Jean-Michel André Jarre (usually written as Jean Michel Jarre) (Lyon, 24 August 1948) is a French composer and musician, specialising in creating electronic music using synthesizers. He is regarded as one of the pioneers of the genre, along with other artists such as Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Klaus Schulze, Larry Fast, Kitaro and Isao Tomita.
Jarre is known for his spectacular open-air concerts with lasers and fireworks, three of which made it into the Guinness Book of Records due to the enormous number of spectators.
