Hmm, francis talks about "no sequencers". So... will that mean that this concert will be played real?

[Jakob BC]

At first I didn't think about that, but it deffinately sounds promising and interesting. Still I have nothing against sequencers. This nonsequencer playing could also be some practising, but know I walk the guessing line again.

Francis has posted on SOF forum:

Tuesday evening the "TEAM" was working in JMJ'Studio (Patrick Pelamourgues,Claude Samar,Jean Michel Jarre and me!)
Patrick was working on the "time code "of the show;This is very important because all the light design must be in synchro with what we are playing on stage.
Claude Samar was writing the last arangments for the "local "musicians and I was with my partner in another room with all our keyboards.
I like very much those moments when we forget the sequencers and we play and improvise together;Let JMJ try to find some new sounds,ambient pads and strange percs for the very next show!.It was 3 oclock in the middle of the night when we have stopped our improvisations!:)
Thinking that in a future album we will use this method of work!

A great night indeed....
Now we have to play and play the track listing of Maroc.....
See you soon.

Thanks

In another post FR talked about the use of programmed bass parts, but that doesn't mean they use less pre-sequenced stuff. :mryellow:

Translation :

But this concert will certainly be very different of other because of a revisited scenography....

Very nice updates from a very kind mr. Francis Rimbert.
Thanx for the translation Nico. I really think that you was pretty close there after all...

[Nico_Noyau]

IS it "scenography" ? :mryellow:
Babelfish gave me it as my dictionnary didn't understand that word

[jp8000]

it is a "perspective drawing"

[Velodynamic]

Well how can a concert possible be "very different of other" if it's a "revisited" scenography??
There for it sounded a little funny against me.

[Nico_Noyau]

A reworked scenography, I would say instead so

[Jakob BC]

I think I remember they released such photos about how the stage was goinf to look like some time before a concert.

[GeeJee]

Perhaps they are keeping it a secret on purpose...

[Robi]

Good work for them!

If they work till 3 o'clock in the morning (night instead) then they CAN work very creatively. Good that JM intend to improvise more!

[Nico_Noyau]

And we have here an other point :
The forthcomming album won't be the last album of JMJ !!!!

[Jarp2600]

Hey, indeed!
