The producer, musician and French composer Jean-Michel Jarre is one of the recent signings of Sonar 2016 festival which will be claimed as a pioneer in the use of synthesizers, samples and electronics archeology. The author 'Rendez-vous' return to Barcelona after passing in 1993 by the Olympic Stadium and in 2008 by the Liceu to present an audiovisual show developed from "Electronica 1: The Time Machine," his latest work.
"For me, Sonar has become everything a modern festival should aspire to be. From his impeccable urban setting that is as effective production, Sonar has been able to build a reputation on the continent and elsewhere to embrace some of the more exceptions shows of all genres. That's why I chose to mark Sonar my comeback and I'm really looking forward to my new show brand there, "explains Jarre himself in a statement sent by the Barcelona festival.
Sonar have announced further additions to the already considerable line-up for the Barcelona event in June. The festival will play an exclusive worldwide premiere of the new live show by Jean-Michel Jarre. His all new show will feature greatest hits from his long career, as well as material from his two new records, produced in collaboration with artists such as Robert Del Naja, Air, John Carpenter, M83, Boys Noize, Julia Holter, Gary Numan and Fuck Buttons, among others.
Also added to the line-up are 7 hour sets from Four Tet and Laurent Garnier, DJ sets from Jackmaster, John Talabot and further live sets from James Blake, Flume and Roots Manuva.
