Wow! ...Happen onto tangible-interface synthesizers on YouTube and an hour is gone before you know it.
Raymond Scott would have loved these -- not to mention the waveTable.

I just discovered Raymond Scott stuff on FB! And I downloaded a Max Fleischer cartoon, with 'Powerhouse' behind it to my blog. I've been on the 'net since '92, but just not geeky enough until now to find this.
Now more?! Yikes! (and thanks)
gfa
I hope you don't mind. I copied the YouTube link and posted it on my blog (with h/t to YOU, of course)!
Great stuff!

It's okay with me! You do know there's a Raymond Scott documentary, filmed by his son, right? It's very good.
Thanks! I've seen it! FOR Years (since I was but a young lad) I loved the Raymond Scott music, especially on WB cartoons! As kids, we always called Powerhouse
'the Warner Bros. Industrial theme'! gfa

THIS just showed up on FB via Ebay!
(they want $49.95 - too rich for me)
...And it's sold! A;as, not to me.
I'm not satisfied with most covers of Quintette music. The Beau Hunks are extremely competent musicians but miss some of the intended effects -- "Reckless Night On An Ocean Liner" is a good example: the original is filled with "found" sounds, cleverly mimicked -- a steam engine chuffing away, gulls, buoy bells -- and the modern performance, beautifully performed and wonderfully-well recorded, doesn't quite convey them, even though they're playing every note.
