about
Carlos Peron (b. Carlos Perón in Zürich, Switzerland), was the son of a businessman & a landlady, who ran - the first pizzeria in Switzerland - Ristorante Pizzeria Napoli. When four, Carlos was able to bake pizza. The first sounds he recognized was that of a telephone dial selector & Caruso's O Sole Miothe. During pre-school / primary school years, he often visited the sculptors Otto Müller & Silvio Mattioli (Künstlerhaus, Zürich) - where he learned abstract thinking. From the first primary class, onwards, he studied classical flute. After finishing secondary school he trained to become a coffee businessman. Musical beginnings - The first single he got was ‘Tom Dooley’ performed by The Kingston Trio. It was a gift from his niece Beatrice Tschanz. 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. Bands and studios 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.
