psyche rock (Full Version)

Pierre Henry (born December 9, 1927 in Paris, France) is a French composer, considered a pioneer of the musique concrète genre of electronic music.
Between 1949 and 1958, Henry worked at the Club d'Essai studio at RTF, founded by Pierre Schaeffer. During this period, he wrote the 1950 piece Symphonie pour un homme seul, in cooperation with Schaeffer; he also composed the first musique concrète to appear in a commercial film, the 1952 short film Astrologie ou le miroir de la vie. Henry has scored numerous additional films and ballets. Among Henry's best known works is the experimental 1967 album Messe pour le temps présent, one of several cooperations with choreographer Maurice Béjart featuring the popular track "Psyché Rock." In 1970 Henry collaborated with British rock band Spooky Tooth on the album Ceremony.
One of Henry's best-known influences on contemporary popular culture is to the theme song of the TV series Futurama. The tune is inspired by Henry's 1967 composition "Psyché Rock

This song is 48 years old!!! Quel merveilleux artiste, injustement mésestimé, inconnu. L'electro lui doit énormément. Cette composition sonne totalement moderne, pas du tout datée, rares sont les artistes ayant réussi ça!

[@ThePapy62]

il est le maitre en electro 2019 j"adore

[@alainb2951]

Let's do justice! The real original composer of this theme is the great Michel Colombier (Lyon, 1939 - Santa Monica, 2004). This tune is an excerpt of the record "Messe pour le temps présent" (piece of genius!), which was the soundtrack of a ballet by Maurice Béjart. The electronic music composer Pierre Henry (Paris, 1927 - Paris, 2017) worked with Michel Colombier on this project and added all the electronic gimmicks you can hear on the original 1967 album, but most of the work was written by Michel Colombier. As a matter of fact, you can go further back in time since "Psyché Rock" was freely inspired by "Louie Louie", composed and performed by Richard Berry in 1956 and covered by The Kingsmen in 1963.

[@Nekoma42]

Let me clear everything! La version que l'on écoute ici est un remix de Fatboy Slim (donc ça n'a pas 48 ans, mais l'originale si et tout ce qui a été dit par Alain B et juste ^^)
