Biography
[edit | edit source]Born in 1948, Perrier started music by practicing the cello before learning the piano and organ. He was a musician for the likes of Michel Fugain, Alain Bashung, Il était une fois, F. R. David, Gipsy Kings, Louis Chedid, and Gilbert Bécaud.
Perrier met Jean-Michel Jarre in 1973 during the recording of the album les Paradis perdus by Christophe. He then played keyboards, such as the Eminent 310 Unique, and joined Jarre in concerts in China.
In 1992, under the pseudonym "Terracotta", Perrier joined the Breton group Stone Age, which mixed Celtic music with electronics.[2] He also recorded music for the 2005 film Les gens honnêtes vivent en France, directed by Bob Decout.[3]
