Listen to Jean-Michel Jarre x Brian Eno’s “EPICA EXTENSION” here: https:// View the visualizer at: “When I started ‘EPICA,’ I immediately thought that Brian Eno could be involved in this most rhythmic track of the album, thinking that he could bring his signature ‘ambient’ touch in reworking the track – another kind of oxymoron,” shares Jarre. “…but he told me that he was most interested in developing rhythmic ideas these days…and here is the beautiful, ghostly, unexpected result. Thank you Brian.” The original “EPICA” track appears on Jarre’s album OXYMORE crafted as a tribute to the French roots of electronic music which has had a major influence on the music production of the genre over the years. OXYMORE is also an homage to the late French composer Pierre Henry, an iconic figure in electronic and classical music, and one of Jarre’s influences at the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) where he studied. Since his death in 2017, Henry’s widow provided Jarre with original sounds which had been intended for use in this collaboration.

It's a genuinely new medium with infinite creative potential.” - Sound on Sound “A controlled, raw and festive bacchanal of sound.” - Rolling Stone “…Jarre only looks to the past to tap into ideas that he can reimagine in the most futuristic way. This is what he has done with Oxymore, the 22nd album of his half-century-spanning career. Out today (Oct. 21), Oxymore is built upon stems and samples from one of Jarre’s early mentors, Pierre Henry, the godfather of France’s musique concrete movement, under whose tutelage at Paris’ legendary Groupe de Recheres Musicales Jarre cut his electronic music teeth.” - Billboard “A revolution in sound.” - Technikart “Ever the innovator, Jean-Michel Jarre’s desire to shape the future leaves little room for nostalgia” “A sonic adventure best enjoyed solo with very good headphones.” – Mojo “…Jean-Michel Jarre has been innovating electronic music and the way we interact with it.
