Oxymore
Oxymore is a project album by Jean-Michel Jarre with the stems from the late Pierre Henry, an iconic figure in electronic music and classical music in France, and one of JMJs teachers at the Conservatoire de Paris where he studied.Â
In a musical journey where Pierre Henry’s unpublished sounds dialogue with Jean-Michel Jarre’s new composition in a game of mirrors, the creator of Oxygène finds his inverted doppelganger in Oxymore, opening a vortex that sucks us into an anachronistic back-and-forth where analogue and digital find a common playground. Not limited to a recorded musical composition,
Oxymore was conceived as an immersive work in Radio France’s innovation studios in a multi-channel and binaural version declined as a physical 360 concert, presented as a world premiere during the Hyper Weekend Festival, within the walls of Maison de la Radio in Paris in January 2022.
