Transversales Disques proudly presents the first official LP reissue of Deserted Palace, a studio album written and performed by Jean-Michel Jarre in 1972 during his time at G.R.M. (Groupe de Recherches Musicales).
In 1971, producer Francis Dreyfus was commissioned to create soundscapes for public spaces such as airports and libraries.
He entrusted the project to Jean-Michel, who had recently signed with his record company.
These fifteen tracks were crafted using just two synthesizers—the EMS VCS3 and the Farfisa organ—in an experimental and minimalistic style.
"It was a crazy album, totally homemade, with rhythms I created in my student room using minimal equipment. At the same time, I incorporated electronic sounds taken from the GRM when I would sneak into the studios at night, having stolen the keys.
It’s a pirate record in every sense of the word, foreshadowing what I would go on to create later."
