  • This is why Jean Michel Jarre is unique among all other artist and performers. By allowing to use his work as a source of inspiration for others, he opens a whole new world of creativity. Jean Michel Jarre is an artist, in the most purest form.

  • Comment removed

  • Nice initiative from Jean-Michel Jarre, not surprise because he is French LoL I say that because I'm french as well and I like to joke. But seriously I have a great Respect for JM Jarre who show one more time that he is a great Artist with Open mind.

  • Mr Jarre is indeed awesome for letting us do this. I'm having a big gripe with Youtube with not allowing covers made by us, why??? What is wrong? I mean its our own creations and we credit the artist for the original music, so why the issues?

    Thanks again Mr Jarre, always a true fan in the true spirit of music !!

  • This is why JMJ is a God

  • More artists should think like you. Because after all, real fans will always buy your music no matter what.

  • Look how cool You are :) much love.

  • Jarre super music...!!!

  • @HeyYouMuppet I'm sorry to say that the Zoolookologie remix is not available to buy. I would have to ask for Jean-Michel's permission first for it to be considered for commercial release. Perhaps some day it can be included on one of his future releases. For now, the remix is only available to hear on the MySpace link at the bottom of my channel description but if you send me a personal message with your email address, I can send you a digital MP3 copy of the track for free.

  • That's what a real musician would do. Thank you, Jean Michel, I'm deeply impressed and amazed at once! Finally YouTube can see that we're all allowed to do anything we want with your music as long as we are fair and credit you.

    I hope my third Rendez-Vous cover will stay alive having this video for the evidence.

  • Mr. Jarre. You are a true musician. I really love your music. I recorded a cover of Oxygene 2. I's on my channel, I'm looking foreward to Essentials and Rarites.

  • Excellent sentiments, Mr. Jarre, I was at your NCH show in Dublin in '08 and was repeatedly asked by ushers to stop videoing (until the last song of course when you very kindly intimated that everyone could either hold up their phones or lighters as a mark of respect to your PA Fiona's Dad, who had sadly just passed away. My videos, of which I have countless (Prince, Yes, Dylan, Young, Waters, Tull, to name but a few) are for personal use only, which you clearly see - bravo for a great attitude!

  • Excellent sentiments, Mr. Jarre, I was at your NCH show in Dublin in '08 and was repeatedly asked by ushers to stop videoing (until the last song of course when you very kindly intimated that everyone could either hold up their phones or lighters as a mark of respect to your PA Fiona's Dad, who had sadly just passed away. My videos, of which I have countless (Prince, Yes, Dylan, Young, Waters, Tull, to name but a few) are for personal use only, which you clearly see - bravo for a great attitude!

  • - Its just a sign of JMJ makes music for the people, and for that my sympathy for this man rises off any known limits, that is such a great gestus of such a great performer. Full respect from here.

  • This happens because parasite companies like WGM. Thanks Jean Michel! And I really hope they learn the lesson.

  • only the King of electronic music would do that!!!!

  • Over the next couple of days he listened to that recording, in bed on his walkman. One track blew his mind. Half way through this synthesiser song, the sound opened up and sounded almost 3 dimensional. That track was Equinoxe 4. Ever since that time, I have been a huge fan.

    JMJ you are, and have been ever since I heard Equinoxe 4 on the radio, an inspiration.

  • OOnce apona time, a 13 year old boy recorded the "500 top singles" off the local radio during the Xmas/New Year holiday in 1986. Although he wasn't listening to the broadcast at the time, he realised that he was recording in mono and swiftly set the recorder into stereo. (continued above)

  • The man is clearly an artist and he lives for his art, not for the commerce of it. Create and share, that's the spirit of a true musician!

    What he's saying is basically the same as a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license for all of his work from now on. Feel free to remix/edit/cover, but give Jarre credit and don't make any commercial work out of it. Kudos!

  • @Stoney3K Well said!

  • excellent!

    mr. Jarre is a good man

  • 10 people don't like this!??!?!?! Are they on DRUGS??!!?

    I'm so moved by this little video - what an awesome artist you are, Jean Michel; not only through your great music, but your willingness to connect with your audience in such an authentic way. I'm impressed.

  • Thanks Mr.Jarre, I hope they don't delete my newest video I spent 100+ hour on.

  • Comment removed

  • Hi Jean. Sorry to hear of Fiona's dad. Nice tribute in Dublin.

    I see you go along with taking video of concert.

    I have an idea regarding camera phone footage.

    Since you agree with the use of cameras I think you are the right person to share this idea with.

    It may drive you crazy but if your intrested let me know.

  • This video-clip raised my respect to JMJ even more. Youtube has allowed creative people to show there talent's. It very fun and inspiring. JMJ is the modern Bach.

  • Great thanks for your wonderful music! Thank you Mr Jarre!!! Long live your music!

  • In your face Metallica!

  • You are a live legend! You and your music insripes me so much. My dream is to make a couple of joint works with you. Or just shake your hand).Hello from Kazakhstan.

  • Τhis is perfect.

    Jarre once more shows that he is ahead of his time.

  • have a look at my video in a concert in munich

  • This is a great idea Jean Michel and I would like to submit my own creative contribution. I have remixed your track Zoolookologie and posted it on one of my web pages.

    I have a link to the track on my Youtube channel. It is at the bottom of my channel description. Please check it out and enjoy.

  • @NeutronStarMusic I just want to publicly say thank you Ben for sending me an MP3 of your music track. You are very kind and true to your word. It is amazing.

  • Jean Michel, you are a one of a kind musician, you are just super.

    Greetings from Holland, the land of the Eminent 310 lol :-)

  • @cvonhout

    Someday I wanna get my hands to eminent synth. Seen videos of it and the sound is almost addictive. Eminent where made to last.

  • @MeBest777 definitely. I picked up my 310 Theatre a while ago and considering its minimal age it's stood the test of time quite well, down to the smallest solderingpoint (well ok, the cableties fell apart).

    The Eminent is actually a string organ, together with the EH Small Stone Phaser and the Electric Mistress Flanger/Delay making the magic sound of the Eminent "synthesizer".

  • Nice Mr Jarre, you're my inspiration for playing keyboards, your a good artist.

  • Comment removed

  • THIS is a kind of musician! Many other artists should take example from JMJ! WELL DONE JMJ!

  • A REAL musician, and not only a commercialist of sounds; of sad egoism. Congratulations Jarre!!! if all the musicians are like you... (sorry for the bad inglish)

  • the way he speaks I would say he is gay but then all french guys would be gay. No disrespect at all, Michel, I love your music!

  • Legend!

  • So the tour over , which were the 3 most creative videos and what was the reward? :-)

  • The tour is FAR from over, He's only covered europe so far! I think toward the end of 2010, after he's done the USA. There is talk of a new studio album too at that time.

  • Alright, cool. I've done it then!

    Merci pour tout.

  • much respect - keep on doin your great work

  • If only more artists were as classy, talented and visionary as he is...the music world and the internet would be a more enjoyable place. Thank you Mr Jarre! You are part of one of the three immortals of modern music and sound today with Vangelis and Enya.

  • This is the best thing I ever heard in my entire life

    Thanks Jarre!

  • Something Special = Play with him

  • That's coooooool !!!!!!!

  • Grand comme artiste, immense comme musique, grandiose comme homme... A quand un "Equinoxe 9-??" ?

  • i have a purpose now !

  • Dear mr Jarre. We WILL keep on playing your wonderful music. And it WILL be done respectfully.Thank you for this video and a most stunning wonderful performance in Århus Denmark. My very best wishes to you for the rest of the tour.

  • I'm so glad to know about this. Jean Michel Jarre forever!

  • Master...!!! 1000 stars...!!!

  • Could jou be more specific?

  • Not only a legend in his own right and a pioneer of modern electronic music, the man is a gentleman too. Very nice to see.

  • That's very gracious of you!

  • Master Jarre you are the best in everything! specially in being a great human being...in fact you are to good to be human.. .Silvia-Buenos Aires Argentina- are you coming to my country sometime?

  • Now that's just about the coolest thing ever! This "modern world" rocks!! =) *thinks back on life.. all the years*. Just look! Jean-Michel, on youtube, talking to us! =) After aaall the listening I used to do to him, those years back in my life! wow =) If you see this, sir, it would be a hilight of my life if I got a comment from you on one of my own vids! Unfortunately, I don't cover your music, I'm just a piano player : )~ (but I DO play "keys" as well). Thank you for all the wonderful music!

  • great man!

  • Well the great entertainer is comming again to Amsterdam the 26th of may.

  • Je ´taime Jean Michel! you are the best in everything! specially in being a great human being...in fact you are to good to be human.. .Silvia-Buenos Aires Argentina- are you coming to my country sometime?

  • I have to say you make awsome music, I remember when I was young and heard your work played on a proper stereo, I mean the type made to make it sound exactly how it should sound. It took my breath away completely and made my stomach churn where it was so amazing. Why don't they use systems like that any more ? Sure confuses me. None of the younger generation has heard anything even remotely close. I've never fogot how good it was. Thank you JeanMichelJarre

  • Jean Michel thank you!

    we appreciate your work!!!!!

  • Good on you Mr Jarre.

  • MR. Jarre. You are so cool. Thanks. Check my covers. I'm realy happy with your message here on youtube.

  • Remarkable artist, remarkable man. It's nice to see the level of appreciation he has for his fans, though the music is more than enough. Just wish he'd get back to North America!

  • Getting old on the outside, but getting immortal in the inside.

  • Hi Jean Michel ! It's been a year since you posted this important commitment.

    I'm announcing your In-doors tour on my video page. I think it's what we should do next, let te people know about your new project. Isn't that right ?

  • ..J-M...Merci

    Fait de la musique et ça irais bien pour nous.

    Tu es le meilleur!

  • I love "backstage" and "comment" videos from Jarre and Jarre's crew :D...

    Excelent works! Regards

  • Dear mr. jarre . I looking forward to see you again in brussels @ 27 may. Somethimes i make a small film with your music and dream what you think about it.

    So... thanks a lot for all your work for 30 years of wonderful music. its create a lot of dreams , feelings and passion of creativity in my photowork.

    Dirk. ( Gent -Gand - Ghent ) Belguim.

    Thank you very much.

  • did he reword those 3 videos, as he said he will ?

  • the koolest musician!!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm a big fan of yours you gave me intrist in composing music for the synthisizer. Wich I like to do.

  • No comments. Simply great!!! I follow you since the very first album and that´s enough...extremely inspiring...your father is a legend and you has become another one...i got an authograph here in Madrid, please come again :-)) by the way, just share with us the secret of your youth...

  • I do not listen to the music that you play, but just allowing people use your music, means that you are better human than others... Thumbs up...

  • Jean-Michel Jarre with your synthesizers you sculpt great music out of sound

    What a genius you are.

  • JMJ is, without doubt, one of the the top ten music innovators of the 20th and now 21st century. He's in the same league as Varese, The Beatles, Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, etc. His work gets better, too!

  • jean-michel Jarre, i just wanna say, that i love your music and it inspires me and my music.

  • and 1 more thing

    i made

    "no name theme"

    plese tell me what you thing of dis theme

    (is in youtube)

  • you are grate we folow you

    you are the best of the universe mister jarre

  • JEAN MICHEL JARRE: "WE LOVE YOU!"

  • Very gracious of you, Jean-Michel and an example for other artists to follow!

    A big THANK YOU!

    C'est très généreux de votre part, Jean-Michel et un exemple à suivre pour d'autres artistes!

    Un gros MERCI!

  • Je tiens à te remercier pour ta générosité.

    C'est un très beau geste envers tes fans.

    À quand ta visite au Québec.

    À la prochaine.

  • I'm jobbing with a remix in Logic pro 8 right now!

  • Bravo ! et merci pour ce cadeau Jean Michel .

  • After you amazing concert in Lithuania, Vilnius 2008/11/25, i try to play Oxygene on my piano. Then results was horrible. Now results are very good. I with my friend play all Oxygene parts (1-6) on my piano. Those videos coming soon!!!!!!!!!

  • no body does my favourite peice like you do equinoxe 5 canot be redone it can be edited and sound good but the best has to be the original

  • jmj your a legend thanks for the music

  • I have been posting remixes, covers and mash-ups of many artists on Youtube and I always give full credits to the writers, performers and copyright ownders of the songs. The only videos I have been ordered to remove have been by Prince and Mr. Jarre. So it is good to hear that the man himself has actually put a stop to this. I think most artists realize that Youtube is no threat to cd/ticket sales - quite the opposite: it keeps the fans excited and interested.

  • Please come 2 Edinburgh! You are a legend Jean Michel!

  • Wow!! Jean Micheal that is very kind of you.I've been a fan of you & your music from way back in the 70's.Keep up the great work.Big respect to you.Many kind regards to you.Cheers.

  • Incredible person...

  • Thanks Jean-Michel,I have been to many of your concerts and it is excellent that you have given your blessing for us to put our videos etc. on youtube.Keep up the good work,even my 2 year old daughter loves your music!!!

  • Hi Jean-Michel. I am one of your fans from Serbia. You met my friends from fun club Ozone in Serbia, after the concert in Belgrade. I didn't know about that meeting and I am so sorry cause I wasn't there to meet you in person. I am very sad because of that, but I think, I will have one more chance on your next concerts, somewhere in Europe.

    Thanks for everything, good music, realy great entertainments and concerts.

    Keep with your good work as always.

    Best regards from Serbia.

  • Finally! A musician who encourages the fans who support him! Good on you Jean Michael Jarre, its a great policy.

  • Thanks Jean Michel Jarre. YouTube and internet is a great medium and gives lots of inspiration and creativity.

  • Thank you Jean Michel! Please let the Hungarian security know this announcement, too!

    I have been your fan since I was 9 that means 32 years now!), too so it is the highest time to meet you in person! See you in Budapest!

  • Thanks Jean Michel!

    Check out my replicas :)

    See You soon in Poland!

    Radek

  • Hi Jean Michel, Darren from Ireland here, missed you in March felt like chewing my foot off for missing the concert in the National Concert hall in Dublin, I have been a fan since the age of nine and my son likes your music, are you planning to come back to Ireland anytime soon?.

    Regard Darren

  • Thanks a lot, Jean Michel. :D

  • OMG. This the most down to earth guy I ever seen. I admired him for his work in Oxigen. But this is far more commending. Thanks to the master. We ought JMP for setting a precedent in the electronic music for being the first one who actually performed orchestrated music fully on Synths.

  • I am sorry, I want to correct myself. Jean Michel Jarre instead of JMP

  • Dziemkujemy ;)

    Thank's for youtube freedom :D

  • thanks a lot, Jean Michel. You are a very special person and your work is an evidence of that.

    Jean Michel, su obra ha trascendido los sentidos, el tiempo y el espacio.

    Gracias :)

  • Ale ich zgasił! Teraz zostawią nasze repliki/covery w spokoju! :D:D:D

  • Thanks, Jarre...

  • KING

  • JMJ is the best.

    My whole family likes you Jean, your melodic music is listened here through the generations.

    And as i can see, you are a wise man too, by encouraging others to use what is already in this world to create somthing new and productive.

    salut

  • Jean, you are a good man. Thank you. And thank you for the wonderful music!

  • Zagadzam się w 100%!!!

  • I am glad I read this as I did a cover version of ox 13 and after I had posted about it i was worried incase wi as going to get into trouible for it..but I did credit JMJ for composieng the track at the end..so hopefully it would be ok..and thanks so much to JMJ for being flexiable about it...and BTW i also like JMJs fathers music as well maurice..JMJ obviously came from a very talented and unique musical family..something special about jeans music tho...even from far back as les granges brulee.

  • Thank you a lot, Jean Michel, for your kind permission. I intended for long time to make a video with space photos on your Oxygene music, and due to this, now is possible. The video is modest, but your music is GREAT ! Thank you again and I'd be overwhelmingly honoured if you'd find time to take a look. Your music is so sublime, vast and majestic as space itself ! My whole gratitude and admiration.

  • sheriffs and bandits lol

  • All of my Family ad friends, love your Work.

    Big hughh

    JGG

  • Wow ! I think you are great Jean Michel Jarre! You are wonderful! I have listened to you since Oxygene! Your music takes me into outerspace . I will be requesting the Stone Mountain Georgia Laser show bring back Oxygene4 . They used to play it to a wonderful laser skit/diagrams. I wish the US citizens were as cool as they were years ago.

  • This is a very noble thing from you.

  • Merci jean michel pour tout ce tu as fait pour nous au maroc à merzouga je n'oublierai jamais cette nuit, et nous attendons impatiemment une autre visite,nous savons tous que vous etes genereux vous avez pensez aussi pauvres tout a été gratuit meme le transport tout ca parceque vous vouliez nous transmettre le precieux message de l'eau, merci 10000++++++fois.

  • He is awesome !

  • the one song i always wanted him to recreate was his 1990 song Calypso from his waiting for cousteau album....it was my total fave song of all his work, well...that and a few others..mainly Magnetic fields pt 1, Chronologie part 2 and Orient Express

  • hehe its really jarre =o

  • set some of destination docklands

  • Bas le chapeaux.

    If it's not like this, how will people remind his work from 80 years after?

    Look at Mozart, he inspired many times from other composers and credited them.

    Well done, Jean Michel.

  • Jean Michel,

    Thank you for the beautiful and creative music you have shared with us all those years and the many more years to come.

  • que hubiese hecho yo sin tu música Jean Michelle?

  • Oxygene 8 is the best sentimental electronic track ever made, and my personal favorite of your beautiful work, Mr. Jarre . Keep on making music !

  • Have been a huge fan since forever and you have just confirmed that not only are you a musical genius but also extremely generous.

    Thank you for some truly special and creative music.

  • oxygen roxx 4ver!

  • Hi:

    Gracias Jean Michel por tu apoyo, y sigue adelante con tu musica.

  • Jean Michel-what a genius and what a great guy for this statement to your fans.

    Your music has always blown me away.Thank you.

  • eres el mejor!! tu música me encanta! ;)

  • Sacré JeanMi, je n'aime pas du tout sa dernière "création" (après tout on ne peut pas tout le temps faire un carton), mais bravo pour ce genre de message qui reste assez rare chez les artistes :)

  • Just wanted to applaud you for making this statement.

    It's nice to see an artist such as yourself welcoming and encouraging fan expression.

    Bravo!

  • jean michel jarre is the man!! what a genius, like mozart ando roger waters....i hope too see you some day....greetings from Colombia

  • Ciao Michel,

    mi chiamo Luca, ho 14 anni ed ho scoperto la tua bellissima musica grazie al gioco GTA 4.

    Alle volte ci gioco solo per ascoltare OXYGENE IV.

    Un abbraccio.

    Luca

  • Thanks for the permission.

    I have made a cover of Oxygene 8 (not ready, though), and will upload it someday (I hope)

    ps..

    Waiting for a new album

  • what a cool guy and I love his music. Thank you Jean Michel Jarre.

  • Hello Jean Michel Jarre!

    I have been following your work since Oxygene and I have composed my own piece Side Xe with the laser harp. This would have never been possible if you didn't make my friend sebastien become a fan of your music and make his own laser harp. And I would never have composed such a piece as Side Xe. I hope you will enjoy it and have me in your TOP 3!

    See you soon hopefully!

    Michael Sean.

  • What a LEGEND!...

  • thank jean michel.....

  • JMJ is very sweet! :D

  • pero ya quiten ese video que no sirve de nada o no ven lo que dicen los comentarios?

  • Hi

    My Oxygene 4 - Mission To Mars Mix was deletet.

    FDM are notify Youtube as protected by Copyright

    :((

  • jarre es mi dios y pnto jarre is my god

  • si si sis por finnn

  • no caigas en la trampa que te lo van a borrar de todas maneras y despues you tube te cancela tu cuenta

  • te voy a quemar

  • Incredible speech , you're the best. ;-)

  • FDM removed 4 of my videos from the Royal Albert Hall gig in London. What can I do to get them back online again??

  • Your the same Kubrick who has been kicked off Jarre sites for causing trouble. A "troll" as the terminolgy goes. Why don't you just go away and play somewhere else. And if you have the time, learn to show some respect.

  • Jarre owns the music itself while Francis Dreyfus Music owns the specific recordings which they have published.

    This means that any fan recording from the Oxygene Tour and any fan cover or remix version of his music, is not FDM's property, but Jarre's property.

    So yes, he CAN allow fan videos. FDM do not have the right to remove these videos, but do it anyway, gambling that nobody will dare to file a counter claim (and expose their personal info to them).

    It's time someone called their bluff.

  • Amen to that

  • Hi Jean Michel

    As of today, depite your YT message here, FDM are still having videos removed from YT. It indeed sad to see this still happening.

    On a positive note, thank you for coming to the U.K with yours and our much loved 'Oxygene'. Hope to see you again soon.

  • Hi JM,

    So despite this great message from you, FDM are removing videos, and causing our accounts to be suspended and defaming our good names. I wouldn't have posted if I hadn't seen the fact that you were sanctioning the posting of video. Would be good to get some clarification? Great show by the way. Thanks. The Rev

  • What a great guy. Thanks for the fantastic concert in Copenhagen 01.04.08!! Come back soon :)

  • They removed mine too. Thank you Jean Michel, and see you at the Liceu in Barcelona :)

  • Francis Dreyfus Music have been quite active in removing videos - which again has caused several YouTube user accounts to be suspended.

    I was myself a victim of these bandits (who pose as sheriffs) when my cover version of Oxygene Part II was removed. But after watching this video, I have re-recorded it and posted it again. Thank you for allowing this.

    Francis Dreyfus Music may hold the copyright for the original recordings (which fan videos are not) but the music itself is thankfully yours.

  • Now that's what I call a musician... open creativity!!

    Jeanmichel I adore your music!!

  • Hi Jean Michel, I saw your London concert at the royal albert hall, also shook your hand outside before you got into your transfer bus (outside with all the autograph hunters - just managed to squeeze through!!) just to let you know it was great to see you and I will not forget this night ever... THANKYOU!

  • What a nice man.

  • Great was your concert on the 25th march in Carré, Amsterdam. I hope you will soon back in the Netherlands.

    Many people making videos with phones and camera's on that evening. Me too.

    I post a video on YouTube.

    But, today I get a e-mail from Youtube: This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Francis Dreyfus Music.

    Why is that illegal? You can't almost see Francis.

    Could you please write me back, please.

    Thank you in forward.

  • Thank you JMJ.

    I'd like to post some of my covers that I had removed from MySpace,but I'm afraid of having them removed or my account deleted.

    Kind regards

    Adam.

  • Thank you very much :) But unfortunatelly FDM still removes our videos... Some of my friends have banned profiles. What should we do now? I would like to insert my covers too, but I'm afraid that they will be remove after few days...

  • Thank you, Jean Michel Jarre! Respect for you!

    But Dreyfus still removed our videos.

    It not fair.

    I salute

    Rafał from Poland

  • I also just want to point out that, and I sure I speak for many other Fans. You are the one reason why I learned to play an instrument, I would have never dreamed of playing keyboards, and composing my own music, until I heard your work, so this video deleting exercise which is going on, is rubbish. I am sure you are proud to see what an influence you have had on our lifes - the fans, and I think it is a bully boy tactic of Fransis Dreyfus, to attack the fans this way.
