Jean-Michel Jarre tells how he composed for franceinfo, radio, television and the web
A sound design heard by listeners, viewers of channel 27 and Internet users with the franceinfo application. It's the sound of a news channel surge celebrating its 5th anniversary in the form of "global media". And this “push”, which interrupts information alerts several times a day, was composed by Jean-Michel Jarre. Like all sound effects on radio and television.
Franceinfo's sound DNA is pushed on one side and has a call sign on the other. Jean-Michel Jarre explains. As soon as you hear 3 seconds or 2 minutes of the sequence, you know you are on franceinfo. This was the basic challenge as a musician. It is basically that music can convey information, whatever it may be, not only in its variety but also in its homogeneity.
Creating media packages is a very special task for Jean-Michel Jarre, a pioneer in the world of electronic music since his collaboration with the musical research group (GRM) Pierre Schaeffer and his first album. “We had to avoid anxiety and be able to express ourselves dynamically in a contemporary arrangement, but at the same time the theme was able to convey something very universal across the generations. I am very. I decided to design the theme quickly. It was also a way of involving the l’Orchestre National de France. Musically speaking, it has both a rhythmic side and a sequence side, and so continuous. It is to be able to give tension.“
For beginners on the grid from 2021 to 2022, Jean-Michel Jarre wanted to introduce a little lightness. “We want to get out of this rather dark period. I have done a lot of minor modules. It seemed very important to me to be of age to spread the language a little. Palette from an atmospheric point of view.“
