Year of production: 1967. Later, this song inspired the Theme for Matt Groening's "Futurama".


WIKIPEDIA (EN): Pierre Henry (born December 9, 1927 in Paris, France) is a French composer, considered a pioneer of the musique concrète genre of electronic music.

Between 1949 and 1958, Henry worked at the Club d'Essai studio at RTF, founded by Pierre Schaeffer. During this period, he wrote the 1950 piece Symphonie pour un homme seul, in cooperation with Schaeffer; he also composed the first musique concrète to appear in a commercial film, the 1952 short film Astrologie ou le miroir de la vie. Henry has scored numerous additional films and ballets. Among Henry's best known works is the experimental 1967 album Messe pour le temps présent, one of several cooperations with choreographer Maurice Béjart featuring the popular track "Psyché Rock." In 1970 Henry collaborated with British rock band Spooky Tooth on the album Ceremony.

One of Henry's best-known influences on contemporary popular culture is to the theme song of the TV series Futurama. The tune is inspired by Henry's 1967 composition "Psyché Rock."


WIKIPEDIA (FR): Pierre Henry est un compositeur français de musique électroacoustique né le 9 décembre 1927 à Paris. Il est considéré comme l'un des pères de la musique électroacoustique, on lui doit notamment le très célèbre morceau Psyché Rock (co-écrit avec Michel Colombier).

A la fin de l'année 1949 débuta la collaboration entre Pierre Henry et le chorégraphe Maurice Béjart. C'est dans le cadre de cette collaboration que Pierre Henry réalisa son œuvre la plus connue du grand public : Messe pour le Temps Présent (qu'il a co-écrite avec Michel Colombier) comprenant le tube Psyché Rock. Messe pour le Temps Présent est un ballet chorégraphié par Maurice Béjart et dont la première eut lieu au festival d'Avignon en 1967.


WIKIPEDIA (DE): Pierre Henry (* 9. Dezember 1927 in Paris) ist ein zeitgenössischer französischer Komponist. Er gilt als Wegbereiter der elektronischen Musik und der Musique concrète.

Henry komponierte seit 1952 neben Ballett- auch Filmmusik. Er arbeitete unter anderem mit den Choreographen Maurice Béjart und Alwin Nicolais zusammen. Sein erfolgreichstes Werk ist die Messe pour le temps présent aus dem Jahr 1967. Mit Psyché Rock aus dieser Messe wandte er sich erstmals auch der Rockmusik zu. In Ceremony aus dem Jahre 1969 arbeitete er mit der Gruppe Spooky Tooth zusammen.
