Produced from within the heart of this Sahara adventure, the concert and behind-the-scenes photographs and projection stills are hand-picked from the concert production archive.

FEBRUARY 18TH: Francis Rimbert contacted JARRE UK yesterday, with a personal message for his Fans, about his forthcoming NEW Studio Album, which he has entitled 'SNAP SHOTS', after a suggestion made by JARRE UK, at the Salon De La Musique Festival in Paris, on September 9th 2006:-

"Hello my friends from the other side of the channel. I just come here to give you some news about my work. I have almost finished composing my new album, and for this, I have let myself be carried by multiple influences drawn randomly from my dreams, my moods or meetings.

I was pleased to have the opportunity, for example, to discuss for a long while with Dunkie at the end of my private concert in Paris during the music event in 2006. This kind of meeting was for me an extraordinary source of inspiration. After that, I decided to name my album 'SNAP SHOTS' thanks to the suggestion of Dunkie. This title found by my friend of England is exactly the conductor of what I endeavour to express in my new recordings.

'SNAP SHOTS' will report the story of my life in one day, with all the ideas passing through my mind. So there will be different moods and different musical styles.

As of today, I have already written 10 titles of which it will remain probably only 5 or 6 final recordings. I have tried to not let myself be abused by an unspecified influence of primary plan marketing where the artist is attracted to give priority to the latest fashions.

Sincerely, I have to say that I am shared between the past and the future. Obviously from my work on these first electronic instruments, it remains to me the nostalgia of hypnotic sequences, such particular sounds as the Mini-
Moog, filter effects and so on...infact, all I experimented with at the genesis of electronic music. But how difficult it is not to be lost in these marvellous softwares which propose you to be transported in these worlds. I must fight each day with some old evils trying to express what I am today and not what I tried to be yesterday.

Before I return to my work, I have to say how your mails are boosting the musician I am. I will never be different from you, you who begin your first experiments, who send me your first compositions. We all have the same goal...to express ourself through our music.

Your alter ego from France,

Francis Rimbert"
