Live Music Show - curated by Jean-Jacques Perrey Jean-Jacques Perrey is a legend. Born in 1929 (yeah, that's right he's 82 now, how rad is that?!) he invented "a new process for generating rhythms with sequences and loops" by utilising the techniques of musique concrète. Armed with scissors, splicing tape, and a tape recorder, he spent weeks piecing together a unique take on the future. Befriending Robert Moog, he became one of the first Moog synthesiser musicians creating "far out electronic entertainment". In 1965 he met Gershon [...]
Here's a short that David Lewandowski , an animation artist based in Los Angeles, made for the final episode of Everything , an anthology series at Channel 101. When he first comes around the corner, I fear it might be the single greatest thing I've ever seen. Is this stop motion animation? Or CGI? Or a skilled combination of the two? The feel-good music is by early French electronic music pioneer Jean Jacques Perrey, otherwise known as one half of Perrey and Kingsley. He [...]
Jean-Jacques Perrey & Luke Vibert - Moog Acid 138 (2006)

Tiempo después se convirtió en el tema principal del Main Street Electrical Parade en Disneylandia, y fue utilizado para cerrar todos los episodios televisados del Chapulín Colorado durante los años 70. Miércoles de catálogo y clásicos de tres décadas en Galaxy 94.3 [...]
This is not going to be your average post from me. Now, some of you may have read this blog for a while and know I bounce all over the place with the music I post. This is one that really I don't have a lot of words for, as it expresses a lot of beauty. This song I'm posting today was used in the now classic "Cosmos" series by Carl Sagan by Vangelis . I've gotten my nerd on lately and have been watching it and this song in particular just smacked of all the old [...]
Chers élèves, aujourd'hui nous avons invité un professeur extraordinaire. Cet homme, accordéoniste amateur et étudiant en faculté de médecine, a un beau jour de l'année 1952 croisé le chemin de Georges Jenny, un pionnier de la musique électronique qui vient d'inventer un merveilleux instrument, l' Ondioline . Notre homme tombe amoureux de l'instrument et décide d'arrêter ses études pour devenir démonstrateur-représentant d'Ondioline. Puis il se lance dans le cabaret avec une Ondioline et un piano, connait un succès considérable qui lui permet de voyager en Europe avec son numéro, jusqu'à la rencontre avec Charles Trenet, qui [...]

Part Two of the Father Abraham " Listen To This " and a chance to redeem myself with two musical selections following his underwhelming response to the magnificence of Afrobear. I would protest that PolarBear wasnt really moaning about the hardships of making music, but more the humour of getting recognised while still struggling. Elsewhere Abraham's selections had me imagining I could cut it on the dancefloor in tight white pants, while his second choice reminded me of my utter failure with girls in my teens (a sentence with three more words than necessary if ever there [...]

Earlier this week NASA celebrated the 40th anniversary of putting some good wholesome American men on the moon. It was one giant leap for mankind, and one great big Nerr-Nerrr-Ner-Nerrrr-Nurrrrr to the Russians who had, until now, been lapping the USA in the great space race . But no one spared a thought for the lonely cosmonaut, sitting in his rocket, orbiting the moon, watching the live footage on his miniature control panel. He thinks of his girlfriend down there on earth, as he whistles a forlorn little ditty into his Soviet-issue [...]
In part 1 we introduced you to a few of the hairy little beasties that make us come over all squeamish. Our French dictionary interprets creepy crawlies as bestioles , though I am rather taken with Terrifiante Rampante which is the answer a free translation website just fed back to me. Last time, Polnareff declared himself King of the Ants, then had a change of heart and turned himself into a fly. Well we have some news for you Monsieur Polnareff, here comes Mister Tovey to usurp petit Michel. [...]

And then, the Earth being small, mankind will migrate into space, and will cross the airless Saharas which separate planet from planet and sun from sun. The Earth will become a Holy Land which will be visited by pilgrims from all the quarters of the Universe. Finally, men will master the forces of Nature; they will become themselves architects of systems, manufacturers of worlds. Winwood Reade, THE MARTYRDOM OF MAN, 1872 Previous Space themed selection .

Everyone out there's ranting on about James Bond double-o seven… Now we have no idea what a Quantum of Solace is, and we couldn't really give a flying Nick Nack . Let's go back to a time when Bond themes were good, and when CGI wasn't relied upon as a valid plot-replacement device: It's 1969, Jean-Jacques Perrey unleashes The Amazing New Electronic Pop Sound of Jean-Jacques Perrey . Track 7 is his very own Moog-ed up homage to Her Majesty's number 7 spy - a poignant, understated little ditty, [...]
Mercury "The eternal wonders of space and time, the faraway dreams and mysteries of other worlds, other life, the stars, the planets. Man has been face to face with them for centuries, it is barely able to penetrate the unknown secrets. Sometime, someday the barrier will be pierced, why must we wait why not now?"

This mixtape pulls together a collection of some of my favorite French music from the 1960s through today to celebrate Bastille Day . The French national holiday (which was celebrated in Philadelphia over the weekend at Eastern State Penitentary), commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on July 14, 1789, marking the beginning of the French Revolution. The largest celebration of the holiday, which is like July 4th to us Americans, is in you guessed it, New York. To celebrate a la low-key, grab yourself a nice bottle of Beaujolais, grab a Godard or [...]
A respected member of grandpa-electronics, one of the first moog musicians, one half of the Perrey-Kingsley duo and a composer for TV, ballet, dolphins and insomniacs in need of musical theraphy... good old J. J. Perrey is no less an inspiration for all electronic musicians of our era. Formerly an accordeon player, Perrey started his career in electronic music as an ondioline salesman and his first album came with his first partner in crime, Gershon Kingsley . The album's name is "The In Sound From Way Out" [...]
Jean Jacques Perrey from a performance in 2006 . Photo by Scott Beale / Laughing Squid . To say that Jean Jacques Perrey has made a significant contribution to contemporary popular culture is such a gross understatement of reality that it is almost laughable. His 1970 album Moog Indigo was one of the first instances that the Moog Synthesizer had been used extensively on wax, a piece of equipment that was one of the forefathers of a now incredible spectrum of instruments that have appeared on some of the [...]
No, this does not refer to my homeland in any way! :-) Artist: Jean-Jacques Perrey Tune: Groovy Lerechauns This excellent tune comes of the (also) excellent compilation ' At Home With The Groovebox ' that was released in 2000 on the now defunct Grand Royal label.
