Description
LIMITED EDITION LP. Jean-Jacques Perrey was one of the earliest innovators in electronic music, creating a body of work spanning decades that has influenced everyone from Eno to The Beastie Boys. One of the pioneers of musique concrète and electronic tape manipulation, Prélude Au Sommeil (Prelude to Sleep) is Perrey’s debut recording but shows a composer already at maturity. Originally released at the end of the fifties, as a private press under the fake institutional name Institut Dormiphone, Prélude au Sommeil consisted of 2 side-long tracks played on the Ondioline (George Jenny’s 1941 vacuum-tube based, spring-loaded electronic instrument). The music contained in this mysterious vinyl is like something between dreamy church organ hymns and the keyboard-based minimalism that Philip Glass and Terry Riley developed a decade later. Limited edition of 500 copies.
