From the early '70s to the mid-80s, this self-taught French musician composed about twenty albums of production and library music with generic cover art and titles ('Out Of The Way', 'Magical Ring', 'Keys Of The Future', 'Pulsations', 'More And More', etc.) that evoke interstellar travel. These experimental discs, made with love, humility and rudimentary means, had no other purpose than to accompany other peoples' images. However, now Jean Pierre Decerf is given the credits he deserves: that of an innovator whose rhythmic, synthetic compositions inspired the harbingers of the French Touch (Air comes to mind), not to mention some East Coast rappers.
