I'm very sad to report that my friend, Bob Moog, genius-inventor of the Moog synthesizer, passed away on August 21st, 2005.

Jean Jacques' next CD will be a collaboration with long-time pal, Dana Countryman. The CD will to be called: THE HAPPY ELECTROPOP MUSIC MACHINE. Perrey and Countryman have co-written 10 new tunes for the CD, as well as adding 5 more tunes by other composers.

In early September, they will be in the studio, hard at work at recording the CD, which is planned for release in early 2006. Guest musicians (so far) include Dick Hyman and Vinnie Bell. Artist Joe Lacey is creating fantastic science fiction artwork for the CD.

Summer, 2003-Winter, 2004: Jean Jacques Perrey's music has been heard in hundreds of commercials. Currently, his tune "E.V.A." can be heard in the Zelnorm commercial. Zelnorm is a women's irritable bowel syndrome medicine. If you've seen this commercial, it's hard to forget. It features various 30-something aged women, lifting the bottoms of their shirts to reveal different words. What a concept!

A note from Dana Countryman, former editor/publisher for Cool and Strange Music Magazine:

Winter, 2004: "I am currently working on a book on Jean Jacques' life and amazing music. I've already interviewed Mssr. Perrey for a week, while at his home in Europe in the summer of 2003. I have also interviewed his daughter Patricia in her home in Switzerland, and I'm in the process of interviewing many of his friends and musical associates here in America, including Vinnie Bell, Gershon Kingsley, Angelo Badalameni, Lisa Haugen-Davis, David Chazam, Billy Mure, Jack Diamond, Vic Vale and many others. More info on this, as it develops."
