Synthesizer orchestra, ambient and new age
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Synthesizer orchestra, ambient and new age · Jean-Michel Jarre, who had worked with Pierre Schaeffer, recorded Oxygène in 1976 in a home studio in Paris. From London, Vangelis made film music such as Chariots of Fire, and in Japan Kitaro made music without a beat for the series Silk Road. Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze in Berlin had preceded them, and in 1978 Brian Eno gave the genre its name, ambient, with Music for Airports.
Listening
Listening tip. In Oxygène, hear the cheap Korg rhythm box beneath simple melodies that stick in the mind.
