Three Willow Park

**Raymond Scott** (1908-1994) was a renowned bandleader, composer and pianist from the 1930s to the 1950s. Many of his playful riffs, originally recorded 1937-39 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, 1961-1971'*, 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.
