Can now also the straight bass drum: Jean-Michel Jarre (expert for everything that sticks)
–
Always stay curious. Like electronics expert Jean-Michel Jarre. The ex-husband of the great actress Charlotte Rampling has just “brought light into the dark tunnel of the corona crisis” (Jarre) – with a terrific, kitschy light show that no EDM DJ in Las Vegas could have imagined more convincingly. Speaking of which: Jarre can also raise his fist very well. My father once played up and down Jarre’s sticky synthetic albums “Oxygène” (1976) and “Equinoxe” (1978). Allegedly I should have danced to it. Jarre himself is now 72 years old, looks freshly lifted and had himself So something crazy came up for New Year’s Eve: While the real musician was hitting the keys and raising his fist alone in his Paris studio, his bright orange avatar was standing at a turquoise mixer in a 3-D model of the recently unfortunate Gothic cathedral Notre Dame. And raised his fist. You have to come to such nonsense first. (msa)
