do it right for everyone, but I personally do prefer a bit of background music. I think in my more recent interviews the audio mix of speach / music is a lot better btw. Anyway, I'm glady you enjoyed the interview, it was a huge honor for me to talk to JMJ, such a humble guy! :)

[@antopsyco]

@@muzikxpress Yes I did thanks for the upload! although its just over a 2 year old video, its always good to hear from JMJ. First time seeing this interview. If i was there, I would've asked him one question in regards to producing music using the old way, from an analogue instruments, and with a bit of digital integration, like a digital-analogue synthesis. And in regards to background music, i think its because i know the tracks already hearing them so many times thats why I couldn't concentrate on the words that's being said. But thanks again :)

[@muzikxpress]

@@antopsyco I had over 15 questions for him since the original idea was to get a personal one on one interview with him. On the day itself I heard that that wasn't going to happen anymore and that there would be other people as well with questions, so that's why this interview is different compared to my other interviews :) I'm still super happy I managed to speak to JMJ, but I obviously couldn't ask all my questions. JMJ isn't in The Netherlands often, so I'm very happy that I was still able to ask him a few questions. Usually I go more in depth about a certain track and ask about the inspiration, production etc etc. But I'm sure you'll understand :)

[@muzikxpress]

Oh now THAT would be pretty epic right? Never say never, but I don't think that will ever happen though, he hardly does interviews and I'm just a hobby-music-nerd-vlogger haha

Stop the music when somebody speaks! What is the message that you want to convey? What is important? The music or the spoken content?

Thank you for the feedback. However, the music in my vlogs is always in the background, plus all spoken content is always way louder compared to the background music. So far you're the only one who's complaining about it tbh ;-) I hope you still enjoyed the interview!
