The China Concerts ◄ (4 versions) PolyGram Music Video 1989 The Concerts in China (French title: Les Concerts en Chine) is a live album by Jean Michel Jarre, recorded in 1981 and released in 1982 on Disques Dreyfus. It was recorded during Jarre's Concerts in China tour of Autumn 1981, which consisted of five Peking and Shanghai concerts in China; this was the first time a Western pop artist performed in China after the Cultural Revolution.

The album is a balance of previously released tracks by Jarre, new compositions inspired by Chinese culture, and one rearranged traditional Chinese track ("Fishing Junks at Sunset"). The music is combined live and studio work, plus ambient sound recordings. The most live tracks are the Equinoxe and Magnetic Fields sets. New compositions include "Night in Shanghai", "Laser Harp", "Arpegiator", "Orient Express" and "Souvenir of China". "Fishing Junks at Sunset" is a new arrangement of a very old traditional Chinese song known as the "Fisherman's Chant at Dusk" which was performed and recorded with The Peking Conservatoire Symphony Orchestra, and is often wrongly attributed as being composed by Jean Michel Jarre, misled by the album inlay. The album was originally released as a double-disc LP, then as a double-disc CD. There was also a CD release in two separate volumes, with the cover color changed to blue (Vol. 1) and yellow (Vol. 2). In 1997, a one-disc remastered CD was released, made possible by an extended running time of 78:17 minutes and by reducing the gaps and audience noise between tracks. One of the album's original tracks – "Arpegiator" – was used in the soundtrack of the cult film 9½ Weeks. The Concerts in China's opening track "The Overture" is in fact the first movement of "Magnetic Fields Part 1" slowed down. The album reached #6 in the UK charts and #1 in Portugal.

For a period of time, Held it a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest outdoor "rock concert" in history, with figures varying from 1 to 1.5 million in attendance. Rendez-vous Houston is remembered for being the Which concert celebrated the astronauts of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, Which Happened only had two and a half months beforehand. One of Jarre's friends, astronaut Ron McNair, had been killed in the disaster. He was supposed to play the saxophone from space During the track "Last Rendez-Vous", his substitute for the concert was Houston native Kirk Whalum.

Planning and problems of the concert In 1985, Jarre was contacted by the musical director of the Houston Grand Opera with The Proposal for him related to the celebrations of Texas' 150th birthday in 1986, the 150th birthday of the city of Houston and NASA's 25th birthday. Because of NASA's Involvement, Jarre got the chance to keep in contact with a friend of his, astronaut Bruce McCandless II captain who later Introduced Jarre is a companion of his flight, jazz musician and astronaut Ron McNair. Together they had the idea That for the celebrations, Jarre would create a piece of music that Could be performed by McNair on his saxophone. The idea was that McNair, on his next trip into space in the Challenger Space Shuttle, would perform (and record video onto) the new piece of music, Which would then be projected (through video playback) onto a giant screen That was to be Constructed on the front of one of the buildings. On January 28th, 1986, McNair telephoned Jarre for the last time. "... Everything's ready. See you in a week's time. Watch me on TV for the takeoff!" On That same day, an appalled world witnessed the historic tragedy - the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated in mid-air whilst on its ascent into space. Distraught by what Happened, Jarre almost DECIDED to cancel the concert. However, astronauts from NASA (including Bruce McCandless) telephoned Jarre. They asked not to cancel Jarre, as now the concert must go ahead, and be Held in Respect to pay tribute to the astronauts who had lost Their lives in the disaster. The run-up to the concert itself still did not go smoothly. Rain poured down on Houston a couple of days before the concert, destroying much of the equipment on stage (Which was repaired by the day of the concert), breaking wires and ruining instruments. Furthermore, there had been a very strong wind blowing all week, Which ended up splitting open the giant projection screen (Which was made from Several small canvas panels) and Causing it to come crashing down. The local police turned up During the middle of a rehearsal Demanding immediate payment of a fine, the residents who lived nearby were complaining of Excessive noise and were exhausted from sleepless nights Their. Also, FBI officers threatened to put a stop to the whole Proceedings Because they were being Deprived of electricity. 30 large lamps had been installed on top of the FBI headquarters, and they were Causing Problems With Their surveillance of Colonel Gaddafi, who was visiting the city at that time.

There was still one more slight issue before the concert started. The chief of the Houston Fire Department, Robert Clayton, had told Francis Dreyfus, Jarre's manager, that 'the show must be canceled. This was due to a change of the wind direction, the Chief Concerned That was the crowd would be showered with firework debris. After some back-andforth argument with Dreyfus, Clayton Agreed The Concert That Could proceed on a 'see how it goes' term. During the concert (specifically, During the performance of Equinoxe Part 5), the amount of fireworks being used and the direction of the wind did indeed cause debris to rain down on the audience, covering Them in ash. Clayton Began frantically to try to stop the Proceedings, Fearing That people would be injured. Although his Fears were Duly Noted, the crowd took no notice of the ash falling onto it Carried Them and enjoying the concert Proceedings. During the concert, Which Interstate 45 runs past the downtown Buffalo Bayou Park, came to a standstill as locals and travelers alike long distance stopped, Parked on the crowded freeway and applauded, Wept and laughed in unison with the thousands below Them in the park.

Technical Data: Team: A team of 105 technicians, including 55 French, worked hard for 4 weeks to build the whole infrastructure of the show, ie, all lighting, sound, control room, etc.. This represents a total of over 60 km of cables diverse and varied! The team took only two days to remove everything! Pyrotechnics: The show was the occasion of the largest fireworks shot ever made in South Africa. Nearly 15 tons of fireworks were reduced in smoke during the three evenings, which represents over 1,000 pieces every night. The length of wiring required for real time control of fireworks exceeded 8 km! Sound: Any sound reinforcement was available on site, it was not necessary to import it from France as was the case for lighting. To realize the power of the sound system, just know that it was approximately equivalent to 2.5 times the sound system used for the American SuperBowl! Again, this is a record in South Africa! Communications: As for sound, the communication network was available on site. The purpose of this network was to connect all technicians to optimize and coordinate their work. More than 60 communication stations and 9 km of cable was needed. Lighting: Most of the lights were imported from France (25 tons!) In a Russian Ilyushin 76 aircraft of the airline of South Africa (about 2500 pieces of lighting). It has added some 450 pieces of lighting standard that the team has procured locally. The lights were installed throughout the valley, including the Palace. The wiring required to control these lighting effects exceeded 12 km long! Among the most illuminating parts impresionnantes include: EAP: This is a continuation entirely controlled by an operator who can do what he likes to project moving images wherever he wants. This lawsuit uses a 2500 W bulb and can make projections to hundreds of meters! The show used 10 of these lawsuits. Beam: 18 of these systems fully controlled by computer were used. Each of them has a 7000 Watt bulb. Skytrackers: 4 skytrackers were used to generate lighting effects through their four bulbs of 4000 W each fully synchronized! Projectors: These projectors that are normally used to illuminate the football stadiums in the USA. The team of Jean Michel has adapted for the occasion (addition of a color change) and it is not less than 100 of these projectors have been spread throughout the valley, thus emphasizing all the relief Site. Military spotlights: These projectors DCA type used during the Second World War, provided by the South African army, found there a quite peaceful use!

Power supply: The show requires to be done properly a consistent power supply, capable of delivering more than 1.5 MW. Over 10 kilometers of electrical cable feeding were necessary for performing ensembles.

The Twelve Dreams of the Sun – 99/00 • From December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000 • Giza, Egypt • Audience: 120,000 The Twelve Dreams Of The Sun was a concert held by musician Jean Michel Jarre on the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt starting on December 31, 1999 and carrying overnight to January 1, 2000. It was attended by 120,000 people. The concert consisted of two parts, the Main Concert and a Sunrise Concert. The concert cost approximately $9,500,000 and it originated when Jean-Michel Jarre was contacted by the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak with a special project to celebrate the dawn of the new Millennium at the foot of the only remaining monument of the original 7 Wonders of the World - the Great Pyramids. Jarre's team had developed giant projections to be displayed on the faces of the Great Pyramids, however a heavy cloud of fog made the pyramids almost invisible, so most of the projections were discarded. Parts of the concert were broadcast live on TV stations around the world.

Map & Desciption of the Show

The format of the show is something quite different to past shows by Jean Michel Jarre, mainly because The Twelve Dreams of the Sun will last 12 hours - starting at 19:00 on 31st December 1999 and finishing at 07:00 on 1st January 2000.

Despite the show being 12 hours long, this does not mean Jean Michel is going to play a 12 hour show. The Twelve Dreams of the Sun will encompass a collection of different musical styles, cultures and events. Full details of the line-up and event schedule for the show is not currently known, however the following has been gathered over the past few months as to the structure of the show: The Twelve Dreams of the Sun will be split into twelve movements, and there are three important stages of the show; the beginning at 19:00, midnight when it becomes year 2000, and at the end of the event. Jean Michel will play approximately a 2 hour show from 22:00 to 00:00, to see in the third millennium in Egypt. Although it is expected that Jean Michel will be involved with the show to some degree before and after his performance. A large number of artists will also be involved with the production, with a mix of different cultures and styles. The start of the event will see the Berlin Symphonic Orchestra perform Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, with 2000 children present on stage, each holding one candle (one candle to symbolise one year). The end of the show will see the gold cap placed on the pyramid Khufu, with a recording of the Egpytian song diva Um Kalthoum being played, who died in 1975.

136 | P a g e

After Jarre's scheduled performance at 00:00, acts from all over the world will perform for one hour, starting when it is midnight in their home country, in a sense celebrating the new millennium again.

As ever with previous productions that Jean Michel has been involved with, the theme is important, with The Twelve Dreams of the Sun taking a retrospective look back at accomplishments and events in Egypt, and a look to the future of Egypt and the hopes of Egyptians. The show promises to have an unmistakable worldwide feel to it, with instruments such as reed flutes and the lute being used. The Cairo Opera House is assisting in organizing The Twelve Dreams of the Sun. In addition, Dutch electronic giants Phillips are working on new instruments for the show.

137 | P a g e An electronic opera conceived and performed live by Jean Michel Jarre. Featuring Jarre classics, interpretations on Oriental, Western and traditiona Egyptian songs and music from his eagerly awaited new album “Metamorphoses” .

As the rest of the world prepares to celebrate the arrival of the third millennium, the Egyptian Minister of Culture, Mr Farouk Hosny, has commissioned a landmark event to take this country of ancient civilization into its seventh millennium. Specially conceived for this once in a lifetime experience, “Twelve Dreams of the Sun” is a four act electronic experience which has been composed and will be performed and directed by renowned French artist Jean Michel Jarre. To be held at the foot of the great Pyramids of Giza. “Twelve Dreams of the Sun” will commence at sunset on New Year’s Eve 1999 and will continue until sunrise on January 1st 2000. A co-production with the Cairo Opera House, Jean Michel Jarre Millennia Night in the Egyptian Desert promises to be one of the most visual and entertaining celebrations of the turn of the century. It will incorporate extraordinary audio- visual and stage displays together with a unique interpretation of Oriental, Western and traditional Egyptian songs, music and choreography. A crowd of over 50.000 is expected to watch “The Twelve Dreams of The Sun”, which Jean Michel Jarre will perform with the help of over 1000 performers and musicians. Extracts of the show will be transmitted live around the world and the Concert will be broadcast live on the web on www.cyberconcerts.com. "The Twelve Dreams of The Sun" will feature many of Jean Michel Jarre’s classics, as well as music from his new album Metamorphoses, which is released by Dreyfus Disques/Sony Music on January 25, 2000. Jean Michel Jarre’s first single, from culture, will be the highlight of his millennium Concert. Jean Michel Jarre commented; “When I was asked by the Egyptian government to create a millennium opera I have just finished writing C’est La Vie for my new album. It was like a premonition and what better way to start this exciting new millennium than in front of one of the oldest and most magical symbols of human civilization.” “ … Who hasn’t dreamed of experiencing that once in a lifetime extraordinary adventure…to climb the highest mountain, to explore the deepest ocean, to travel in outer-space, to fly around the world in a hot-air balloon, to spend a magical night in the desert under the stars?…” "The Twelve Dreams of The Sun" is different from Jean Michel Jarre’s previous creations. It is much more than a concert, a show or an opera. It is an adventure celebrating the passing of time and the festive turning of the Millennium. "The Twelve Dreams of The Sun" will take place on a central stage situated on the Giza Plateau. Thus creating a magical night during which the Sun dreams about our times, its own mythological Egyptian origins, life, death and the future. A live celebration in music and technicolour, "The Twelve Dreams of The Sun" is a surrealistic late of the Sun’s dreams since the beginning of time. Jarre’s four act Concert spectacular will portray an imaginary voyage of the Sun into the New Millennium. A tale of 12 dreams that will take us from the past to the future through awesome and inspiring scenery and staging. It will incorporate Egyptian, international, classical and contemporary performances, giving this extraordinary event a universal touch. This spectacular concert, which Jarre will perform live, will transform the Giza Pyramids and desert area in a way that only Jean Michel Jarre can. "The Twelve Dreams of The

138 | P a g e

Sun" is a magical, not to be missed voyage into the dawn of the new millennium. It will touch everyone who will witness it, making it a night that will endure in the heart and soul. On 31 December the festivities will take place in 4 acts with the idea of accompanying the Sun from the final sunset of the passing millennium through to sunrise on the first day of the year 2000. Act 1 – The last sunset will be marked by a spectacular lighting design of the Three Great Pyramids: Kheops, Khefren and Mykerinos, as well as a live mix of different atmospheric sounds which will infiltrate the audience. Act 2 – At around 10.30 PM the celebration will reach its highlight with a 3-hour live concert performance by Jean Michel Jarre. 1000 performers together with Jarre will take us through to 1.30 AM. Jean Michel Jarre will mark the birth of the first day of the 3rd millennium with a “Midnight Surprise”- the first ever performance of his brand new work together with the capping of the great pyramid Kheops which will flood the surrounding area with golden rays. Act 3 – 1.30 AM until sunrise will see an “Oriental tribute to the Sun” from the local musicians and dancers who would have participated in Jarre’s Live performance. Act 4 - At dawn, around 5.30 AM Jean Michel Jarre will come back on stage with his musicians to welcome, in music and vision, the sunrise of the new millennium "Since the pyramids are linked to the sun, I have decided to stage a modern, multimedia opera that will last twelve bows and accompany the sun from the second millennium to the 3rd millennium, in the tradition of Ra (The Main pharaonic god)"

140 | P a g e Papa Ă&#x2030;lectronique by Robert Heller

One of the world's premier electronic musicians, Jean Michel Jarre is also the grand-pĂ¨re ofthe genre's pop side, taking the music to masses in away that no one before him had-and influencing an entire generation of musicians in the process. Since the 1977 release of Oxygene--which hit #2 on the UK pop album charts despite being made completely on synthesizers, containing no vocals and coming from France--Jarre has put on the biggest concerts in the world (in China, Paris, the London Docklands, and, on Millennium Eve, at the Great Pyramid), collaborated with everyone from Laurie Anderson, Sharon Corr, and Apollo 440 to Hank Marvin (the Shadows) and the Choir of Radio France. After revisiting his seminal release in 1997 with Oxygene 7-13, Jarre started to move in a new direction. Amazon.co.uk contributor Robert Heller discussed Metamorphoses, Jarre's first full album to feature lyrics, with the enigmatic musician. Amazon.co.uk: Why Metamorphoses? Jean Michel Jarre: I suppose that after having done Oxygene 7-13, when I revisited that past, my past, I wanted to open a new chapter and start with a blank page again. I also like this idea of movement between two states which is what metamorphoses is. Where things are biologically or ideologically impure, something in between pure concepts. I don't like pure concepts. I like things that are on the fringe of movements. 6B Amazon.co.uk: This is the first time you've used vocals as something other than another instrument; the first time that they've been the focus of a song. Jarre: I suppose I wanted to be more direct, more expressive. With instrumental music, you're dealing more with soundscapes or landscapes. You're being more descriptive and impressionistic, but as soon as you have words--even if it is only a few words--you are dealing with ideas and concepts and stories. Amazon.co.uk: Why have you not used vocals this way before? Jarre: I suppose I was not ready. I was shy and not confident enough, maybe, of using my own voice. Amazon.co.uk: Laurie Anderson is one of the featured vocalists on Metamorphoses. How did that collaboration come about? Jarre: I've known Laurie for quite a while; we worked together on my Zoolook album. When I did this song ("Je Me Souviens"), I immediately felt that Laurie should do it. I had this idea of having very simple words, generic words: "heart", "child", "fish", "tree". Your vision of the tree, your tree is different from my tree, and I wanted to include that dimension. So I asked her: "Ok these are generic words that everyone can understand; I would like you to give a range of emotion between love, despair, fears, hopes and all that." She did it beautifully. Amazon.co.uk: And Natacha Atlas? Jarre: That is another story. I really wanted to have some kind of eastern feel in this album because I really think that one of the main metamorphoses of our culture. I've always been cautious about making this kind of world music statement--worried that it's very 1980s, thinking ethnic stuff is trendy--but these days I think there is a true eastern feel and connection wherever you are in Europe. In France it is the North African connection, in Germany it would be the Turkish connection, in England the Pakistani or Indian connection. It is the reality of the street on a day to day basis. I think that if Europe exists in the future, it'll not be because of us, because we are not able to do it by ourselves. It will be because of the presence of this eastern connection, this glue from outside. When I heard Natacha Atlas in, Transglobal Underground this Jewish Egyptian with a Belgian passport speaking Arabic with a European accent... this girl symbolises exactly what I feel. Amazon.co.uk: When you first started making electronic music, did you think it would become as successful and popular as it is today?

141 | P a g e Jarre:

Actually, Oxygene was not my first attempt. Even then, to begin with, it was only popular on my street probably. Oxygene was refused by a lot of record companies. They all said it wasn't pop, there wasn't a singer, there's no three minute singles and on top of all this the guy is French! It will never work. I was emotionally really convinced that the music I was doing was not only a new way of doing music, but it would become a style, a genre, itself in the future: I had to keep on going. Amazon.co.uk: What do you think of the next wave of French electronic acts? Jarre: I really love Daft Punk and Air. They're really interesting guys, doing interesting music. I also really like lots of other new electronic artists: Underworld, the Chemical Brothers, Les Rythmes Digitales. They are part of my family. We're all part of the same electronic music tribe. ~Robert Heller would like to spend his time travelling the world hunting down the wildest nightclubs and the most exciting new sounds but ends up spending most of his time writing about music for 7, Ministry, Sleazenation and any other publication that will have him.

Rendez-Vous in Space - 2001 For the 1st day of 2001, Jarre teamed up with Tetsuya "TK" Komuro and writer Arthur C. Clarke to celebrate the beginning of the 21st century on Okinawa, Japan, with 20,000 attending in the Ginowan Seaside Park. A purported intention to release the new compositions didn't come to fruition, as the band formed by Jarre and Komuro became shortlived. Some of those themes were incorporated by Jarre in other releases.

Arthur C. Clark na Rendez-Vous in Space Ouverture Part 1 and 2 I'am Arthur Clarke. Good evening Jean Michel. Good evening TK. Good evening Okinawa. I am with you in spirit for our "Rendezvous In Space" with The ViZitors. Happy 2001 everybody! The Future is Now! The Voyage We are all voyagers on Spaceship Earth. But when we leave it, we have to take with us the environment that nature has given us. We must know where we're going, so we have to have computers and telescopes. We have to build an artificial world in fact... And when we'll be doing that, we'll travel out into the universe on voyages which may take Months to the nearer planets. Years to the closest stars. Thousands of years to the more distant stars and perhaps Millions of years to other galaxies. My name is Arthur Losing in space would be much the same as on Earth and when I say in space I mean in a spaceship because as everyone knows in space no-one can hear you scream... IN SPACE, NO-ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM! Children of Space Lifeforms on other planets will be even more varied than they are on this planet. They will depend to a large extent on the gravitational field on a planet which has a much higher gravity than Earth - obviously you couldn't have large animals - they'd be small and squat and perhaps with many legs. On the other hand, on planets with very low gravity you would have very spindly, thin animals - very tall ones - and trees perhaps hundreds of feet or hundreds of metres high and maybe even kilometres high. The variations we will find in space are almost infinite... Nobody Space is unimaginally empty. Beyond human comprehention. The planets and stars are seperated by inconceviable distances. So one of the aspects of space is utter lonliness. And of course, absolute silence. The effect on the human psychy will be profound - some people may even go mad, because of the lonliness and silence. On the other hand, others may find themselves in that very clear... Rendez-Vous in Space A "Rendez-vous in Space" would be a meeting with other space travellers -human or alien. It could be re-visiting a colony in space, on a planet or a space station. Obviously there'll be a great deal of love-making in space and there are some suggestions that's already happened. Making love under low gravity obviously has attractions as how often does the weight of your partner cut of your circulation!? Race in Space Because light travels at a finite speed - and so therefore anything further away is further and further back in time. The Moon is only a second away. The planets, minutes away. The

145 | P a g e

Stars, years away back in time. If we do have visitors from space obviously they'll know much more about the universe than we do, so we'll ask them what it's like out there. But I think the most important question we could ask them is "Do you believe in God?".

Le Printemps de Bourges - 2002 Jarre's most confidential performance to date took place at Bourges, France in April 2002. It was in the context of the very hype electronic music festival called Le Printemps de Bourges.The concert, more in the lines of a Master Class, was shared by a full house of no more than 100, in the historic setting of Palais Jacques-Coeur.

For the occasion Jarre had taken along his Theremin and synthesisers of both older and newer generation. The theme of this singular performance was the development of electronic music, and Jarre also played a piece, Blue, from one of his very first works, Aor, which he composed while he was studying with Pierre Schaeffer at GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales).

Jarre also performed two original compositions, Bourges I and Bourges II, which are in the vein of experimental techno and electronica, specially composed for the occasion. Jarre also introduced his various instruments and discussed his approach to composition and its evolution over the years.

The theme of the concert was the development of electronic music, so Jarre had brought new as well as old synthesizers, including the theremin. One surprising track performed during the concert was Blue, dating back to the early seventies, one of the parts from Aor, music composed while Jarre was studying under musique concrete legend, Pierre Schaefer. Other tracks included were Bourges I and II, mixing contemporary techno and electronica with improvisation. Between tracks Jarre would talk about his instruments as well as his student days with Schaeffer. Live Printemps de Bourges 2002: online album

Aero - Tribute to the Wind - 2002 Jean Michel Jarre’s first open air concert in Scandinavia was staged in a rainy windmill field in Denmark, close to Gl. Vrå. The inspiration for the show was wind, first and foremost as an alternative energy source but also the wind as natural force. It was rain, however, that stole the show and turned the windmill field into a regular mud bath during and especially after the concert when the audience tried to make their way home. Despite the tough weather conditions the concert was an artistic success with good live-renditions from Jarre. Apart from two new quality compositions most of the tracks played had been rearranged for the show, some even quite a lot. The sound quality of the concert was one of the best Jarre has achieved for an open air show to date, and bearing in mind the difficult weather conditions and the location of the show, far away from everything and anything, this was simply impressive. Visually the show focused mostly on the stage with impressive colourful and surreal computer images. The windmills also served as pillars of light and added a touch of futurist aesthetic to the concert while fireworks battled the heavy wind and rain.

April 2, 2005 Copenhagen, Denmark, Parken Stadium Audience: 28,000 Jarre performed Rendez-Vous 2 for celebration of the bicentenary of Hans Christian Andersen

Jean Michel Jarre in concert at the Hans Christian Andersen commemoration gala Mr Jarre started the show with his musical and visual interpretation of Andersen’s tale "The Shadow", a 10 metre shadow projected onto a Chinese translation of the tale, accompanied by a vivid laser show. The spectacular two hour programme celebrated Andersen’s most famous tales and the story of his life, featuring music, film, acrobatics, ballet, tap dance and children's choirs. On the occasion of his performance Mr Jarre said: "As we celebrate Hans Christian Andersen, we celebrate more than an author. We celebrate education, through simple universal messages, through simple words, accessible to all, in any language. As a long standing ambassador to UNESCO, I see Hans Christian Andersen's work as a positive, timeless weapon to combat illiteracy, and promote a dignified action...education for all...education for everyone. The world has too many shadows, that deserve to meet, one day, an educated master...so let's help them."

At the gala event, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and Her family were joined by other European royals and guests such as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors Sir Roger Moore and Harry Belafonte, Danish football star Peter Schmeichel, Irish politician John Hume, Chilean writer Isabella Allende and others. The biggest Danish cultural event ever was broadcast to millions of TV viewers worldwide. In the spotlight was a stage built on four massive icicles, imitating the tale of The Snow Queen. The show called "Once Upon A Time" was hosted by Gladiator-actress Connie Nielsen. It began with French musician Jean-Michel Jarre's interpretation of "The Shadow" - a 10-metre shadow projected onto a Chinese translation of the tale. It danced its way through a sea of coloured laser-light and computerised music. The spectacular two-hour programme celebrated 12 of Andersen's most famous tales, featuring ballet, acrobatics, children's choirs and tap dance.

The set list consisted mainly of tracks from the Aero album and the sound was in 5.1 surround. Since the concert was an indoor event there were naturally certain visual limitations, but the mobile walls and roof allowed Jarre to play his famous laser harp during Rendez-Vous II.

Space of Freedom (Solidarnosc) - 2005 August 26, 2005 Tricity, Poland, Gdańsk Shipyard, Poland. With Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra, Gdańsk University Choir, Jean-Michel Jarre. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Lech Wałęsa's Solidarity movement, Jean Michel Jarre performed an energetic concert in Gdańsk, northern Poland. The backdrop was the shipyard where workers went on strike in August 1980 leading to the eventual fall of communism in Poland. The setting includes a moving crane lit from the inside, and the hangar door opening to reveal an orchestra surrounded by sparks from metal welding.

Water for Life - 2006 December 16, 2006 Merzouga (Sahara desert), Morocco Audience: 15.000 people

"Water for Life" was a concert given by French electronic musician Jean Michel Jarre on the night of December 16, 2006 amidst the dunes of the Sahara desert at Merzouga, Morocco. The concert was held under the auspice of UNESCO as 2006 had been designated the International Year of Deserts and Desertification by the United Nations General Assembly. The free 2h25m concert, sponsored by the Kingdom of Morocco, was attended by an estimated 10-15,000 spectators. It was filmed in high-definition TV and broadcast live by the public Moroccan TV station (channels RTM1 and TVM International) and by Almaghribya TV. A one-hour edit was produced for sale to TV stations. A souvenir 172-page hardback book entitled "The Making of Water for Life" was published in 2007 which documented how the concert was staged in detail

Stage The stage featured a collection of nine 4-by-10-metre vertical screens (similar to those in the 1993 Europe in Concert tour), described as "doors to the desert". On them were projected images - static and animated -, as in a typical Jarre concert. Behind the stage, the desert dunes were lit, and fireworks were shot behind and around the stage. Two general rehearsals were held, on the previous night and on the evening of the day of the concert, complete with fireworks. Like Jarre's previous concert, Space of Freedom, they were filmed to get additional coverage for a post-live edit; the rehearsals were also filmed to prevent any bad weather during the live concert preventing its release on video, as had happened before with The Twelve Dreams of the Sun (1999â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2000) and Aero - Tribute to the Wind (2002). During rehearsals, a balloon with an internal projector was placed on center stage, but it did not appear in the concert itself.

Téo & Téa showcases - 2007 Showcase performance for the album Téo & Téa. March 28, 2007: Alfacam studios, Lint, Belgium. April 15, 2007: Queen Club, Paris, France. May 20, 2007: VIP Room, Cannes, France. Téo & Téa is a conceptual album by French composer and artist Jean Michel Jarre, published by Warner Music in late March 2007. The album was released in the U.S. three weeks later, on 16 April 2007. It is Jarre's thirteenth studio album. The album tells, in musical form, a metaphorical love story of fictional cartoon characters Téo and Téa, two lookalike creatures (one male, one female) who meet, fall in love and spend one day together. They are seen in the computer-animated video clip accompanying the title track. The album was launched, in physical form, as an edition containing just the CD and also as a "De Luxe Edition" containing the CD bundled with a DVD. The DVD features the same tracks mixed for 5.1 sound, as well as the video clip for the title track in highdefinition, viewable on personal computers. Téo & Téa is of a more simplistic and playful nature than Jarre's previous albums and, like 2000's Métamorphoses, is danceoriented.

Special editions A promotional CD single, including the track "Téo & Téa", and a promotional DVD single including the video clip for the same track, were released to clubs and radio stations in February 2007, without reference to composer or artist. A promotional audio CD of the album was released to the press in February 2007. The iTunes release of the album includes some exclusive bonuses: the videos "Making of (English)" – 8:35 and "Making of (French)" – 11:30; pre-orders also included the tracks "Téo & Téa — 6:00 AM Special" and "Jean Michel Jarre's Track-by-Track Commentary" (English and French versions). French hypermarket chain Carrefour included an exclusive 32-page booklet with the album. Singles Two singles have been released, the first, "Téo & Téa", as a promotional for clubs and radio stations in February 2007 and then in a general release. The second, "Vintage", was released in digital download format only, in July 2007, including two remixes by ATB.

Attribution of preset patches Téo & Téa features patches of drum patterns found on the Roland MC-808, a Groovebox of which the album makes quite heavy use. Starting from 19 June 2007, there was a debate amongst fans at several internet forums regarding Jarre's participation in creating them, or that he might have copied them in the album with too much ease. Usage of these patterns is not illegal, as expressed in the user manual on page 13. Jarre's management Aero Productions responded on the matter on 28 June 2007 with a statement to the administrator of the then Jarre's "official" web forum, who posted the following message on: "Jean Michel Jarre explained that he entered into a partnership with Roland Japan last year, to collaborate with and contribute to demos, patterns and presets for their future products. Jean Michel Jarre explained that the Roland MC808 was one of these products, therefore it is not surprising that certain elements of his new TÉO & TÉA album appear on the Roland MC-808, or any other recent Roland product for that matter." However, the original statement from Jarre and Aero Productions has not been made public, nor has it been explicitly stated that Jarre is the sole creator of the patterns. Jarre was credited with a patch on another model of Roland that was released in the same year, the Roland SH-201,but Jarre's name does not appear on Roland's list of patch creators for the MC-808, Tim Hüfken (credited as "artistic collaborator" in the booklet of Téo & Téa) appears instead. On the other hand, Jarre himself is credited in the booklet of Téo & Téa for "drums programming" on the Roland MC-808.

Comment by Jarre on the album In an interview by French Trax magazine in 2010, Jean Michel Jarre said Téo & Téa had been a mistake in his career: C'etait une erreur cet album, une connerie. Sur un plan personnel, j'avais plein de galères et je me suis amusé à jouer avec des samples, comme une récréation. Et on l'a sorti comme album. Mais quand je le réécoute aujourd'hui... Je l'assume, hein, il faut bien assumer ce qu'on fait, mais je ne le referais pas. (This album was a mistake, a dumb thing to do. I had a lot of personal problems at the time, and I kept myself entertained playing with these samples. And then they were released as an album. But when I listen to the album today... well, one has to stand behind one's own work, I guess, but I really wouldn't do it again.) Jean Michel Jarre

Oxygene 30th Anniversary Tour On September 19, 2007, Jarre performed his Oxygène album at the Alfacam studios, Lint, Belgium, which was filmed with special 3D cameras. This recording was included on his CD+DVD Oxygene: New Master Recording, celebrating the album's 30th anniversary. The audience consisted of a very small number of invities only. Jarre then performed 10 Oxygene concerts in Paris, from December 12 to December 26, 2007. The concerts took place at the Théâtre Marigny, a small, 1000 seats theatre located in the Champs-Élysées. A high-definition recording of the final show was broadcasted by Belgian channel EXQI, in January 2010

Indoors Arena Tour 2009/10/2011 During 2009, 2010 and 2011 Jarre performed an indoors tour, but with a different concept than his previous Oxygene tour. Jarre performed music from all of his best-selling albums, in a show with cutting-edge digital technology, lasers design and lighting choreography. Jarre at first also conceived HD video projections, but these were later cut from the show, as Jarre stated: "I don't want the audience to think that they're watching a tv show. The visual aspect has to support the music, and not be the soundtrack of the visuals." The 2010 part of the tour was an upgraded version of his 2009 tour, with new visuals added such as giant image projections, and also performing outdoors on some occasions.

10 10 10 Project – 2010 ‘2010′ World Tour Concert at The O2 Arena in London, England on Sunday 10th October 2010, will be streamed ‘LIVE’ on the Internet.

10/10/2010 from 18:30 to 21:00 Electronic pioneer Jean Michel Jarre returns to London with another ambitious concert that mixes sensual dance music with narrative elements. Jarre has, of course, been on and off the road since 1976 and the release of his seminal Oxygene debut which sold 12 million copies and remains unparalleled in French history. In total, Jarre’s music has sold 60 million albums world-wide. But it’s not just his music that seeks to push boundaries – as the artist is equally renowned for his live shows, including a post-Mao concert in China in the ’80s. Indeed, Jarre has broken his own entry in the Guinness Book of Records for the largest attendance at a concert on three occasions. Obviously, the Albert Hall might not be big enough to see a repeat of this record breaking event. One can only imagine how great this concert is going to be.

Confirming details of Rendez-Vous Perth, organiser Maryanne Bell said yesterday the concert would transform Langley Park, attracting up to 80,000 people at the reserve along with a global TV audience. With Jarre's concerts described as "hijacking an entire city for one night", Ms Bell said people could expect the feature lighting, laser choreography, videos and fireworks synonymous with his work. "Anything Jean Michel does he doesn't do lightly," she said. "It's always big and quite spectacular. Sydney and Melbourne are very annoyed that this is happening in Perth." Described as a pioneer in the electronic, synthpop, ambient and new age genres, Jarre, 63, has staged concerts for up to 3.5 million people. He has performed in locations such as Place de la Concorde in Paris, Egypt's Pyramids of Giza and Monaco, where he performed for Prince Albert's wedding. Ms Bell, an entrepreneur and founder of ITM Productions, predicted the concert would rival the Australia Day Skyworks and the Leeuwin Concert for size and prestige, with international visitors, celebrities and dignitaries expected to fly in. The concert will be free but about 8000 VIP tickets will be sold. Ms Bell said a gala ball would be held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre after the two-hour spectacular. Ms Bell said Jarre "adored Perth" and believed it was a perfect location for his show. The City of Perth will decide on approvals for the event at its council meeting next Tuesday. Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi said the city "loves the idea". "This event potentially brings a greater global awareness to our city," she said. "He has a huge global following." Ms Bell said she hoped the State Government would support the event, which costs millions of dollars to stage.
