Oxygène, composed in a kitchen and rejected by numerous record labels, became one of the best-selling albums of all time, paving the way for an exceptional career with over 85 million albums sold worldwide. In this episode, he recounts his childhood immersed in sound, the Parisian jazz clubs, his grandfather's tape recorder, and the path we sometimes follow without truly choosing it. He also discusses his monumental concerts, performed for millions of people around the world, the same stress he feels playing to an audience of 200, and his vision of music as inseparable from space, architecture, and technology. Without nostalgia, he shares his perspective on the future, innovation, and AI, which he sees as a creative opportunity. A rare, intelligent, and deeply inspiring interview. An episode about creativity, courage, and staying true to oneself. 📣 Thank you to Aroma-Zone for their support of this episode.
