(IPA|fr|ʒɑ̃ miʃɛl ɑ̃dʁe ʒaʁ; born 24 August 1948) is a French composer, performer and record producer. He is a pioneer in the Electronic music|electronic, Ambient music|ambient and New-age music|new-age genres, and is known for organising outdoor spectacles featuring his music, accompanied by vast Laser lighting display|laser displays, large Projector|projections and fireworks. Jarre was raised in Lyon by his mother and grandparents and trained on the piano. From an early age, he was introduced to a variety of art forms, including street performers, jazz musicians and the artist Pierre Soulages. His musical style was perhaps most heavily influenced by Pierre Schaeffer, a pioneer of musique concrète at the Groupe de Recherches Musicales. His first mainstream success was the 1976 album ''Oxygène''. Recorded in a makeshift studio at his home, the album sold an estimated 18 million copies. ''Oxygène'' was followed in 1978 by ''Equinoxe|Équinoxe'', and in 1979, Jarre performed to a record-breaking audience of more than a million people at the Place de la Concorde, a record he has since broken three times. More albums followed, but his 1979 concert served as a blueprint for his future performances around the world. Several of his albums have been released to coincide with large-scale outdoor events. As of 2004, Jarre had sold an estimated 80 million albums and singles.cite web Disques Dreyfus Announces the American Release of 'The Jean-Michel Jarre Collection' http://www.dreyfusrecords.com/news_article_ns.php?l=0&n=18 17 February 2004 https://web.archive.org/web/20080213180012/http://www.dreyfusrecords.com/news_article_ns.php?l=0&n=18 13 February 2008 Dreyfus Records 5 May 2012 He was the first Western world|Western musician officially invited to perform in the China|People's Republic of China and held the List of highest-attended concerts|world record for the largest-ever audience at an outdoor event for his Moscow concert on 6 September 1997, which was attended by 3.5 million people.
