...Tom Oberheim,Bob Moog — they all more or less stopped.And crazy guys like Mike Matthews, doingall the Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistressflanger and Small Stone phaser pedals.They are absolutely amazing; you can't getthose sounds with virtual effects. Thoseinstruments are part of the mythology ofelectronic music at the same level as theStradivarius, Steinway, Gibson Les Paul orFender Telecaster. A lot of people have onlyseen these synthesizers in photos so it'sa good opportunity to show everybody inthe world of music — and the audience ingeneral — that they should be considered atthe same level as Stradivarius. You have thismythology in rock & roll, obviously you haveit in classical music and jazz, but, apart fromMoog who more or less everybody has heardabout, the other synthesizers are relativelyunknown."This whole thing is a tribute to all thoseguys who created these instruments, withoutwhom I wouldn't be there, you wouldn't bethere and most of the people wouldn't bethere!" It has almost nothing in common. Oxygenecould only have been done with the oldanalogue instruments; that was part of theexperience, and now I want to experimentmore with them."New bands today want FenderStratocasters or Les Paul Gibsons from theearly '60s because they have a differentsound, but it's not a retro attitude, becauseif you take, for instance, a symphonyorchestra violin player, his dream is to playa Stradivarius, made in the 17th century. Itshows that with all the technology we have,no one has been able to make an instrumentof that quality. It proves that building greatinstruments it is not just based on how technologically advanced or sophisticatedyou are."What's really interesting is that we haven'tinvented many new instruments. We havemuch more sophisticated ways of processingsounds or emulating frequencies, but theirony is that virtual instruments are all aboutrecreating the past, right down to the lookbeing behind their computer and want toexpress themselves with a rawer attitude, andwith those analogue instruments you are inexactly the situation of a rock band, whereyou just plug and play."The Future NowNow that Jean Michel Jarre has revived his love of old synths, he is adamant that he willcontinue using them on future projects,and he has some strong views on the prosand cons of today's music technology. "Byplaying with real analogue stuff, you realisehow unique these instruments are. All themusicians and engineers working with mesaid the same thing. Those instrumentsare incredibly rich — no one can beat that.We have fantastic virtual synthesizers andemulations of vintage instruments, and youcan do lots of interesting music with thetechnology, but they are so different youcannot compare them — just forget it! Youcan't compare a 400-kilo Mellotron witha virtual synth that's imitating the look of it.Classic polysynths such as the Memorymoog (top) and Yamaha CS80 were also used in the performance of Oxygene...
