Cecil Leuter
Cecil Leuter was the name French composer and bandleader Roger Roger (1911-1995) used for his electronic music. Roger was born in Rouen and spent most of his career writing light orchestral and library music. As Cecil Leuter he worked with the Moog synthesizer, and in 1969 he released the album Pop Electronique under that name. Roger was leading bands by the age of 18 and scored French films, among them Fou d'amour (1943) and L'atomique Monsieur Placido (1950). After the war he joined the Chappell Recorded Music Library in London, and his pieces were used widely on radio, television and film.
