A life of passion for Music. Music of the soul, true and sincere, which knew a planetary destiny. But also the love an the pleasure of sharing hard-won knowledge, and transmitting his flame to others. This is that, the dimension of Jean-Christian Michel.
Over the centuries, only faith, passion and freedom have been the most powerful engines of inspiration and creativity.
In
a period when the distribution of commercial music is monopolised
by four or five firms, the Internet still retains its marvelous power
of information in its young tradition of freedom.
Indeed
the multinationals of the recording industry sterilize creation by
imposing their artists on a public a little lobotomised by mindlessness
which every state sponsors through the media assuming its duty as
a general anesthetic. By agreements with these same media, these venal
consortiums thus deprive people of discovering other forms of expression.
That which is true for music is just as true for the other arts (litterature,
painting, cinema etc.) : To fill their pockets, 21st century traders
suppress qualitative creation.
The love of research and the discovery of authentic artistic riches is the privilege of a few : it rarely leads to sharing a dominant remote-controlled opinion, and to throwing oneself on the top 50 of the best sales per square meter..
That is why the Web is one of the last areas in which it is still
possible to distribute original material.
Let us hope with all our strength that the Internet remains this brilliant space of independence, a breath more difficult to enslave than this "Best of the Worlds", where "single thinking" and "good thinking", restrict a little more every day our freedom and our joy of living !

Jean-Christian Michel's new Musical DVD "IMAGINAIRE" takes us to the land of dreams with thousands of magical images.
Fantastic and wonderful, it is the prelude to the escape to the realm of the imaginary.
The unique sonority of his clarinet, the multidimensional sounds of the synthesizers and the deep resonances of the organ take hold of the space in a mystical atmosphere ...
Jean-Christian Michel's DVD opens the doors to a universe of global enchantment by making the great composer's space music resound in the mysterious silence of galaxies and abysses of the cosmos.
The video shootings of live concerts, filmed in the silent darkness of the cathedrals, show a succession of overall plans of the musicians and the public, the expressions of faces of the virtuosos transported by their music, the furtive images of the hands of the concert performers on the keys and keyboards, the unusual intrusion of the camera into the bowels and the secret mechanisms of the liturgical organ.
This monumental futuristic clip, the most innovative video album of the year, opens up the marvelous realm of the imagination. The magnetic fluid of immensity infiltrates the musical universe of the clarinet player, and the conductive flow of music connects the powerful breath of the stars to the beauty of the melodies.
The filmed sequences recorded on Jean-Christian Michel's DVD are not compressed, with consequently an incomparable sound and image definition. In this album you will find completely new tracks.

Music, Clarinet and Freedom : Music, a space of freedom for emotion
and dream... Jean-Christian Michel reveals his comprehension of music,
tries to explain the "biological" genesis of music. He insists
on the necessity of magic in music and asks questions : Is there a great
and an unimportant music? Is music reserved for an inner circle ? Does
it contact all people? What is the daily responsibility of mankind before
his destiny ?
