Jean-Michel Jarre published the official video for his brand new single “Brutalism,” the fist new music from upcoming album “Oxymore,” which will be released through Sony Music on October 21, 2022. Watch the video through the Youtube player below:
“That’s definitely a heavier track,” explains Jarre. “I wanted to create an apocalyptic mood. Like a kind of big bang of Berlin techno, at the beginning when it was an explosion, that kind of feel, maybe due to the remains of the war.“
Oxymore‘s conceptual creation builds on the immersive qualities of its 2021 predecessor “Amazônia,” which provided the soundtrack to Sebastião Salgado‘s exhibition of the same name. This time, the creative process was road-tested in an exclusive 360 concert for a small number of fans. The finished album is also a binaural recording – ie. it was tracked using two microphones to give the music a 3D feel when listened with headphones.
