This tribute is completely on target. Combining human voice, electronic music, imagination, used in advertisements and animation. Sound as art.

@puppetsandicecream I think one appreciates Scott better if one's mind runs at high idle, and is packed perhaps a little tighter than most folks'. I know it works that way for me - he speaks to the nervous, OCD side of my psyche.

I agree with you lucienpalmer this is a collage. That does nothing at all to detract from the beauty of collage however...One thing sure: RS is very cool.

Incredible.
Inspiring.
Innovative.
It sounds like he captured what was happening culturally at the time - pop culture, advertising, and art had all merged. And an explosion of technology and products created innovative tools and media - like this "electronic music" piece.
On a personal note, this is what the inside of my hectic and media saturated brain sounds like.
Totally fascinating - thank you.

I respectfully disagree.

it's just a bunch of raymond scott tracks all at once. So No, it isnt supposed to sound like that...someone is trying to do a kind of montage i guess....it's a nice Gesture....you didnt really do a good job though.

This isn't an original Raymond Scott piece; just in case people were wondering. I appreciate that a fan put this together, but its not at all representative of his work. I just don't want people to gt the wrong idea.
He was a very meticulous [almost anal] musician. Hs work is much more polished and purposeful. This is just a collage.

He was decades ahead of his time. Amazing.
