Jean Jacques Perrey UK Art Music Dance Electronica Performance

This was a multimedia project in 1997 from Vibration Obscure. It was performed in the Durham Town Hall in the north of England, and was Perrey's first project after a 20 year retirement. I co-created the visuals, remixed 45 minutes worth of audio (i wish I still had that!) and created the real-time visuals.

In recent years, arts collective vibration obscure have mined the rich veins of audio archaeology, to generate future environments of sound & vision. we are honoured to present an exclusive UK appearance from jean jacques perrey. a pioneer of the moog synthesiser, perrey's 1970 classic 'e.v.a.' was adopted by lucozade as the soundtrack to their tv ads campaign, & remixed by fatboy slim (norman cook). as a musical scientist, perrey spent a lifetime researching the therapeutic effects of sound upon human & animal species. as a scientific musician he arranged musique concrete into rhythmic loops in the 1960s, discovering sampling techniques before the invention of sampling technology. a collaborative audio-visual project addressing the consequences of electronic frequencies.
