Raymond Scott: On To Something...

As you’re no doubt aware if you’re in to such things, there is a Raymond Scott documentary in the works. Judging from the trailer (above) it looks like a fairly comprehensive and cool movie. Naturally, since the producers are making a documentary about a semi-obscure electronic music pioneer, for some bizarre reason they can’t get the backing of a major studio, and cash is in short supply. They could use a little help. Just to prove we don’t use all the money you spend on our plugins for hookers and blow (well, I don’t; I can’t speak for Adam), Audio Damage has donated $500 towards the film.

Even if you can’t spare $10 or whatever, you’d do yourself a great disservice by not reading the Wikipedia article about Mr. Scott at the very least. This guy invented a lot of the techniques we use today, and on top of that, provided the soundtrack to our childhood. He deserves a bit of remembering.
