You are right, …
You are right, synth hardcore at its best. I just wonder where he got all the money to buy this kit back in the 70’s. This stuff was not cheap.

Well put. It takes a good man behind the machine to get a good result.
Thats why i …
Thats why i appreciate his music even more nowadays. Because it took alot more effort and time back in the 70’s to make this recording with equipment regarded nowadays as primitive.
I wonder if he knew back then that his music would be years ahead of its time.

He speaks English with a French accent but very well
Don’t write off …
Don’t write off laptops, not everyone can afford to buy synth hardware. Give hardware synths to the crap electronic musicians and they will still be crap. Give a laptop and a midi controller to Jarre and he’d probably be as good as ever.

jean michael jarre is one of the best music sintetizer in the world nice video very very nice 70`s sintetizers

I’m pretty sure that is a theremin. You also hear it on Oxygene III. True theremin sounds can be simulated with other synthes but I don’t know how good that was back when the album was originally recorded. He could have done it with another synthe for the new version though. What I wouldn’t give to get my hands on a few of those. Is the Synthi AKS only an SFX sort of synthesizer or can you make actual music with it?

He did use a theremin on Oxygene didn’t he? I have the original album and I could swear there was a theremin part in Oxygene I.

Vsts and laptops are the reason why most electronic music sucks nowdays. And why would anyone pay to see a gig where someone press play on laptop ?

I think one of the most fascinating things about JMJ is that his arrangements of instruments on stage look more like something out of NASA mission control rather than a music concert.

You’ll find them on eBay every now and then. Search for “Moog Liberation”. If you’re lucky you’ll get one for less than $2000 but don’t count on it.

The AKS is about 24″X24″ and it has just round knobs on it. A very little display area and that is it. Most of these are just an array of knobs. He has a very intersting keyboard that is about the size of a wall piano but it is curved so the keys are a lot longer and looks very ergonomic!

I was convinced for years that the sound at 1:27 was a theremin!
