In addition, he worked with legendary recording artist Ray Conniff for many years and has also recorded his arrangements with both the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He most recently composed the score to the Gravitas Picture Samland.
He is a voting member of the Recording Academy and the Television Academy. Committed to giving back to his community, Perry serves on the board of directors for the Motion Picture Sound Editors organization and teaches the Media Scoring courses at "The Beach."
