  • Aah yes!! I am a big fan of Raymond Scott's electronic music, and it is great to see the electronium getting restored!

    Good luck with the restauration, it really looks like a hell of a job!

  • @henk242 Yes it is a heck of a job. Darren and Chris have spent countless hours just cleaning each part! I will post more when we get the footage edited.

    Raymond Scott was a genius. I am learning so much about him just watching these two restore this treasure.

    Thanks

  • What a cool sound. It looks like you'll be really busy for a while documenting the unit but wow what a cool project. Best of luck in your restoration.

  • @PowerSalad Thank you! :)

  • This is great news, I hope the work is continuing and is ultimately successful, this instrument deserves to be heard and understood.

  • @jeshkam It is "Lullaby", the first track on the first "Soothing Sounds for Baby" volume from 1963. [VERY highly recommended]

  • Very very interesting stuff. What's the name of the song playing in the background?

  • Raymond Scott's music and people going back to it today is analogous to renaissance artists rediscovering classical antiquity.

  • Awesome, fantastic, incredible.

  • The sound of this machine is wonderful like a dream 

  • Really looking forward to see/hear more of this!

  • abolutely love it!!!!
