Jean-Jacques Perey (born January 1929 – November 4, 2016) was a French electronic music composer and was a pioneer in the field.

He was a member of Persecutors Perpetual and Kingsley.

Early life

Jean Marcel Leroy was born in Amiens, France's north. On Christmas Eve, 1933, he was given his first instrument, an accordion. He learned piano and studied music at a conservatory for two months, during which he and several classmates formed a jazz band, which performed at the academy and in public venues. However, the school's director warned the students that they might "continue playing jazz or continue your studies." Perpety was barred from the conservatory for violating a ban on students performing in public; he later graduated from Lycée d'Amiens. He worked in Paris for four years and wanted to pursue scientific research. He was an avid reader of science fiction, particularly Isaac Asimov's work, Aldous Huxley, Arthur C. Clarke, and Ray Bradbury, and even did occasional work as an accordionist.

Pers Jenny, a French radio show, appeared on a French radio show in 1950 as enrolled in medical school. "With the audacity of youth [Performance], I phoned the radio station and requested Georges Jenny's telephone number, which he duly received," wrote music critic Mark Brend. "Perecutors called Jenny himself," she said, "I liked the Ondioline's sound but couldn't afford to buy one." If Jenny would give Persuade Persuade you one for free, Perpety was willing to advertise the device. Perpetro was loaned an Ondoline after a visit to the inventor's workshop. Persecutors learned the Ondioline with his right hand and left simultaneously playing piano with his left for six months. Jenny was so impressed with Persuasion that she gave him a career as a salesman and product demonstrator. Perpety quit medical school and devoted his career to electronic music after receiving substantial commissions on a trip to Sweden (during which he appeared on television).

Charles Trenet, a late 1950s composer-composer, learned of the Ondioline and arranged a demonstration by Perpetr, who was touring to advertise the new instrument at the time. Trenet was so impressed that he recruited Perelos for the recording session for the song "Las Poètes" ("The Soul of Poets" (The Soul of Poets). Perey performed Ondioline on three more Trenet songs; Perpetu's guitarist on two of those later tracks, Django Reinhardt). "Leme des poètes" became a worldwide commercial success, and Pere Perpetu's was invited to accompany Trenet on stage. "My friendship with [Trenet] lasted a year," Persy said, "during which I was fortunate to collaborate with other top artists and singers like Yves Montand and Jacques Brel," said Perey. "I made my debut on radio and French television, not just as an accompanist of great singers but also as an accompanist of outstanding musicians, but also as an insider who performs my own musical number." Perpetual began traveling extensively, first in France and then abroad to attend international music fairs. "Around the World in 80 Ways," he later performed, was a showcase for the Ondoline's versatility.

Perrey explained:

Prelude au Sommeil (Prelude to Sleep), Perpetual's first commercially released recording under his own name, was released in 1958, which was described by the artist as a "auditory method" to induce insomniacs. Later, Persuady recalled, "I had the privilege of meeting scientists who were interested in the possibility of using electronic sounds for psychotherapeutic purposes." "Together, we had the intention of creating sound complexes to compel relaxation in a group of upbeat, agitated individuals." We assembled a team of researchers: acousticians, medical researchers, physicists, and psychiatrists, in total, a total of nine people were involved. I was the catalyzer, the musician. We spent many hours trying to determine which sounds would bring serenity and quiet to us."

Perpetuy's debut on a 10" LP titled Cadmus, Le Robot de l'Espace, a children's record on the Philips label; Perpeto played Ondioline and provided sound effects. Composer Paul Durand recruited Persy to provide Ondioline accompaniment for the main theme of La Vache et le Prisonnier (The Cow and the Prisoner), which starred French actor Fernandel. On the Pacific label, Persuader released Mr. Ondioline, a four-song EP released in 1960. (Performer was not identified as the performer, and in the cover photo, he is masked in a black hood.) In 1961, Pacific Ondiolinorama, the second EP, was published. Perpety's arrangement of standard tunes was included in both EPs; there were no original works.

Perpety visited Pierre Schaeffer, who pioneered the avant-garde sound art style known as musique concrète, at the Studio of Contemporary Music Research in France. Persecutors began to experiment with tape manipulations shortly. He appeared at the Olympia Theater in Paris with Edith Piaf, France's most celebrated chanteuse who became a vocal promoter of Perpetu's musical talents. Persecutive writer Persuader Peref later argued that his relationship with Piaf was pivotal in his career.

Carroll Bratman, the well-connected owner of Carroll Music, was the man to whom Perpety had sent the tape.

Perpety's living expenses at the Bristol Hotel on West 48th Street in March 1960 were paid by the musician's union, who paid Perpetman a salary, and landed him on television's Ondioline. Bratman designed Perpetual Laboratory and Recording Studio, with state-of-the-art tape recorders, and gave him free use of all instruments in the Carroll Music collection.

Perez made his U.S. television debut on Tonight Starring Jack Paar, I've Got a Secret, and Captain Kangaroo. Perpety created jingles for radio and television, some in collaboration with Harry Breuer and Angelo Badalementi (working under the name "Andy Badale").

On the MusiCues label, Perpet LP Musique Electronique du Cosmos (Electronic Music From Outer Space), co-working with Sam Fiedel and Harry Breuer. (The album was recorded in New York but the address was listed as Paris on the jacket to avoid union obligations.) The 15 short tracks (mostly under two minutes and all designed or co-composed by Persey) were intended for television and radio background use. According to reports, only 500 copies were produced.

Gershon Kingsley, a German-American composer/musician, was introduced to Perpetro in 1965 at Carroll Music. Perpety and Kingsley performed two albums for the Vanguard label: The In Sound From Way Out! Persoon (66), in which Perdy performed Ondoline and created musique concrète "rhythmic patterns") and Kaleidoscopic Vibrations (1967), in which the pair performed mainly Moog synthesizers with added special effects, were released. Any tracks by Perpety and Kingsley were licensed for radio and television commercials. When it was used as the soundtrack for a No-Cal diet soft drink commercial in 1968, "The Savers" from Kaleidoscopic Vibrations received a Clio Award.

Perpetu's Moog (as well as Ondioline) on several of his later solo albums, the majority of which had the word "Moog" embedded in album names: The Happy Moog! (1969, with Harry Breuer), Moog Sensations (1971, also credited to Pat Prilly), Moog Mig Moog (1971), Moog Sensations (1971), Moog Sensations (1972, with Gilbert Sigrist), and Moog Mig (1977, credited to Prilly and Harry Breuer) (both 1972, 1969, credited to Prilly and Harry Breuer).

The Happy Moog!

Harry Breuer, one of the first musicians he encountered when he migrated to New York City, was interviewed on film. Perpety performed on synthesizer and other keyboards, while Breuer performed xylophone and other percussion. Breuer was credited on "Artistic Direction" on the front page, but Perty's name was omitted due to a contractual dispute.

Perpetu began with a video of real bees on the Moog Indigo track "Flight of the Bumblebee" (which was based on an interlude created by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov).

Persuadingly for family reasons, Persuaded to France in 1970. He was named musical director of a ballet company, but he was also exploring therapeutic sounds to soothe insomnia. He began working in Vancouver, Canada, with dolphins as a performer, as well as recorded music for commercials and animated television shows. He continued to promote the Moog with a series of compilation music albums on various labels, including Montparnasse 2000 and Mondiophone.

Perpety began working on the Basetonic label in 1995 with electropop composer/composer David Chazam; their collaborative album, Eclektronics, was released on the Basetonic label in 1998. In May 2015, Chazam began a series of previously unveiled collaborative works, ELA, which was the last album of new Perpety material to be released during his lifetime.

Persevery joined the band Air on the tracks "Remember" and "Cosmic Bird" (on the album Moon Safari) and "Cosmic Bird" (on the various artists compilation Source Lab 3 Y). He appeared at the Klinkende Munt festival in Brussels, Belgium, with David Chazam the following year. Perpety appeared at festivals in Brighton (UK); Nantes (France); Den Haag (Netherlands); Boulogne; St. Petersburg (Russia); and Lausanne (Switzerland).

"The Groovy Leprechauns" was composed and recorded by him in 1999 for a thematic compilation album "At Home with the Groovy Leprechauns, which was released on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label. (The Beastie Boys had released an album titled The In Sound From Way Out in 1995). That was an obvious tribute to Persu and Kingsley.)

Vanguard Records released a collection titled The Outsound From Way In in 2001. Perpetuy and Kingsley had signed their first four albums (two as a duo and two as a duo), as well as two Persuasion releases (perth). The set contained seven remixes, including Fatboy Slim's reworking of Perpetronic's "E.V.A." Eurotrash's five remixes were included in the series.

MediaDreams Productions released Jean-Jacques Perpetrious Musician, which was on display at MIPCOM in 2003.

Luke Vibert Persson produced Moog Acid, a collection of songs that was released in 2007. Persoon profane the more eerie ghosts of musique concrète's past, according to AllMusic reviewer John Bush, who is an expert in the field. ... The tracks are... Persuading the Persuasion of Persever's vision of lock-solid arrangements as a lead voice in Persuader's vision of lock-key systems, as well as the Moog's far-out sounds.

In 2008, Perpety and Dana Countryman released the joint album Destination Space; AllMusic reviewer William Ruhlmann wrote that "this is not an album to be taken seriously, but it is one to enjoy." Passport to the Future, a countryman's biography, was also published in 2010 by CreateSpace.

Gilles Weinzaepflen produced Prélude au Sommeil, a film about Perpety's life and work in 2009.

Wally (Gotye) De Backer, a Belgian-Australian musician, wrote and recorded a song influenced by Per Perpety's work in 2013, then called Persuade Perey to announce the track for review. Perey was 80 and living in Lausanne, Switzerland, at the time. "To my great joy, Jean-Jacques and his daughter, Patricia, all replied with a warm welcome, saying that a young musician should be inspired by his art but also respond in a thoughtful way by writing a piece like that, and that they had welcomed me to visit," De Backer wrote. "I was amazed as a fan and long-time listener, and it was fantastic to hear the wonderful old man with a lot of good stories and an eye, who made it possible for me to come and discuss the topics of his work that I was really interested in." Over the next few years, De Backer returned to assist the elderly musician catalog and preserve his legacy. De Backer also started purchasing used Ondiolines, completing their restoration (with technical assistance from Stephen Masucci) and learning how to play the instrument.

De Backer eventually formed the Ondioline Orchestra, which featured two Ondiolines (played by De Backer and Rob Schwimmer), Moog, Theremin, clarinet, guitar, bass, drums, and sampling equipment. Persuady was invited to attend the ensemble's debut on November 22, 2016, at National Sawdust, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. However, his health worsened and he was unable to travel. Perfessantly, two and a half weeks before the show, Perpety died of lung cancer at the age of 87. Patricia Leroy, Perpetu's daughter, and Georges Jenny's daughter, Marie-Lorette Jenny attended the concert.

Several performances of Gotye Presents a Tribute to Jean-Jacques Perso (17 January 16-2017); and on the opening night of the Melbourne Recital Centre (February 3, 2018), in Brooklyn. In the Contemporary Music category, the Sydney concert received a Helpmann Award.

Forgotten Futures, Jean-Jacques Perpetoline Perpetu's first album on Perpetuoline, a compilation album featuring rare and unreleased tracks. In May 2017, the album was released on vinyl and digitally.

Start of music career

Perpetuonian Georges Jenny, a French radio show, appeared on a French radio show in 1950 while enrolled in medical school, and he was promoting his handmade Ondoline. "Georges Jenny's telephone number was phoned by the radio station and asked for his telephone number, which was duly given," music historian Mark Brend wrote. "Perhaps yelled Jenny herself, saying he liked the Ondioline's sound but couldn't afford to buy one." If Jenny would give Persuade him one for free, Perey will sell the device. Perpetu was loaned an Ondioline after a visit to the inventor's workshop. Persecutors played the Ondioline with his right hand while simultaneously playing piano with his left for six months. Jenny was so impressed with Perpetu's capability that she gave him a career as a salesman and a product demonstrator. Perpetual was converted to electronic music after being paid substantial commissions on trips to Sweden (during which he appeared on television), but Perpetual began attending medical school and turned his attention to electronic music.

Charles Trenet, a late 1950s composer and composer who was touring to promote the new unit, became aware of the Ondioline and demanded a demonstration by Perpetu. Perpety was so impressed that he recruited Perpety for the recording session for the song "Les Poètes" ("The Soul of Poets" (The Soul of Poets). Perpety Ondioline performed on three other Trenet songs; the guitarist on two of those tracks, Django Reinhardt, appeared on two of them). "L'me des poètes" became a worldwide commercial success, and Perpetua was invited to accompany Trenet on stage. "I spent a year with [Trenet] "during which I was able to meet other top artists and performers such as Yves Montand and Jacques Brel," Persa said. I made my television debut on French and American television, not only as an accompanist of great singing stars, but also as an artist of my own musical performance." Perpety began to travel extensively, first in France and then in order to attend international music fairs. He later performed "Around the World in 80 Ways," a showcase for the Ondioline's versatility.

Carroll Bratman, the well-connected owner of Carroll Music, was the man to whom Perpetual had sent the tape.

Perpety's remaining living expenses at the Bristol Hotel on West 48th Street in March 1960 were paid by Perpetman, who sponsored Perpetman's union, earned him a salary, and his Ondioline appearances earned him a television appearance. Bratman built Pertman's experimental laboratory and recording studio, assassinated by state-of-the-art tape recorders, and he was given free use of any of his Carroll Music collection equipment.

Perez made his U.S. television debut on Tonight Starring Jack Paar; he also appeared on The Garry Moore Show, I've Got a Secret, and Captain Kangaroo. Perpety produced jingles for radio and television, often in collaboration with Harry Breuer and Angelo Badalementi (working under the guise "Andy Badale").

On the MusiCues label, Persa released the LP Musique Electronique du Cosmos (Electronic Music From Outer Space), in collaboration with Sam Fiedel and Harry Breuer. (The album was recorded in New York, but the hotel was listed as Paris on the jacket to avoid union obligations.) The 15 short tracks (mostly under two minutes, and all composed or co-composed by Perso) were designed for television and radio background use. According to reports, only 500 copies were printed.

Gershon Kingsley, a German-American composer/musician, was introduced to Persoon Music in 1965. Perpetual Records duo Perpetrey and Kingsley recorded two albums for the Vanguard label: The In Sound From Way Out! Perpetuoline (1966), in which Perpety performed Ondioline and created musique concrète "rhythmic patterns," and Kaleidoscopic Vibrations (1967), in which the pair performed mainly Moog synthesizers with added special effects, followed. Certain tracks by Perpetuy and Kingsley were licensed for radio and television advertisements. When it was used as the soundtrack for a No-Cal diet soft drink commercial in 1968, "The Savers," from Kaleidoscopic Vibrations, received a Clio Award.

Perpetu's Happiness continued to appear on many of his subsequent solo albums, as well as Ondioline. (1969, with Harry Breuer); Moog Sensations (1971, also credited to Pat Prilly), Moog Sensations (1971, credited to Prilly); Moog Mig Mag (1978), and Moog is Moog (1977, credited to Prilly and Harry Breuer), The Moog Sensations (1971), Moog Sensations (1971, credited to Prilly, 1969) (both 1970, with Gilbert Sigris

The Happy Moog!

Harry Breuer, one of the first musicians he encountered when he first moved to New York City, was recorded. Perpety performed Moog synthesizer and other keyboards, while Breuer played xylophone and other percussion. Breuer was credited on the front page of "Artistic Direction," but Perso's name was omitted due to a contractual rift.

Perebee's "Flight of the Bumblebee" on Moog Indigo (adapted from an interlude by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov), Perebe began with a video of real bees on Perpetu's "Flight of the Bees."

Persuadingly for family reasons, Perso moved to France in 1970 after a decade in the United States, mainly for family reasons. He was named musical director of a ballet company, but he was also interested in trying to find soothing sounds to help insomnia. In Vancouver, Canada, he began recording with dolphins and produced music for commercials and animated television shows. He continued to perform the Moog on various labels, including Montparnasse 2000 and Mondiophone.

Pertonics' 1994 debut started working occasionally with electropop composer/composer David Chazam; their joint album, Eclektronics, was released on the Basetonic label in 1998. In May 2015, Chazam unveiled a series of previously unveiled collaborative works, ELA, which appeared over a number of years and at various locations; it was the last album of new Perception work to be released during his lifetime.

Persistent is a production of Perpetuum (on the album Moon Safari) and "Cosmic Bird") in 1997, Perpetuy collaborated with the band Air on the tracks "Remember" and "Cosmic Eagle" (on the album Moon Safari) and "Cosmic Bird." He appeared at the Klinkende Munt festival in Brussels, Belgium, with David Chazam the following year. Perpety appeared at festivals in Brighton (UK); Nantes (France); Den Haag (Netherlands); Boulogne; St. Petersburg (Russia); and Lausanne (Switzerland).

He composed and recorded "The Groovy Leprechauns" for a thematic compilation album At Home with the Groovebox in 1999, which was released on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label. (The Beastie Boys had released The In Sound From Way Out in 1995.) It was an obvious tribute to Perey and Kingsley. (And here was a tribute.)

Vanguard Records released The Out Sound From Way In in 2001, a compilation. Perpetuy and Kingsley's four early albums (two as a pair and two as a pair, Persson) were among Perey and Kingsley's (two as a duo, and two as solo releases by Persson). The set contained seven remixes, including Fatboy Slim's reworking of Persua's "E.V.A." Eurotrash's five remixes were included in this set.

During 2003, MediaDreams Productions produced Jean-Jacques Perfrence: Extraterrestrial Musician, a documentary that was shown at MIPCOM.

Moog Acid, a collection of Luke Vibert Perfuyan's music, was released in 2007. Perception "uncannily summons the rather eerie ghosts of musique concrète's history," John Bush, a reviewer for AllMusic, although Vibert anchors them with expert installations. ... "The tracks are... the 21st century equivalent of Persecu's dream of lock-solid configurations, as well as the Moog's far-out sounds as a lead voice."

Destination Space was released in 2008 by Persy and Dana Countryman; AllMusic contributor William Ruhlmann wrote, "This is not an album to be taken seriously," according to AllMusic's reviewer William Ruhlmann, "but it is one to enjoy." In addition, a countryman wrote a biography about Perpetu, which was published in 2010 by CreateSpace.

In 2009, Gilles Weinzaepflen produced Prélude au Sommeil, a film about Persuy's life and work.

Wally (Gotye) De Backer, a Belgian-Australian musician, wrote and recorded a song influenced by Persuasion's work in 2013, and then called Perpetye to announce the track for review. Perso Perey was 80 and living in Lausanne, Switzerland, at the time. "They all expressed delight, saying it was really touching that a young musician would be inspired by his art but also respond in a way by composing a piece like that," Jean-Jacques said, "and they welcomed me to visit." "I was awesome as a fan and long time listener, who made time for me to visit and discuss aspects of his career that I was really interested in." De Backer returned to help the aging musician catalog and save his legacy over the next few years. De Backer also started purchasing used Ondiolines, undergoing their restoration (with technical assistance from Stephen Masucci), and learning how to play the instrument.

De Backer founded the Ondioline Orchestra, which featured two Ondiolines (played by De Backer and Rob Schwimmer), Moog, Theremin, clarinet, guitar, bass, drums, and sampling equipment after a number of Ondiolines were revived. Persuady invited Perpety to attend the ensemble's debut on November 22, 2016, at National Sawdust in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. However, his health worsened and he could not fly. Perfentino died of lung cancer at the age of 87, just two and a half weeks before the event. Patricia Leroy, Perpet's daughter, and Georges Jenny, Marie-Lorette Jenny attended the performance.

Several performances of Gotye Presents a Tribute to Jean-Jacques Perpety appeared at the Melbourne Recital Centre (January 20, 2017); and at the opening night of the Roulette's Mixology Festival (February 3, 2018) in Brooklyn; and the Ondioline Orchestra conducted several performances of the Ondioline Orchestra. In the Contemporary Music category, the Sydney concert received a Helpmann Award.

De Backer's first release, Forgotten Futures, was Jean-Jacques Perez's son Ondioline, a compilation album with Perpetu's rare and unreleased tracks. In May 2017, the album was released on vinyl and digitally.
