Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 11:05 am
Tangerine Dreams founder, Edgar Froese gives credit to Jean Michel Jarre (and Vangelis) in his latest interview with "The Quietus".
When asked if he considers himself a more European artist. . . .
"If there is a true possibility of creating modern synthesized music without any mental barriers, I would consider myself as one of the strongest followers of such movement. It doesn’t matter if you call it Pan-European or Anglo-American or Contemporary Asian artistic development – it is always world music if you’re willing to follow not just the ethnic term. As far as Vangelis and Jarre are concerned, I’m of course familiar with what they’ve done during their career. For their serious approach towards an individual musical expression, I respect them a lot."
