_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ Whatever [Gm] year Oxygen came out, you know, so that was the first time I heard Jean-Michel's music and [G] obviously instantly
fell in love with it because it was exactly
the music I love. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It was completely revolutionary of course then and it was obviously just the right period, you know, he completely
_ captured the, let's use the German word, zeitgeist.
_ And he was a major influence on me.
I don't think there's an electronic [Am] musician that isn't influenced by him. _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Hans Zimmer is the great composer we know.
He's the one who [F] introduced electronic music in Hollywood
by fusing it with [Am] symphonic orchestra. _
_ _ A couple of years [C] ago or something like this, I mean he just, he phoned and said, you know,
would you like to do something together?
[G] And of course I said instantly said yes.
I felt incredibly honored.
[F] By being asked, you know, by even
being asked to be in the, [Am] not just the [F] same room, but the same project.
We met and he played me [E] his idea and he gave me a score, [Am] etc. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
For me, composing music is [G] doing the soundtrack that everyone can use for
creating their own [F] movie in their mind.
When you are watching a landscape,
you can see, for instance, [Am] the leaves of the trees moving at a certain speed, having, for instance, some [C] waves also moving at a
totally different tempo.
Birds in the sky [G] flying also at a different speed, people walking also at a different tempo and
all these random rhythmic elements [F] are part of a perfect harmonious landscape.
So that was the idea behind Electris. _ _
When I speak English, I have a German accent.
When I write [C] music, I have a German accent.
_ We have a European sense of harmony.
[G] America and Japan,
I mean, created the hardware on which Europeans [F] made so much music.
We do follow on in a long line of European [Am] composers. _ _ _ _ _
Half of the project is Hans Zimmer's [C] fantastic studio in Santa Monica in California and
the rest here in Paris [G] in this studio.
A true collaboration needs the presence [F] of people in the same place. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ You know, there's a balance between
technology [C] and the creativity.
It really, it really supports the creativity.
[G] And things can move faster.
You don't just lose your idea because you're waiting for the tape machine to write it back.
[F] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ The future [Am] we hoped for is now. _ _ _ _ _ _
