Pour tous les robots du passé

 

(Jean-Jacques Perrey (1929 - 2016) was a French electronic musician, composer and an early pioneer in the electronic music genre.

 

He was studying medicine in Paris when he met Georges Jenny, inventor of the Ondioline. Quitting medical school, Perrey travelled throughout Europe demonstrating this keyboard ancestor of the modern synth. At the age of 30, Perrey relocated to New York City, sponsored by Carroll Bratman, who built him an experimental laboratory and recording studio at 209 West 48th Street. Here he invented "a new process for generating rhythms with sequences and loops", utilising the environmental sounds of musique concrète. With scissors, splicing tape and tape recorders, he spent weeks piecing together a uniquely comic take on the future. Befriending Robert Moog, he became one of the first Moog musicians, creating "far out electronic entertainment".

 

In 1965 Perrey met Gershon Kingsley, a former collaborator of John Cage. Together, using an Ondioline and Perrey's loops, they created two albums for Vanguard: Perrey - Kingsley - The In Sound From Way Out! (1966) and Perrey & Kingsley - Kaleidoscopic Vibrations (1967). Perrey & Kingsley also collaborated on sound design for radio and television advertising.

 

Perrey returned to France, composing for television, scoring for ballet and continuing medical research into therapeutic sounds for insomniacs. Finally, died at 4th November, 2016 in Switzerland at 87).

Perrey returned to France, composing for television, scoring for ballet and continuing medical research into therapeutic sounds for insomniacs. Some of his compositions on library labels like Editions Montparnasse 2000 are credited to his daughter Pat Prilly. He said in an interview that she didn’t compose as such, but provided him with ideas and inspiration when she played on the organ. For this he gave her recognition).

Moggy Sounds in a Way Out (Repost)

Nice compilation work from Moog pioneers Perrey and Kingsley, engineered for release from the original analog tapes converted to 20-bit digital audio, and the bass that was rolled off the original vinyl release has been restored, come to get the electro splashdown.

Moog is a 2004 film by Hans Fjellestad about electronic instrument pioneer Dr. Robert Moog. The film features scenes of Dr. Moog interacting with various musical artists who view Moog as an influential figure in the history of electronic music.

Moog is not a comprehensive history of electronic music nor does it serve as a chronological history of the development of the Moog synthesizer. There is no narration, rather the scenes feature candid conversation and interviews that serve more as a tribute to Moog than a documentary. The film's 2004 release was designed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of Moog Music, Robert Moog's company that was founded as R.A. Moog Co. in 1954.

This soundtrack features original songs by different artists produced on Moog instruments.

What happens when you combine a passion for the music of Thelonious Monk with an overriding compulsion for vintage analog synths and a decidedly irreverent streak? You get something on the order of this album easily the most unusual Monk tribute album since Hal Willner's eccentric 1984 all-star project That's the Way I Feel Now.

Armed with an odd arsenal of vintage gear including theremin, vocoder, clavinet and ARP, Moog, Sequential Circuits, Synthi and Buchla synthesizers, Nashville-based producer-arranger Joe "Guido" Welsh joined forces with his longtime friend and collaborator, veteran Chicago-based jazz pianist Steve Million, to form this zany duo. Their self-produced debut recording is a rare hoot for Monk aficionados and neophytes alike. A delightful stuff to taste.

BBC Radiophonic Music was the first compilation of music released by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. It featured music by three of the Workshop's most prominent composers, John Baker, David Cain and Delia Derbyshire. The music varied between incidental music and signature tunes, which had been used by various BBC programmes, as well as some radio jingles.

The selection demonstrated many of the methods used by the composers at the Radiophonic Workshop, including musique concrète tape editing and their use of primitive early electronic oscillators. It featured mostly original compositions, except for Baker's arrangements of the traditional "Boys and Girls" and "The Frogs Wooing", and Derbyshire's version of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Air".

In 2002 the compilation was remastered by Mark Ayres (the version included here), and re-released with two bonus Derbyshire songs; the original composition "Time to Go" and her version of "Happy Birthday". The album was originally released in 1968 for use as library music, but later given a commercial release in 1970 on the new BBC Records label.

Here's one of my fave records ever, presenting Monsieur J.J. Perrey (one of the last living legends of electronic music of all times) playing with Luck Vibert a funny, weird album; isn't easy face the fact that JJ.Perrey (born in 1929) is still doing that amazing kind of music, live performances around the world and working in new projects...wish he'd be my grandfather.
