Touring Jean-Michel Jarre's Studio In Paris

Video:

Great video! Also interesting: the last thing he says about the last keyboard: "I've used this on Oxymore but also on another project I'm working on"

the video is good, but if Jarre had been able to make us hear the sound of the instruments it would have been better.

Yes, great video but I agree it would have been nice to hear the sounds too.

Does anybody know how long he's had this studio? And where exactly in Paris is it?

How many studios has he had before this one? If we go back to the 1970s, he had the "kitchen studio" in his apartment on Rue de la Tremoille (?) that he famously used to compose and record Oxygene in. Was that also used for Equinoxe? Or had he moved out by then, off the success/money from Oxygene?

Then, of course, for most of the 1980s and 1990s, there was the Croissy studio (later renamed the Oxygene Studio?) but when exactly did he stop using that? Was Oxygene 7-13 the last album to be recorded there?

And then in the 2000s onwards, what next? Was the first album recorded in his current studio Electronica?

Also, I've always loved JMJ's style - it's been inspirational! - but black Stone Island cargo pants do NOT go with a distressed brown leather jacket

He's used it at least since Teo & Tea, so probably around 2006.
It's based in Bougival, 15 km from the center of Paris.

He had the "Jean-Michel Jarre Private Studio" for Oxygene and Equinoxe (https://www.discogs.com/label/294338-Je ... ate-Studio). After that he did all his work at the Croissy Studio (https://www.discogs.com/label/266705-Croissy-Studio) and now he's at the JMJ studios (https://www.discogs.com/label/280187-JMJ-Studios)

Fab - thanks for the info!

Probably Oxymore remix-collaboration...or Electronica 3 ?
