I had to laugh when I saw this post at Jean Michel Jarre’s blog:
After the concert in Berlin, I met a lot of people from the electronic music world:
Jon from Elektron, who brought me a drum machine I ordered in Copenhagen last week, the director of Neumann, the people from Memotron, who have built an extraordinary new version of the Mellotron with even some Eminent sounds in it. I took one as a spare for the one Dominique has on stage.
Also a guy from Ploytec offered me an amazing midi pedal allowing to control live any tempo variations and doing a lot of other tricks.
It makes it sound like people are throwing gear at him wherever he goes – maybe even better than groupies!
Not surprising that folks want to offer him alternative MIDI input devices, given the innovations (like the laser harp) he’s been acclaimed for thus far!
