Q.5 Has the way you work changed over the years?
JMJ: 'When you are doing your first work, shooting your first movie, when you are writing your first book, when you are doing your first record, you are doing it in a very unconscious way. It's not instant, because it carries actually all what you have been through since you have been born. And then after this kind of rather unconscious way of making music the following projects are trying to adjust, to be in contradiction, to explore other fields, and then when I went back to this new Oxygene it was with the idea of going back to this rather unconscious way of perceiving sounds. By using originally the same instruments, so I went back, mainly to the first instruments as a starting point. The first analogue instruments. The first instruments I ever have ever used in my life. They are like, I would say, part of a personal museum, almost. They seem these days like a Stradivarius of electronic music. The old Moogs, the old harps, the old Mellotron or Theramin. I never felt such a kind of possibility of being central, being like a craftsman. I mean really working with your hands and being tactile rather than just intellectual. With electronic instruments rather than acoustic instruments. It's not a problem of making comparisons and saying what is the best. It is just a different attitude. And I've always been fascinated, almost like a child, by this kind of analogue gear where you can really, I mean, I would say, fiddle about, play with sounds and play with, not with concepts, but actually with ingredients.'
