Raymond Scott (1908-1994) was a renowned bandleader, composer and pianist from the 1930s to the 1950s. Many of his playful riffs, originally recorded 193739 by the Raymond Scott Quintette, achieved familiarity in the soundtracks of Bugs Bunny cartoons. But he had an alter ego - inventor, professor in a lab coat, electronic music pioneer. In 1997 Basta reissued Scott's '1963 Soothing Sounds for Baby', which contained gentle, all-electronic lullabies designed to calm and delight infants. These pioneering explorations of synthesized rhythmic minimalism and low-key ambience foreshadowed the later work of Phillip Glass, Kraftwerk and Brian Eno. 'Three Willow Park: Electronic Music from Inner Space, 19611971', contains 62 previously unissued gems by Scott. Many feature hypnotic rhythm tracks played by Scott's Electronium - an invention which composed and performed using programmed intelligence. That Scott produced beat-oriented proto-techno before the 1970s explosion of electronic music and rhythms on the pop charts is a significant achievement that should not be overlooked. These recordings define and establish Scott's legacy in Electronic music history.
