.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. out @ SPV CARLOS PERÓN sagt: "Ich arbeite wie ein Filmregisseur. Da ist zunächst eine Vision, wie ein Stück klingen soll. Verschiedene Musiker, die ich um mich versammle, setzten diese Idee dann perfekt in Sounds um." Aussenstehende behaupten zuweilen, dass PERÓN wie ein Gefängniswärter agiert. Vielleicht ein Grund, warum sich die verschiedenen Projekte so ausgereift zeigen. CARLOS PERÓN war Gründer der weltweit bekannten Kult-Band YELLO und Initiator des weltweit ersten Videoclips „The evening..s young“ aus dem zweiten Album „Claro que si“ und fünf Jahre aktives Mitglied. Nach dem dritten YELLO-Album "You Gotta Say Yes to Another Excess", welches 1983 auch die erste CD der Welt war, verlässt CARLOS die Gruppe im Jahr 1984, um zahlreiche gewagte Solo-Projekte anzugehen. Viele Musikkritiker sind sich einig: mit Beendigung seiner aktiven Phase verlor YELLO seinen rauen Schliff. Im selben Jahr komponiert CARLOS den Score für den Film "Die Schwarze Spinne". Zwischen 1985 und 1992 wird er beauftragt, zwei weitere Werke zu schaffen: „Die Schöpfung der Welt“ und das Konzeptalbum "Gold for Iron“. In dieser Zeit entsteht die Idee zum Song „Motorman“. Er nutzt diese Zeit auch, sein Anssehen als Produzent zu stärken und realisiert Remixe für das "Munich Symphonic Sound Orchestra", "Brainticket", "Wolfsheim", "Sielwolf" und zahlreiche weitere Projekte. Auch die "Impersonator 2"-Alben 1 bis 3 werden in dieser Zeit veröffentlicht, die – wie keine anderen Veröffentlichungen - die experimentelle Ader von PERÓN aufzeigen. Ende der 80er erfolgt der Major-Wechsel zu Teldec Records mit dem Album "Gold for Iron". Im Anschluss komponiert er die Musik für die TV-Show von Harald Schmidt "Schmidteinander". 1992 entwickelt er die Musik für die Mode-Performance "Terminatrix", die vom TV-Sender "Premiere" finanziert und präsentiert wird. Sein erfolgreiches Schaffen führt er mit dem Science-Fiction Autor Ady Henry Kiss (suhrkamp edition) fort. Für diesen erfindet er ein neues Genre: "Den Film auf Papier". Als begleitende musikalische Untermalung erscheinen die "Original Novel Soundtracks" CARLOS.. Spitzname ist "Mr. Dom". Als einer der wenigen Komponisten wagt er die Verwendung von sehr tiefgreifenden Hallwolken. Ebenso ist er für seine "Lärmatmosphären" bekannt, die er lange vor Einführung der Sampling-Technologie einsetzt. Mit Aufkommen des Sound-Sampling..s ist er einer der Ersten, die ultimative Maschinen wie den Fairlight, Emulator oder Mirage benutzen. Bei "YELLO" arbeitete CARLOS vielleicht als weltweit erster Sampling-Meister. Im privaten Leben ist CARLOS PERÓN ein leidenschaftlicher Koch. Die Parties, die in seinem Haus gefeiert werden, sind berühmt. Eines seiner Lieblings-Rezepte sind Froschschenkel à la provencale. Guten Appetit! English version: Born in Zürich as the son of a businessman and a landlady who ran the legendary Ristorante Pizzeria Napoli - the first pizzeria in Switzerland. At the age of four Carlos Perón was able to bake his first own pizza. During his pre-school and primary school years he often visited the sculptors Otto Müller and Silvio Mattioli at the Künstlerhaus in Zürich. There he learned abstract concept thinking. From the first primary class on he had classical flute lessons. After finishing secondary school he trained to become a coffee businessman. The first single he got was ‘Tom Dooley’ performed by The Kingston Trio. It was a gift from his niece Beatrice Tschanz. The first sound Carlos Perón ever recognized in his life was the noise of a telephone dial selector and the song O sole mio by famous opera singer Enrico Caruso. In 1964 he started to collect electronic music as a collector. In the 60s he saw a concert by the famous composer Karlheinz Stockhausen at the Verkehrshaus in Lucerne. The cycle ‘Kommunion und Intensität’ (Communion and Intensity) influenced Carlos Perón so much that he started his own electronic music concept. He started with a Grundig TK24L to record noise pictures and laughing orgies. He played these sounds at New Years Eve to his teachers. The reaction was conflicting. His first solo album ‘Impersonator I’ is full of these musique concrète trifles. Carlos Perón started as a keyboard player in the new wave band URLAND in Zürich. He played with drummer Sternini, bass player Ron Styler and guitarist Boris Blank. After the split of the band Carlos Perón founded the TRANCEONIC studio in Zürich together with Boris Blank. In this experimental studio the two developed what would later on become the famous Yello sound. 1978: Carlos Perón and Boris Blank made a trip to USA to sell their music to the US music industry. They visited RCA in Los Angeles and The Residents in San Francisco. After returning to Switzerland Dieter Meier showed up and sung on a demo of the fragmentary track I.T. Splash. Carlos Perón was euphoric, but Boris Blank was skeptical - he would rather have a female singer. In 1979 the studio moved to Dieter Meier..s atelier at the Rote Fabrik, and later on the trio Yello was founded. Also the first maxi single of Yello came out with (with ‘I.T. Splash’ and ‘Glue Head’) on the label Periphery Perfume which was managed by Peter Preissle. In 1980 Yello rejected a record contract offered by Klaus Schulze, they preferred a contract with Ralph Records in San Francisco owned by the Residents. The first Yello album Solid pleasure came out and it was a boom. In 1981 Carlos Perón released his first solo album Impersonator I on the label Konkurrenz/Phonogram, and Yello got a long term major deal on Phonogram through the managing director Louis Spillmann. In the same year the Yello album Claro Que Si and the soundtrack to Dieter Meier..s film Jetzt und Alles came out, and also Yello’s first video (to the track The Evening’s Young). In 1983 Carlos Perón released the soundtrack to the film Die Schwarze Spinne by director Mark M. Rissi on the label Milan Disques. At the same time Yello issued their third LP You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess. In 1984 Carlos Perón left Yello in order to realize many outrageous solo works, and he founded the label Kristall sound. In 1985 he released his first oratorio ‘Die Schöpfung der Welt; oder 7 Tage Gottes’, again on Milan Disques. On the same label he published the video soundtrack to the bone hard war movie ‘Commando Leopard’ by famous producer Erwin C. Dietrich starring Klaus Kinki and Lewis Collins - Carlos Perón was consequently the first one who extracted a music video from a motion picture in order to promote it. The success was phenomenal. In the USA Carlos Perón got the first McDonalds campaign. From 1985 on he developed the gold project which was finally sold to TELDEC worldwide. In 1988 Carlos Perón started the Impersonator series on the label ‘Play It Again, Sam’ in Brussels. In 1990 Carlos Perón composed the music for German comedian Harald Schmidt for his show Schmidteinander and he also acted in three episodes of the show. From 1991 on Carlos Perón worked with label owner Lothar Gärtner of Strange Ways Records. He produced solo works and also bands like Wolfsheim, Sielwolf, The Cain Principle, Stalin, Cyrus, Recall and many others. In this phase he created the so called fetish soundtracks like Terminatrix and La salle blanche. In 1998 Carlos Perón brought the forgotten singer/songwriter Joachim Witt to Lothar Gärtner. The idea to produce a single with the singer Peter Heppner of Wolfsheim called Die Flut came to Carlos Perón and Lothar Gärtner during a typical fishmeal with loads of white wine at the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken in Hamburg. Jochachim Witt was euphoric and begun to work. Unfortunately Lothar Gärtner died a premature death in December of 2005. From 2006 on the music company SPV releases Carlos Perón..s entire solo works on Revisited Records worldwide. He also works independently with opera librettist Osberth LcLellan on ‘Das Musical der >>0<<’, ‘Die Oper des Saladin’ and other stuff. At Revisited Records Carlos Perón is in good company with artist like Klaus Schulze, Amon Düül II, Holger Czukay, KRAAN and Pete Townsend of The Who. Carlos Perón is working worldwide as a music producer and some people say he is acting with the singers and musicians like a prison warden - perhaps one reason why his various projects seem so mature. One of his favourite dishes is frog legs à la provencale.
