Jean-Michel Jarre - Amazonia

Columbia - 19439845051

The French composer, performer, producer, visionary, innovator, cultural ambassador Jean-Michel Jarre is recognised worldwide as one of the pioneers of electronic music. His innovative approach to the visual and highly technological staging of electronic music has paved the way for this culture to flourish worldwide. His current catalogue, which includes 21 studio albums, has generated sales of more than 85 million albums worldwide and earned him countless awards and nominations. Jarre has also set records in the Guinness Book of Records for audience size at concerts in several emblematic sites around the world. Throughout his career Jarre played some of the most exciting landmarks around the globe: He was the first western musician ever to be invited to perform in post-Mao China, and has also played the likes of the Great Pyramids in Egypt, The Sahara Desert, The Eiffel Tower and the Dead Sea.

Jean-Michel Jarre has composed and recorded a 52 minute musical score for 'Amaz"nia', a new project by award winning photographer and filmmaker Sebastião Salgado, for the Philharmonic Paris. As well as a regular stereo version, Jarre has also recorded a special binaural version, available digitally and alongside the 5.1. Surround Sound Version available via a download code in the CD & Vinyl. 'Amaz"nia' is an immersive exhibition focusing on the Brazilian Amazon, featuring more than 200 photographs and other media by Salgado. He travelled the region for six years, capturing the forest, the rivers, the mountains and the people who live there, and most of the work will be seen publicly for the first time. At the heart of the exhibit is an invitation to see, hear and think about the future of biodiversity and the place of humans in the living world.
