Oxymore is the twenty-second studio album by French musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre.
"[1] Jarre was also inspired by the French movement “musique concrete”, a genre that utilises recorded sounds as raw material.
VR Project produced by Jean-Michel Jarre and Louis Cacciuttolo, designed by art-director Pavel Pavlyukov and directed by Georgy Molodtsov received Webby Awards - People's Voice Winner in Metaverse, Immersive & Virtual / Best Experiential Design category in 2023,[7] as well Nomination and Honoree in 2022,[8] Raindance Immersive Honourable Mentioning,[9] Stereopsia Crystal Owl Award for the Best Production Design and Producers Guild of America Innovation Award nomination.
[10] Julian Marszalek of Classic Rock rated it three stars out of five and called it "an album that asks more questions than it offers answers".
[11] Shrey Kathuria of The Quietus describes Oxymore as "a record that cleverly entwines dark and tense songwriting and delivers a hauntingly curious resolution, like the ending of the very computer games it so adroitly emulates"[12] Oxymore was released on CD, double vinyl and digital in stereo, binaural, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos mixes.
