Terra 1 Part 01
TERRA 1
The year 1997 marked the 20th anniversary of one of the most influential albums in 20th century electronic music. Oxygene, by the French musician Jean Michel Jarre. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the album, I decided to make a tribute to this great work of electronic music, recording an album in which I would faithfully preserve all the architecture and essence of the original album, but changing the harmonies and melodies in their entirety, which in this case would be completely new. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.
