Real Name: Gilbert John Mellé
Profile:
Born Dec. 31, 1931, New York City [some say Jersey City, N.J.] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Died Oct. 28, 2004, Malibu, California
Gil Mellé was a jazz saxophonist and respected visual artist, best known as a cutting-edge creator of electronically generated music.
His 1970 theme for "Night Gallery" was the first all-electronic main title for a TV series, and his music for 1971 sci-fi thriller "The Andromeda Strain" became the first all-synthesizer score for a feature film. In the 1970s and '80s, Gil Mellé composed traditional orchestral music for TV. He scored the TV movies "My Sweet Charlie," "That Certain Summer," four early episodes of "Columbo" and the first four episodes of the cult series "Kolchak: The Night Stalker."
His music lent itself to sci-fi and horror projects, including orchestral scores for the pilot of "The Six Million Dollar Man" and the four-hour "Frankenstein: The True Story" (1973), which he recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra. Gil Mellé created landmark electronic scores for sci-fi TV movies including "A Cold Night's Death" and the four-hour "World War III." He wrote and performed music for several telefilms dealing with sensational murders, including "Fatal Vision," Ted Bundy story "The Deliberate Stranger" and "The Case of the Hillside Strangler."
Mellé signed with Blue Note Records as a jazz performer at age 19. His artistic abilities also led to album-cover paintings for Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins, as well as art-gallery showings in New York. Melle and his group, the Electronauts, debuted electronic jazz at the 1967 Monterey Jazz Festival. The following year, Verve Records released his "Tome VI," the first all-electronic jazz album.
