Chronologie was performed at a series of 16 performances across Europe called Europe in Concert. These were on a smaller scale than his previous concerts, featuring a miniature skyline, laser imaging and fireworks. Locations included Lausanne, Mont St Michel, London, Manchester, Barcelona, Seville and the Versailles Palace near Paris.[3]


Composition


The album features Jarre's traditional collection of instruments like the ARP 2600 and Minimoog, as well as newer synthesisers such as the Roland JD-800 and the Kurzweil K2000. Chronologie was recorded and mixed in Croissy studio.[4]

The opening few moments of "Chronologie Part 4"

In the state of mind I did Chronologie, it's quite close to what I did for Oxygène, using a lot of the old synthesizers of the '70s, like the Moog synthesizer — which I consider to be the Stradivarius of electronic music — mixed with the digital sound and the beat of the dance scene of the '90s. In a sense, Chronologie is a kind of mixture between the sounds of the '70s and the sounds of the '90s.[5]

[de] Chronologie (Album)

Chronologie (spätere Versionen auch unter englischem Titel Chronology) ist ein instrumentales Musikalbum des französischen Musikers Jean-Michel Jarre. Es wurde im Mai 1993 bei Disques Dreyfus in Frankreich bzw. bei Polydor im Rest der Welt veröffentlicht. Chronologie ist Jarres insgesamt elftes Studioalbum. Inspiriert durch das Buch Eine kurze Geschichte der Zeit von Stephen Hawking wurden Chronologie Part 4 und Chronologie Part 5 ursprünglich für Swatch als Werbemusik komponiert, bis sich Jarre dazu entschloss, beide Stücke als Teil eines komplett neuen Albums zu veröffentlichen. Ähnlich wie sein vorheriges Album Waiting for Cousteau, stieg Chronologie auf Platz 11 in die britischen Charts ein.
