I've loved the music of Jean-Michel Jarre since my earliest childhood. In 2017 I created this small album of cover performances as a tribute to him, but also as a gift for my Dad, since it was Dad who got me hooked on this music when I was young.

The aim with these performances was to play live keyboard parts as much as possible, only relying on sequencing when absolutely necessary. Some of them have worked out better than others. There are mistakes and ragged edges here and there.

Oxygene Pt 4 was added to the set in 2018, and was created in a single afternoon using only GarageBand.

Magnetic Fields Pt 1, Equinoxe Pt 4 and Chronologie Pt 6 were added in 2021 using Cubase with HALion and Padshop plug-ins.

Enjoy it!

My own performance of Jean-Michel Jarre's "Oxygene" (part 2). I used a Korg Krome, Roland JV1010 module and a Novation X-Station synthesizer. The drums and arpeggios were sequenced, but I played the other parts live and recorded it all in Cubase.
