R.I.P. Jean-Jacques Perrey

Electronic music pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey has died after a long battle with lung cancer. He was 87.

Perrey was one of the first to adopt the Moog synthesizer and the Ondioline into his work, making him a progenitor of electronic and ambient music. He was known for his work with Harry Breuer, Angelo Badalamenti, and Gershon Kingsley, as well as numerous sampling credits from various artists.

Watch one of his live performances below:

I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the article, but this guy did the song the Futurama theme song was based on. Back in 1967.
