Raymond Scott tribute videos

A great way to enjoy some Raymond Scott: footage from the Raymond Scott Centennial Tribute Concert, March 12, 2008 at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada.

These are from the 2005adamo channel on YouTube, which is a fantastic collection of Raymond Scott-related videos. If you don't already own it, I highly recommend this CD of Raymond Scott's music: Reckless Nights & Turkish Twilights.

Here's a video playlist on YouTube for the whole concert:

Also, there's another video that is about Scott's "Fascinations Machines," a collection of electronic instruments he designed in the early 1960s:

Poking around the Tube a little, I also found this trailer for what could be an interesting documentary, Raymond Scott: On to Something.

OK, one more thing: Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo owns Raymond Scott's Electronium instrument:

I've heard that Mothersbaugh is committed to getting the Electronium working again someday, which would be awesome!

Comments:

Oh, and there’s an official Raymond Scott website as well! It has pretty interesting FAQs, including one about Jim Henson that reminds me of something else I’ve been meaning to post . . .
