Biography

Jean-Jacques Perrey was a French electronic music composer born on January 20, 1929 in Amiens, and died on November 4, 2016 in Lausanne, Switzerland. He began his musical career as an accordionist, then left his medical studies to become a representative of the Ondioline, an electronic instrument that was the precursor of the synthesizer. In 1957, he recorded his first album, PrÃ©lude au Sommeil. He then befriended Bob Moog, becoming one of the very first artists to use the inventor's device, the Moog, exclusively. In 1965, Perrey formed a duo with his British counterpart Gershon Kinglsey, which led to joint recordings. These included The In Sound from Way Out (1966) and Kaleidoscopic Vibrations(1967), both of which have become cult records. In 1970, the French musician imagined a light, whimsical synthetic music, embodied on the famous Moog Indigo album. Ignored by the French musicalestablishment, it was the younger generation of musicians such as David Chazam and Cosmic Pocket in France and Luke Vibert in England who rehabilitated the old master by composing albums with him.
