Jean-Michel Jarre
About the event
Jean-Michel Jarre, pioneer of electronic music, takes the stage at AFAS Live Amsterdam as part of ADE. He looks back on 50 years of Oxygène, his influential debut album. A special concert where music history and the present converge. 50 years of Oxygène: a milestone in electronic music
In 1976, Jean-Michel Jarre released his debut album Oxygène. The album changed the view of what music could be: synthesizers as a full-fledged instrument, atmosphere as a means of composition. Oxygène influenced generations of artists and helped lay the foundation for what electronic music would later become. This concert is a retrospective of that legacy, 50 years after the first release.
