RAYMOND SCOTT REWIRED
ORIGINAL SCOTT RECORDINGS
PLAYFULLY REINVENTED
Three mixologists who work under group names — The Bran Flakes, The Evolution Control Committee, and Go Home Productions — were given access to hundreds of recordings owned by the Raymond Scott estate, spanning the 1930s to the 1980s: jazz, orchestral, electronic, experimental, studio chatter, never-heard rarities. They were invited to remix the parts, with the following directives: have fun, keep it rhythmic, and make it percolate. Each chemist contributed six audio montages with new titles, and they collaborated on Scott’s signature tune "Powerhouse."
The project, RAYMOND SCOTT REWIRED, produced by Scott historian/archivist Irwin Chusid, is now available from Basta and Amazon as CD, or as digital download via iTunes or Amazon. And elsewhere.
