Father of synthpop, Jean Michel Jarre, is coming to Glasgow for a performance at Braehead Arena in October, 2010.
Widely regarded as a pioneer in the electronic, ambient and New Age genres, Jean Michel Jarre first gained mainstream success in 1976 with the solo album “Oxygene”. Although he already had several completed works, “Oxygene” was responsible for his rise to international stardom, attaining a spot at number 2 in the UK album charts. The album consisted of 6 numbered tracks, of which Oxygene IV is probably the most well known.
His subsequent albums throughout the 80′s and 90′s mostly charted high in the UK charts, with “Revolutions” in 1988 also reaching number 2 in the UK album charts. But his music paved the way for a brand new genre, of which we can still see influences in many current artists including Air, Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers.
In addition to the success and popularity of his albums, the French composer, performer and music producer is famous for producing absolutely astounding live performances. Jarre’s record breaking live shows have included start of the art lighting to fully realise his ambitious music.
The current 2010 tour debuted six months ago to full houses in the United Kingdom, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Holland, Poland…and to audiences of all generations. It has been named after the title of the novel by Sir Arthur C. Clarke, whom Jean Michel Jarre wished to pay tribute to.
Jarre is a performer that has to be witnessed live so make sure you don’t miss out on this opportunity…
