Launch Party for new album creates buzz with European media

An innovative event, held on Thursday 30th January, @ London's renowned Hayward Gallery was the kick-off for Jean-Michel Jarre's new album release. In order to emphasise the sonic and musical quality of Oxygene 7-13, the focus was on the album itself: every guest (incl. journalists from all over the world) was given a wireless hi-end headphone set (by Sennheiser), and the 7 tracks of the album were played back in the gallery, while the audience wandered around the art exhibition. This allowed the listeners to focus individually on the music, instead of the experience being interrupted by the usual party chatter.

After being treated to the beautiful sounds of Oxygene 7-13, the media contingent attended the official launch press conference. Jean-Michel announced his FIRST EVER indoor tour, and explained his motives behind the new album as well as the promotional activities over the next months.
