The Lady Horrible recently mogged about an aging musician who was resting heavily on laurels unfortunately propped up by a legion of credulous enabling boomers. I couldn’t help but think of this when I was visiting the website of one of the most sampled electronic artists of all time, Jean-Jacques Perrey (wikipedia link which also talks about collaborator Gershon Kingsley here). See below for proof of Perrey’s mastery. He also seems to be a sweet old man who doesn’t mind inexplicably carrying around stuffed animals on stage. I have a new role model.
Below, Perrey’s 2006 performance of “E.V.A.” from Perrey’s 1971 album, Moog Indigo with current collaborator Dana Countryman. Don’t they make it look easy?
