With this instrument, musicians were able to create many unique and new sounds. The ondioline is an electronic keyboard that was invented in 1941 by Georges Jenny. According to the National Sawdust, The Ondioline Orchestra is an “ensemble dedicated to preserving and extending the legacy” of the ondioline. Soon after, Gotye launched the Ondioline Orchestra. He was a pioneer for alternative pop and different rhythmic styles. In 2016, Jean-Jacques Perrey passed away. Fans will immediately recognize this as the classic Gotye sound featured in his solo albums. For example, The Basics released “Lookin’ Over my Shoulder” that has Gotye on lead. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren't some songs that sound like classic Gotye. While Gotye's voice is still used with The Basics, it is backed with heavy guitar and drums that give a rock and roll sound as opposed to the heavy electronic beats that fans are used to with Gotye. Gotye fans will automatically notice the difference in their sound. On May 27, 2017, The Basics released a live album titled In the Rude, celebrating the band's 15-year anniversary. In the years since, and after Tim Heath joined, they have created nine albums. In 2002, Gotye and Kris Schroeder met and formed a band called The Basics. Yet, with one look at his Twitter, it's easy to see he has been promoting many side projects that he's a part of.
Seven years has gone by and as far as the music world knows, Gotye has been pretty inactive. However, after his last album Making Mirrors released in 2011, Gotye pretty much disappeared in the music scene. As many people know, Gotye was behind the hit single “Somebody That I Used to Know." With many hit singles and a Grammy, one would think he would continue to make new music.
