    This guy made records, when I was a toddler. Now he looks 10 years younger than me.
  • The guy is a legend, he made me spend lots of money buying synthesisers to play and be like him, I wouldn’t change anything.

    What Jean Michel states, here, should be some major contribution to young keyboardists, or anyone learning or working in the music world: just focus on one or some very few instruments and feel it, live with it, sleep with it, eat with it...avoid as many presets as you can...the start of a 'relation' in a musical sense. Very good message and Jean Michel speaks from the heart, we know that.
  • "JMJ" said it very well: When you start making electronic music, don't let the sheer volume of products overwhelm you. Don't load dozens (or hundreds) of plugins onto your computer, but look for the devices that appeal to you. I really believe that, given the huge number of possibilities, the most important thing is to limit yourself so that you don't get completely lost in the jungle of sounds...
  • @Renzsu
    JMJ's tip of just picking something that you think is cool and sticking with it for 6mo-1y is great. This tip really applies to so many other creative outlets.
  • 9:46 Actually, this is the most precious piece of advice a young EM musician can ever get. Takes so much time to really appreciate this.
  • Love my techno system! Erica synths is one of the best companies out.
  • @k9killer221
    We are so lucky that the key people in electronic music are also philosophers who can explain the music and the technology. Robert Moog was a great communicator, Walter Carlos, Vangelis, and JMJ (obviously) all good explainers of the genre and how it works from a tech perspective. And these people were not fringe; JMJ is the most popular/highest-selling French musician in history.

    Jean Michel Jarre, awesome genius, have all his CDs. I'd love to hang out in his studio!
  • I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF THESE JARRE GARAGE SESSIONS AND JMJ WORKING IN THE STUDIO!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
  • @lost68er1
    Wow! What an honour! The godfather of symphonic-electronic music is testing erica-synth's devices! You've finally arrived in synthesizer heaven!
  • @xsm5525
    I love how he gets asked about ONE thing he would take if he were to live on Mars and by the end of it he's basically like: the entire studio Can't say I blame him though!
  • The DX7 is awesome. A very deep synth if you go beyond the presets. Just ask Brian Eno 😀
  • @silva20049
    Listening to Jean Michel Jarre is to immerse yourself in the infinite space of creation
  • @edenhunter9904
    I wish he could live forever - his advice is spot on for young composers😊
  • @sunilsolanki
    So very happy to see and hear JMJ and him working with you guys at ericasynths. So proud of Girts and Kodek and all that you have achieved. You deserve all the success in the world for your wonderful modules and excellent customer service experiences.
