It's a shame that this remaster seems to be so bad... Oh well, at least the quality is consistent with the other remasters since 2014... While adding a poster is nice, since it's folded it's not very good for displaying. I would have preferred that they add A4-ish reproductions on nice paper of all ...
Here you go... (spoiler: not much information in his statement, only the obvious) "Ah yes, I think that it's only with football, and maybe also in some cases with music, with large crowds, that we can experience such things, when we feel connected beyond any other context [sic] and I think that...
Since you guys mentioned Souvenir de Chine... There is an interesting studio version with different arrangement and textures (very likely a demo) that can be heard for about 2 minutes in the background (but clearly) during an interview of Christophe in 2016 on RTL, where he speaks a bit about his wo...

I'm 99% sure this mix is simply album playback.
Yes, I think so too. Especially because of the fade-ins / fade-outs. There might have been a few live effects here and there but that's about it. Nice presentation nonetheless.
Well, that was slightly different than the January concerts. Just to add to the list of visual differences: - This time there were no "empty rooms" (those rooms with no apparent walls / floor / ceiling. In January there were 2 or 3. - This time there was a concert hall / theater. - This t...
Yes, that could be interesting, thanks! I can upload a rip of the first disc, then you can see what you can do with it. If you'd like to actually proceed I can then upload a rip of the second disc. I will try to upload in the next few days and will let you know - bear with me, it's going to be a bus...
It could be a private pressing, but I doubt it. They wouldn't have bothered with a barcode, and wouldn't have printed a description of the show on the back. Also the sleeve is professionally printed, it's not from a personal inkjet or laser printer. As for the video quality, it's not great - it seem...
A while ago I saw a bootleg DVD of 12DOTS on a flea market. I bought it for giggles as I had never seen that one before (and neither afterwards). Has anyone seen this? It's a 2 DVD-R set in a regular DVD case. While not pressed, this looks somewhat "professional", as a label is printed on ...
Newspaper Le Monde has an article about Vangelis's death. JMJ is quoted in it. "it's a shock and a great loss for the world of music in general, film music and history of electronic musics, of which he was one of the pioneers" said French composer Jean-Michel Jarre to Agence France-Presse ...
Members were the "staff" of GRM: musicians / instructors. For example: Pierre Schaeffer, François Bayle, Bernard Parmegiani, etc. at the time JMJ studied there. And, earlier on, Luc Ferrari, François-Bernard Mâche, Beatriz Ferreyra, Iannis Xenakis, etc.
Interesting comment by Michel Chion. But he might have read the Festival's PR blurb too literally... Those blurbs are typically not written by whom they are about and are hyped up. JMJ never said he was a member of GRM, merely that he studied there. He never said he met Stockhausen at GRM, he said h...
