I planned to compose for and collaborate with an array of artists, who are, directly or indirectly linked to this scene, with people I admire for their singular contribution to our genre, that represent a source of inspiration for me over the last four decades I have been making music, but who also have an instantly recognizable sound. At the outset, I had no idea how this project would evolve, but I was delighted that everybody I reached out to accepted my invitation."〔http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/6678597/jean-michel-jarre-electronica-pt-1-the-time-machine-album〕 The Electronica project started as early as 2011, when Jean-Michel Jarre started his collaboration with David Lynch.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DAVID LYNCH.
