The story beyond Eōn
« EON » is an ancient Greek God associated with Time & Eternity.
The « time » represented by EON is infinite and unbounded in the sense of «ages» and «forever».
In cosmology, geology or astronomy, EON is often used in reference to a period of a billion years…
I named this project EŌN, as it best defines exactly what it is – an infinite musical and visual creation, which offers each individual a unique experience on its primary support as an App: on each device, and on each launch of the EŌN App, you will hear and see a unique ever-evolving orchestration of the music & the visuals. EŌN is a never ending, never repetitive, organic art-piece that will live & grow forever in everyone’s own singular space-time continuum, at the tip of their finger.
Here, in this limited edition box-set, I wanted to share with you two early audio snapshots that I recorded during the first tests of the music creation and one third snapshot created later on, only few days before the release of the App (on CD 2).
Personally, I truly feel that EŌN is probably one of my most exciting creative projects since Oxygene. I always wanted to create a music specific for each listener and which could constantly evolve. Here it is. EŌN is conceived & composed for your own eternity!
I had a very clear idea of the organic, living visuals I wanted to accompany my music creation, and I was very lucky to have spent some time in Tokyo at Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc (Sony CSL) where I found Alexis André and his singular visual world. Sony CSL with Alexis have conceived and developed an algorithm generating the endless flow of ever-evolving graphics, which like the music is never ending, nor repetitive. All the illustrations included in this box are visual snapshots of Alexis’ creative graphic work.
The algorithm and audio engine that orchestrate the music of the EŌN App have been engineered by Alexis Zbik & Vianney Apreleff from BLEASS after we defined the rules of the system together.

Snapshots from EōN
This limited edition box-set is comprised of singular «one-moment-in-time» audio snapshots personally chosen by Jean-Michel Jarre in the process of the musical creation of his infinite music app.

However, here, in this exclusive & limited edition Box, I felt compelled to «freeze» some of my personal favorite music moments during the entire creative process ; audio snapshots that neither of us will never ever hear again….as EōN, the App, produces my composition in the form of infinite, ever evolutive music, abundant in variations. Now, whilst this could seem frustrating, given how us musicians & composers have been making music since the beginning of time, always with a start & finish note, the magic of EōN is that it lives its own always-unique orchestration, on every device, upon every launch – so inside this Box, I just selfishly wanted to capture a few audio snapshots for my own posterity… Which you happy few also get to share !

The "Snapshots from EōN" box is out this Friday. Can’t wait to discuss it with you and answer some of your questions during the Facebook livestream tomorrow at 7pm CET. You still can submit questions here.
Due to the present Covid-19 sanitary measures, Record Store Day 2020 (“Disquaire Day” in France) initially planned for this Saturday April 18th, has been postponed to June 20th. Yet, these very special times & lockdown can also be used to lend our minds to more creative endeavours and making music is a great way to uplift spirits! With this in mind, Jean-Michel Jarre imagined a remix contest from his latest creation, “EōN”, commencing this weekend on the initial date of Record Store Day, ending on June the 10th, with winners publicly revealed & announced on new RSD June 20th.
For this special occasion, the price of the EōN app will be dropped from $8,99 (9,99€) to $5,99 (6,99€) on this Saturday the 18th. You can download EōN for iPhone or iPad from the AppStore here: http://bit.ly/EoNbyJMJ

EōN REMIX CONTEST
With Record Store Day postponed from what would have been today until -hopefully- June 20th and instead everyone at home with time on their hands, I would like to announce a Remix Contest for the EōN project. It will run from today with a special price on the EōN app that you need to take part to share your EōN moment. There is also a solution for those using Android.
I will listen to every Remix submitted and personally select the 3 most musical and creative remixes. There are some fantastic prizes to be won too.
This way these very special times & lockdown can also be used to lend our minds to more creative endeavors and making music is a great way to uplift spirits.
Very much looking forward to your creative outcome.
Visit www.jeanmicheljarre.com for all details and good luck!
