Metaphysical Meme and Precog Polyart

Welcome to my heart's desire. I started this journey in 2010. I've come to understand that no United States-based fan organization is currently operating--or if there is, it's well under the radar. Well, that's just wrong. So it is that I'm taking on the challenge of calling all fans and enthusiasts in the States to join me (yet again) in creating a new online group where we can discuss and share and show that yes, there is interest in the United States! If you would be interested in this new project, please contact me at ejconroy778@gmail.com and let's see what we can create!

Talkin' Carthage Blues

I just read a post by the wonderful Kanta Devi, who is on her way to the festival in Carthage.  I replied, "Enjoy yourself for me too, Kanta. This time I actually scraped together the funds to go...only for the American State Department to STRONGLY advise me not to go to Tunisia! I wish I were kidding. Anyway, let me be there through you! Many hugs and much love!"

So here I am, an American citizen, with the will and the means to travel to Carthage for a watershed musical experience, and I will not be there because my government deems it unsafe.  All right, I understand that the situation for travelling Americans isn't ideal, but shouldn't it be my own choice?  Me, personally, I can blend in anywhere, and I've already done so in the past.  I don't want to rock any boats.  I just want to hear some great music.

Where's the visa for the internationally aware?

Jarre Fanatic? Join Us!

I've said before that often's the time I feel like the lone dedicated Jarre fan over here in the wild frontier of the New World.  Well, I've learned that even if that is the case--and it can't be, right?--my mission with this blog and other efforts is to create a place in the Ethersphere where there are no continental divides or political borders.  I'm here to celebrate Jarre and I bet you are too.

To that end, I'm opening up Magnetic Fields Forever to contributors.  All you need is a love of Jarre's music, an interest in Jarre the man, and the willingness to share your thoughts.  Contributors will be able to get an official e-mail account, yourname@mageneticfieldsforever.org .

Additionally, I've begun a Magnetic Fields Forever page on Facebook, where my plan is to gather information and postings that happen to come my way.  You are invited to join.  I would also be happy to share admin privileges!   Find us at https://www.facebook.com/MagFieldsJMJarre .

Thank you, and pleasant dreams of electronic seduction!

Serious? Committed? You Bet Your Aerobooty!

Magnetic Fields Forever has just gone from being yet another blog to having a real identity complete with tech sophisticated address.

This site can now be accessed through http://www.magneticfieldsforever.org !

If this isn't a sign of my renewed commitment and interest, I don't know what such a sign could be.

...and Emilie wanders back into the fray...

Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  Not only am I back at this blog type thing but my mind is percolating with fresh ideas and new confidence.  Notice that in spite of my prolonged absences (still not as long as the time between albums of new music from Jarre, however) I have never abandoned this project.  I'm feeling more like the lone fan out on the savage frontiers of the New World than ever, even though I've made great friends from elsewhere on this planet who have supported my lonely outpost.

I do have a good anecdote, though.  Back in February I had to take my laptop in for some minor repairs.  As I was talking with the tech guys (sweeties) I remembered I had to eject disc 2 of Essentials and Rarities from the machine.  The guys were completely in love with the physical disc, cleverly designed to look like a vinyl record.  You'd think it was the most fascinating innovation since the laptop itself!

Okay, so here we are.  Let's see how things go this time.  Peace!

Jean Michel Jarre Elected New President of CISAC


CISAC Elects Jean Michel Jarre as New President,
Expands Vice Presidency to Four Positions with
Javed Akhtar, Angélique Kidjo, Marcelo Piñeyro, and
Ousmane Sow

Appointments announced today by CISAC following conclusion of
2013 World Creators Summit

WASHINGTON, DC and PARIS, France (June 6, 2013) – In its annual meeting today, held in Washington DC, CISAC (the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers) has officially elected electronic music pioneer Jean Michel Jarre to serve as its new president. Jarre will succeed the late Robin Gibb, who passed away in May 2012, and Hervé Di Rosa, French visual artist and painter who served as CISAC’s acting president for the past year. The organization also expanded its Vice President role to four positions, enabling more territories and repertoire to be represented. These positions will go to Javed Akhtar, one of the most successful multi-platform creators from India; Angélique Kidjo, a Grammy Award-winning artist and activist from the West African nation of the Republic of Benin;Marcelo Piñeyro, an Academy Award-winning producer and director of Spanish-language films; and Ousmane Sow, a revered sculptor from the African city of Dakar in Senegal.


The appointments were announced today by the CISAC’s General Assembly following the organization’s fourth biennial World Creators Summit, the leading international and cross-industry forum addressing the future of copyright and creators’ interests.

The new President and Vice Presidents will act as the voice of the authors’ community worldwide, defending and championing the interests of CISAC, its 231 member societies and the 3 million creators it represents.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jean Michel Jarre and our new four Vice Presidents as we continue striving to create a world where creators can practice their art without fear of being short-changed,” said Kenth Muldin, Chairman of the CISAC Board of Directors. “As creators themselves, all five new appointees are well aware of the issues faced by the creative community, making them ideal candidates to carry on the legacy of our previous President Robin Gibb, who fought tirelessly for creators’ rights throughout his life. We look forward to working with them to continue the work of making his vision a reality.”

“When I first started making music, I never thought my path would lead me to become the head of an organization with such an important mission, and it is a true honor to accept the responsibility of the CISAC Presidency,” said Jarre. “Creators’ rights are up for debate all over the world, and it is our duty to ensure that they are able to maintain their control of and right to be compensated for their own art. I am excited to begin this journey with the rest of the CISAC Board, our new Vice Presidents, and all of our talented members.”

“Jean Michel Jarre is already demonstrating his strong leadership for the international community of creators, and I know he, Javed Akhtar, Angélique Kidjo, Marcelo Piñeyro, and Ousmane Sow will serve us all very well to ensure the voice of the artist is heard in the debate around the policies that most affect our lives. I look forward to working with them closely,” said Hervé Di Rosa. Di Rosa will now serve as the chair of CISAC’s International Council of Creators of Graphic, Plastic and Photographic Arts, CIAGP.

Jarre was one of the first electronic musicians, coming to international fame in 1977 with his smash #1 album Oxygene. The record has sold more than 18 million copies worldwide, and Jarre has gone on to sell over 80 million albums total, including subsequent hits Equinoxe, Magnetic Fields, Zoolook, and Rendezvous. He is also a true innovator in the live-performance space, bringing his music and vision outdoors to the masses. He was the first western musician invited to perform in Post-Mao China, and he has played at the Great Pyramids of Egypt, collaborated with NASA on a Houston City concert in memory of the Challenger space crew, performed for Pope John Paul II, played in front of France’s Eiffel Tower in celebration of the country World Cup victory, and more. Jarre recently embarked on his first-ever world tour, which will took him to more than 30 countries and feature over 220 performances.

Wolf in the Woman

I had a dream of you again.

I cannot stop now. Part of me you have been and part of me you will always be.

You don't know me, but you pulled me back into the waking living world. A tribe of people have helped me come along this slow and dreary course. You are the music of this march into the sunlight.

Now I know the power you have. It is no less than the power of life.

America, Meet Jean-Michel Jarre

One of the Premier Musicians in the World Remains Mostly Unknown in the United States

In my own research I've been able to compile a list of the top ten reactions of American listeners to the music of Jean Michel Jarre.

10. "I'm feeling kind of odd."
9. "Wow. I can actually feel my brain taking shape."
8. "What the hell is this stuff?"
7. "I think I've heard this before, but I can't remember where."
6. "Turn it off. Please, turn it off!"
5. "Tragically new age. Someone's going to attack me with a crystal and a smudge wand any second now."
4. "All right. I'm hooked."
3. "There's no singing. What's up with that?"
2. "This is from some indie movie, right?"
1. "I don't quite understand it, but I like it."

It's no exaggeration to say that Jean Michel Jarre, the dynamic French composer, is the godfather of electronic music as we know it. The great revolution first went international with the release of Jarre's album "Oxygene" in 1976 and Jarre has never stopped. Around the world he's celebrated for his live light and music extravaganzas, many of which have had audiences of one million or more, and his concerts have set and broken world records for number of attendees. Jarre was the first western musician to ever perform in the People's Republic of China. In 1993 he became a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. Jarre gave a free concert as part of the celebration of the wedding of Prince Albert of Monaco in early July. He even has an asteroid'"4422 Jarre'"named after him.

Yet, after all of these accomplishments, after 80 million records sold, Jean Michel Jarre remains largely unknown in the United States. It's not that the American demographic is the do-all and end-all, of course, but in a country where so many different musical styles are loved and enjoyed it's hard to understand how a performer with Jarre's credentials could slip under the radar.


Then again, maybe it's no surprise that Jarre isn't a household name in the United States. He's not particularly controversial, he's not making a fool of himself in public, he doesn't have a reality show or a fashion line (even if many people think he must be a designer based on his name), and his music actually requires the listener to be still and have an experience. He's never released an "Unplugged" album (obviously). For me and my coterie of Jarre fans, these are all positive things. But we're the exception.

Being a United States citizen, I've taken a step back to look at musical artists and the whole industry, wondering how would Jarre fit into the aural matrix. First, I refuse to believe that there's not a clandestine population of would-be fans who have simply never been introduced to Jarre and his work. Heck, I have to think of how I myself was introduced. Basically, my father was and is a Francophile and a French teacher. As he was tapped into the European current, he learned about this amazing new release called "Oxygene" and that was the beginning. Jean-Michel Jarre has been the music of my family's life ever since.

Lots of fans are here but they just don't know it yet. After all, it's not like electronic music isn't wildly popular. I keep bringing up the example of Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails. Reznor has been commercially successful without compromising his art and is widely considered an electronic musical genius in his own right. All of this was capped by his Oscar win for Best Soundtrack for his work on "The Social Network".

All right. As much as it pains me to admit it, looks and personality weigh in big time with American audiences. On this count, Jean-Michel Jarre has the whole package, whether he means to or not. In linguistics there is a class of accents called "plus accents", and for Americans a French accent is tops. Jarre goes one better with his clarity of expression and witty, personable style. I suspect he would easily fall into the American idea of "handsome". Like I said, it's awful that I need to even think along these lines, but it's the nature of the beast. On the other hand, if you've got it, flaunt it.

Finally, another thing to consider is the vast desert the music industry has become. This is the perfect time for the new--even if it's actually old. A new way of listening is like finding a new way of thinking, a new way of looking at the world. For us in the States, Jarre is not only something different, but it's nourishing, the encouragement to maybe reach beyond the limits we've set for ourselves.

Getting Jarre to bring his live spectacular to the United States is another matter.
On April 5, 1986, Jean-Michel Jarre performed a legendary concert Rendez-Vous Houston: A City in Concert. The futuristic skyscrapers were the backdrop for a spectacular light and laser show which accompanied the concert. This concert had an entry in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest outdoor "rock concert" in history, with figures varying from 1 to 1.5 million in attendance. Rendez-Vous Houston celebrated the astronauts who had been lost in the Challenger disaster only two and a half months previously. Astronaut Ron McNair, a personal friend of Jarre, had been killed in the disaster. He was supposed to play the saxophone from space during the track "Last Rendez-Vous"; his substitute for the concert was Houston native Kirk Whalum. The event marked Houston's 150th birthday and NASA's 25th anniversary.

2011 marks 25 years since the Houston concert, and Jarre has not made a return visit. I've read some of his remarks about America being old fashioned and completely disinterested in his art and performance. I don't agree. I think the problem is that Jarre's music has no popular outlet in the United States. People who are fans were probably introduced to the music by other fans. But where would fresh listeners get to sample the Jarre experience left to their own devices?

Of course there are American Jarre fans already, but consider this an open invitation. Plug "Jean Michel Jarre" into your favorite search engine and find the various opportunities to listen to his music that are online. Who knows?

UPDATE: I Seem to Be Back

The new fan experience in the United States, which we're calling JarreFan USA-International (as it's open to everyone everywhere) has taken a definite shape with a network of Jarre fans from all parts of the States and our partners abroad.

"Magnetic Fields Forever" is the name of our website (in progress) as well as any
fanzines or publications created by the group.

We declared our existence and our purpose (to celebrate Jean Michel Jarre with the rest of the world) this past July 14, "La fete nationale". We're aiming to have the website and all of its goodies working by Jarre's birthday, August 24. Okay, so maybe this is too adorable...

Anyway, we're taking ideas, contributions, membership requests, whatever you can imagine at jarrefanusa@novemberwolf.com and remember that you don't have to be from the US to help bring a US presence into the world of Jarre fandom!

We're getting there!

Essentials and Rarities Review

From playgroundmag.net

Jean Michel Jarre has always been a hard one to crack in the underground, as the memories of his excesses, especially those concerts in front of over a million people and his omnipresence in the eighties, still weigh on us heavily. In fact, even today, his music is seen as an extension of the worst commonplaces of progressive rock, the stuff that punk sought to eradicate: the symphonic, the epic, the virtuoso complacency, the passivity instead of angst, and even a certain scientific optimism close to new age, which is now strangely out of fashion. However, over the past few years there have been cautious attempts to revaluate certain aspects of his production, in the first place with the first wave of cosmic synths led by Lindstrøm, but most of all after the revolution caused by hypnagogic pop. A very clear example was given in a very funny article in The Wire, where Savage Pencil described how “hypnagogic kids” (sic) were flooding the secondhand stores to buy old Jean Michel Jarre vinyls.

The first CD of this double compilation album focuses on the most triumphant part of his career, and not one of his hits is missing, even to the point where it seems too obvious a selection, mostly because there already are a lot of other compilations with very similar tracklists. I suppose it’s a strategy to make the second, much more interesting part more attractive commercially, but in any case, it’s quite revealing to hear those compositions again after a few seasons of listening to artists like Stellar Om Source and Oneohtrix Point Never. Without a doubt, more than one of Jarre’s ideas have been used in hypnagogic pop, although with less grandiloquence and more darkness.

But, as said, the second part of the CD is the truly interesting one. It’s a collection of tracks from albums and singles prior to “Oxygène” (1976), which show quite a different side to the French musician. While it was known that Jean Michel was a student of Pierre Schaeffer in his Groupe de Recherches Musicales (Musical Research Group), it was almost an insignificant piece of information due the fact that the music he made under the influence of that group drew hardly any attention at the time and that, until now, few people had heard it, which made it hard to evaluate the true importance of his episode as a student of one of the pioneers of electronica and concrete music.

The excellent “Happiness Is A Sad Song” is a surprising opening to the second CD, a song made especially for an art exhibition, that shows Jarre as a good student of Schaeffer, completely immersed in the sound of the GRM and getting the best out of it. It’s not bad at all, as a starting point for his career. A big part of what follows shows an embryonic Jarre, experimenting in different fields, like prog, on the delicious “Hypnose”, on which his preference for the grandiloquent melody that has characterised the better part of his work is already showing. “Erosmachine” and “La Cage” were on a 7” that is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting rarities of this collection. It’s a single that would now most likely be released by Ghost Box. The two songs are spot on, from the meticulous sonic design in stereo and the oppressive tone of “Erosmachine” to the rhythmic exploration and abrasive sounds of “La Cage”.

The rest of the selection focuses on the two albums prior to “Oxygène”: the soundtrack of “Les Granges Brûlées” and “Deserted Place”, an album of library music constructed basically from a Farfisa organ and an EMS synthesiser. Of the two, the most interesting moments are on the latter, as the first is somewhat more functional, despite its trademark melodic attractiveness. Those melodies have a very Ghost Box-ish flavour to them on “Windswept Canyon”, of which the placid tone is accompanied on several occasions by a bubbling rhythm and the abrasive character of the sound of the wind mentioned in the title. Many of the tracks off “Deserted Place” are short, as they should be, because it’s library music, but there are also some interesting, albeit failed, experiments, like the upbeat “Rain Forest Rap Session” or the dismissible “Music Box Concerto” and “Iraqui Hitch-Hiker”. The songs from “Deserted Place”, in general, show Jarre as hesitant and irregular, but eager to try out different ideas with a more Spartan aesthetic than what he would do later on in his career.

“Essentials & Rarities” is, therefore, an inconsistent but opportune compilation, as it allows us to clarify his little-known beginnings at a time when his music is on the rise again, thanks to hypnagogic pop and the new cosmic sounds.

My Bad

I guess I'm apologizing to myself more than to anyone else. Things have gotten a little bumpy lately and I haven't been posting here as much as I'd like to. However, I want to credit my copy of "Essentials and Rarities" for helping me get through what's been kind of a rough time. But things are looking up, and I hope to have much to share about the "Princely Wedding" in Monaco and Jarre's jaw-dropping free concert in celebration at Port Hercule!

Euronews Partnership

For the first time in its history, euronews is becoming a partner with a major figure of the music world to create a unique alliance between an international news channel and a world-renowned artist.

An extraordinary alignment of the stars must have brought about this surprising, yet natural joining of forces. The international news channel, euronews, and the world-renowned musician, Jean Michel Jarre, have decided to work together to cover a series of events, uniting their respective talents and know-how.


All Rights reserved

euronews and Jean Michel Jarre gravitate in similar directions, using the strength of images projected on the international stage. They also share common roots in the city of Lyon where Jarre was born and where euronews was established in 1993.

euronews will now accompany the artist on his European and global tours in the coming years.

The channel will be covering the release of Jean Michel Jarre's albums, including the upcoming "Essentials & Rarities," available as of Monday, 30 May 2011.

euronews will also participate in Jarre's European tour which will soon take him to every corner of the continent

Jean Michel Jarre and the teams of Euronews are exploring a whole range of collaborative projects on themes such as innovation in images, sound, the media and emerging technologies.

No Comment Live at the concert in Monaco

euronews will give a live, exclusive broadcast of the concert by Jean Michel Jarre for the wedding of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock on 1 July. The show will be rebroadcast on a special edition of the channel's emblematic programme, "No Comment Live," and on all of its media platforms. From the event preparations to the live concert at Port Hercule and the ceremony, euronews will for the first time in its history create a real media event with complete coverage of the princely wedding. The build-up in the week before the celebration and highlights including the concert will be detailed in an upcoming press release by the channel.

About the partnership, Jean Michel Jarre said, "I always watch euronews during my frequent travels around the word. I genuinely appreciate the channel and feel a close connection with the values it defends: pure information, without distortion, factual analysis and a comprehensive perspective on the world. For me, it is an incredible resource for sharing and a platform for my European projects."

Michael Peters, Managing Director of euronews, explained, "The contact with Jean Michel Jarre has convinced us that an international news channel like euronews can venture into new territory by creating such an original partnership. We have found a synergy in the uniting of two different worlds and euronews is proud to accompany Jean Michel Jarre and his team on their worldwide audio-visual explorations."

How Do I Say It In "American"?

Kind of a funny story. Indulge me.

My poor father has been searching for a replacement vehicle (new car sounds so materialistic). Since 1985 he has driven nothing but Chrysler minivans, and has sworn by them as the most efficient cars around. Unfortunately, the minivan is going by way of the dodo. My dad would just get another of what he has know if he could, but it's not an option.

So we've both been researching minivan-like vehicles for months. Finally, he's starting to like the Chevrolet Equinox (that's the tie in). But after more than thirty years of using the French version in his speech because of Jarre's Equinoxe I'm having to train him in saying the word in a way our local car dealing folks will understand.

But there's no way around it. "Equinox" just looks strange to us. "We can fix it," I told him. "We'll get a stick on metallic 'e' to the name and have the only Equinoxe in the neighborhood."

From The Jelling Festival

Jean Michel Jarre, scene, Jelling Music Festival, Sunday 29th May

He is now a tragicomic figure him Jean Michel Jarre.

As the Frenchman appeared in Gl Vrå in 2002, sat all 1000 cars stuck in the mud of North Jutland, and when visionaries who headlined closed Jelling with a midnight concert, stood just a few thousand of the 50,000 festival wellies left in the South Jutland slipped.

The site was abandoned after three days of rain heavy hardships, and those who were to experience eccentrics, spurting the water for a few mud smeared sneakers because they found out that Jarre behaved like a lunatic scientist who had swallowed a glass of Prozac.

No blinding

The veteran show closed airspace over Jelling because of his laser light was a threat to flight safety, but blinding was the few rays now not straightforward, and it is probably doubtful that alarmism could have many garden birds to roam uncertain of its wings. Rather, it was a threat to good taste.

ALSO READ: JEAN MICHEL JARRE CLOSE JYSK SKY

Although the somewhat Altmodisch and quite completed scenography possessed a certain geeky charm, so you can not say the same about music.

A bygone era

62-year-old Jarre has a few catchy themes, but his New Age-like naivete of a bygone era sounded hopelessly obsolete, and if we compare with Kraftwerk, the electronic composer does not match the Germans' cool format and different classic sound.

Jelling Music Festival anno 2011 was despite the circumstances actually a tolerable game, though neither will be remembered for Jarre, his idiot good tones or long neon tubes, but for rain, rain and again rain.

Jean Michel Jarre is famous - and infamous in the North - for its spectacular concerts, and after the mud disaster in Gl Vrå in 2002 is now mad again with visionaries from Lyon.

ALSO READ: 1000 CAR overtaken FREE AFTER Jarre CONCERT

Sunday, he is headlining the Jelling Music Festival, and because of the Frenchman's intense laser light, which appears to be a hazard to flight safety, so close the air space just above Jelling two hours Sunday evening in a "corridor of 18 times 18 km.

- There sits a man out of Billund Airport and directing aircraft around Jelling, says festival spokesman Thorkild High to Ekstra Bladet.

The third biggest

Jelling Music Festival over the years has evolved into the country's third biggest festival after Roskilde and Skanderborg, and there are only few partout tickets back to the year edition.

25,000 spectators will over the weekend could see Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye, and among many others LOC, Nik & Jay, Black Sun and not least Jean Michel Jarre.

Mediacrity?

JEAN MICHEL JARRE, the French musician who pioneered electronic music with his album Oxygene 25 years ago, plans to perform a concert powered totally by wind, writes Maurice Chittenden.

The synthesizer player, who has played to millions of people by taking over whole cities for extravagant light and sound shows, will rely on energy from 45 windmills.

The event, planned for a wind farm near Aalborg in Denmark next spring, will include displays by wind surfers and giant projections of pictures of windmills. Carlsberg and Tuborg, the lager companies, have been involved in negotiations over possible sponsorship.

The concert for 50,000 people aims to raise more than £1m for charity and will be filmed for future broadcast.

Jarre, 53, once married to the British actress Charlotte Rampling, said: "When talking about the wind, people nearly always state what damage it can cause. However, through the music I am composing specially for the show, it will express how we can use the wind in our favour.

"Both the wind and water are elements that go back to the creation of Earth. The element of water has been used a lot by artists for many years. However, very little has been done using the wind."

Jarre, who ate nothing but beans on toast for two weeks on his first trip to Britain on a school exchange 40 years ago, said: "When you are a passenger on an aircraft you can see light and the wind as the plane rises. Thousands of images are conjured up in your mind. The wind will be the engine and the heart of the concert."

The performer, who has sold more than 50m albums, took over London’s emerging Docklands 13 years ago for a spectacular show of lasers, fireworks and images projected on buildings. Hank Marvin of the Shadows joined him on stage and the concert was watched by the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

He has since performed similar concerts in Houston, Beijing, Paris and Moscow, playing to 3m people in the Russian capital in what was claimed to be the biggest ever rock concert. He celebrated the millennium with a show at the pyramids.

If JMJ had gone into designing bumperstickers...

Is that a Moog in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Real men wear pink.

My other keyboard is a VCS3.

Cover me. I'm changing tempos.

Virgos do it first. Virgos do it best.

A man with a laser harp knows no boundaries.

I'll spell "Oxygene" any damn way I want!

Concerts around the world and still no place to park.

Nope. THAT part is not mechanical.

Don't get older. Get better!
