Oxymoreworks (CD)

‘OXYMOREWORKS’, is a collection of collaborations with other artists, spanning a broad spectrum of electronic genres. The nine track body of work comprises re-works of tracks from Jarres 2022 album

‘OXYMORE’. Each track has been meticulously composed and produced by Jarre in direct collaboration with each featured artist,resulting in a distinctive new version that showcases the collective artistry of both musicians.

Speaking about the collection, Jean-Michel Jarre said: “OXYMORE held a special place in my heart, as it embarked on a truly unique sonic journey. With the profound joy of collaborating with fellow artists, much like my previous venture, Electronica, I aimed to foster a fresh perspective on my music. I extended my hand to musicians whose distinct talents I believed would infuse an intriguing dimension into each track.
OXYMOREWORKS stands as a testament to the art of collaboration; a vibrant collection of musical dialogues."

OXYMORE was released in October 2022. Conceptually it is his most ambitious and groundbreaking album to date, and the first commercial release of this scale which fully utilizes multichannel and binaural sound (spatial 3D). Jarre produced, composed, recorded and mixed in 360 degree audio in the "Innovation" studios at Radio France.
