Raymond Scott | Powerhouse

One of my absolute favorite pieces of music, and one that has had a tremendous amount of influence on me, only in part because of Carl Stalling’s heavy use of this (and other Scott themes) in the background music for Warner Brothers cartoons.

The piano intro to the second section - robotic, mechanical - is perfection. 

His approach was interesting - no written score - and he was an electronic music pioneer as well…
