Amazônia is the twenty-first studio album by French musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released on 9 April 2021 by Columbia Records. [2]
The album serves as the 52-minute musical score for the exhibition Amazônia, a project by photographer and filmmaker Sebastião Salgado presented from May to October 2021 in the Paris Philharmonic complex. [3] Jarre had access to the Museum of Ethnology in the city of Geneva, Switzerland. [4]
The exhibition focuses on the Brazilian Amazon, featuring more than 200 photographs and other media by Salgado. In this album, a combination of electronic and orchestral instruments was made, natural sounds were also used. [5] As well as a standard stereo version released on CD and LP, a binaural version and a 5.1 surround sound version were made available in digital download. [6]
Some of the revenues will be sent back to the Indigenous communities where the recordings were recorded, according to a statement in the CD booklet or on the LP cover. Yet, it is not yet apparent how this will be accomplished.
All tracks are written by Jean-Michel Jarre
