RE/SEARCH PRESENTS: direct from France, JEAN JACQUES PERREY LIVE IN CONCERT - a truly rare/special event!

Tue, August 29, 2006 8pm sharp; doors open 7pm! Recombinant Media Labs, 763 Brannan/bet. 6th-7th Sts, San Francisco. $15. Venue holds only around 200 people, so come early! Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM. No more advance tickets, day of show, sorry.

Jean Jacques PERREY, resident of France, will play a live concert in San Francisco of "Happy Retro Moog Pop"! In the 60s, the 77-year-old composer produced some of the most amazingly inventive/humorous music ever collaged together with a razor blade and tape, on albums like The In Sound From Way Out. J-J Perrey's recent CD, Circus of Life, is one of the best recordings ever to grace our stereo system (every track is great).

Jean Jacques will play the Ondoline, accompanied by Dana Countryman. (Their new CD collaboration, The Happy ElectroPop Music Machine [Oglio Records], is scheduled for release on Sept 25, 2006.) This personal concert will be legendary and you will be glad you were there in an intimate setting--rabid fans of the music of Perrey and Kingsley should not miss this event! Please tell your Incredibly Strange Music collector-friends about this.

The RE/Search Incredibly Strange Music book contained the first interview with Jean Jacques Perrey in decades.

A note on the concert setting: Recombinant Media Labs seeks to foster radical methodologies for experiential engineering; exploring performative processes which expand the formal aesthetic and technological boundaries of spatial media synthesis and surround cinema. (Tana & Bryan are the RML facilitators.)
