Released in 1978, Equinoxe was the fourth studio album by French electronic musician Jean-Michel Jarre. Following the massive success of Oxygene, this record further established his signature use of sweeping analogue synthesisers and intricate melodic sequencing. The striking cover art was created by the French artist Michel Granger, whose original painting was selected to represent the atmospheric themes of the album.

The production of the record took place at Jarre's private studio between January and August 1978. During these sessions, he relied heavily on the Matrisequencer 250, a bespoke piece of hardware designed by his collaborator Michel Geiss. This equipment allowed for the complex, rhythmic basslines that became a hallmark of the release. By layering instruments such as the ARP 2600, the EMS VCS 3, and the Yamaha CS-60, the composer constructed a dense, textured soundscape that pushed the boundaries of contemporary recording techniques.

Upon release, Equinoxe was met with significant commercial success, charting highly across Europe and reaching number 11 in the UK Albums Chart. Its influence extended far beyond initial record sales, providing a structural template for future ambient, trance, and electronic producers. The cultural impact of the album was firmly cemented in 1979 when Jarre performed the music at a free open-air concert at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, drawing a record-breaking crowd of over one million spectators and proving the viability of electronic music on a massive scale.

The artwork famously depicts an endless, stepped audience of identical, suited figures staring back at the viewer through binoculars. These enigmatic characters, often referred to as the Watchers, perfectly complemented the futuristic tone of the music. The surreal imagery became an enduring symbol of late 1970s electronic music and a defining piece of vinyl artwork.

This display piece isolates one of the distinct binocular wielding figures from the classic cover, bringing the two dimensional painting into a tangible format. It serves as a highly recognisable emblem for fans of progressive electronic music and analogue synthesis. The figure provides a straightforward physical tribute to a landmark record, making it a fitting addition to a studio desk, a listening room, or alongside a dedicated record collection.

Approx 25cm tall with a unique textured surface, this 3D printed model is made from high-quality, recyclable PLA, both lightweight and durable, making it an ideal display piece.

Please note that as each piece is made to order, there may be slight variations in colour and finish.
