Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene in 2008

Jean Michel Jarre, the man himself, some call him the father of electronic music but still a true rock 'n' roll star to sell 80 million records finally visited Ljubljana. The show was full of expectations as we did not hear new stuff and did not get fancy lightshows, but instead an interesting experience of actually hearing and seeing the 30 years old synths playing his Oxygene project. I was assigned to cover the little interview session with him, but was not allowed to take pictures there at the end..some portraits there would be really nice as there was a nice table with cool reflections where he seated. Well, that's the way it goes sometimes, but it was still very interesting just to listen about his projects and ideas and shake hands with him. The concert, altough short, was interesting, both from photographic experience and just by watching and listening. We did quite a lot of walking to and then back and again to the stage..we were allowed some 10 minutes in front of stage, then taken back to the end of the hall, waited there for 10 minutes and then taken back to the stage, during Oxygene 4, where a huuuge mirror came down allowing an interesting aerial view of Jarre performing. Pretty cool effect. Here are some moments, as you can see the lights were intimate and not too bright :)
