perturbator

Perturbator is a noun formed from perturb- plus the agent suffix -ator, used to denote an agent that perturbs or disturbs a system. In technical contexts, a perturbator can refer to any instrument, force, parameter, or process introduced to create a perturbation in a model or physical system, for example in physics, engineering, or mathematics. The term is rarely used in everyday language outside specialized literature.

Perturbator is also the stage name of James Kent, a French electronic musician known for synthwave and darksynth. Kent has released multiple albums and built a reputation for cinematic, retro-futuristic soundscapes that blend 1980s synth textures with contemporary production. Under the Perturbator name, he has contributed to film and video game soundtracks and performed internationally, making him one of the better-known figures in the modern synthwave scene.
