Jean-Michel Jarre (b. 24 August 1948) is a French composer, performer and record producer. He is a pioneer in the electronic, ambient, and new-age genres, and is known for organizing outdoor spectacles featuring his music, accompanied by vast laser displays, large projections, and fireworks. -- Wikipedia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Ageism

The music of Jean-Michel Jarre,

Which made him a musical star,

Proved records could sell,

And, indeed, very well,

While eschewing the drums and guitar.

Jarring Experience

If there’s not a spectacular light show

You’re probably not at the right show;

There should be collections

Of lights and projections,

And a noisy, but musically slight show.
