Recording both as a solo creative person and in collaboration with Gershon Kingsley, Jean-Jacques Perrey helped popularise electronic music with a series of albums in the sixties that exploited Moog synthesizers, the ondioline, and magnetic tape measure. His act was never intended to be part of the newly wave, as Perrey himself cheerfully declared in his ocean ocean liner notes. His goal was to vulgarise electronic music by deploying it in happy, dim-witted tunes and arrangements. That's wherefore his euphony falls far closer to slowly listening/space age bulge out than whatever sort of cutting edge -- and that is too wherefore his music sounds more than cheesily nostalgic than futuristic these years.
In the betimes '50s, Perrey became transfixed by the ondioline, a keyboard legal document that hoped-for the synthesiser with its emulation of other instruments. He dropped come out of aesculapian schoolhouse to get a gross taxation illustration for the ondioline, and by the too soon '60s he'd moved to the U.S. to act in gawk box, wireless, and the transcription studio. His '60s albums for Van, both as a solo do and half of Perrey-Kingsley, were his most widely circulated, giving Perrey a prospect to certify his arsenal of electronic instruments, treatments, and taping manipulations. The actual results were spirited and childish, peradventure betraying more than of Perrey's considerable background signal in radio/TV jingles than genus Crataegus oxycantha have been intended. Treated to a greater extent as novelties than innovations, they came back into vogue when Perrey was profiled in RE/SEARCH's Fabulously Strange Music book in the 1890s. Perrey returned to France in 1970, where he continued to work in radio, TV, soundtracks, and former melodic projects. By the '90s he had begun recording once more, offset basis in a coaction with French electronica couple Air, then with an album of his possess, Eclektronics.
