Re: Raymond Scott
dear Ned: well, Scott was a surprise to all of us. I went to the Concordia concert, and perhaps I was the only 'higher echelon of electro' that was there. Great jazz orchestra, good re-creations of Scott instruments, and I wet the guys promoting the tour and selling his CDs [I bought them all: a revelation]. I understand that one rare copy of the Clavivox is in the 'Keyboard Museum' in Calgary [I have been there].Scott was not part of the 'university' e/a experimentation, so even if I lived in NYC when his lab was in Long Island...I never hear of him at the time. Ussachevsky did mention and sent me to meet Le Caine but not a word about Scott.The guys promoting his CDs [4 or 5] are: Gert-Jan Blom, Jeff Winner and Irwin Chusid. They all came to Concordia. Look for proper contact by going to I repeat myself: I went to the concert and had a ball. [I also went to probably the last concert - la Sala Rossa - with Henri Chopin. Historic!]IO will definitely incorporate something of Scott in my teachings...Love to all, alcidesOn May 3, 2008, at 2:25 PM, Ned Bouhalassa wrote:Maybe I was asleep, sick, etc, but I don't remember hearing about this US version of Hugh Le Caine while I was at Concordia. I only 'discovered' him though a CBC report last week or so. What an amazing inventor! So ahead of his time. Has anyone on the list ever met him? Has anyone ever seen the Electronium or Videola or Clavivox in person? I'd love to hear some stories,. I know that there was a concert at Concordia recently - which prof was responsible for organizing this?Bed ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| N e d B o u h a l a s s a b l o g + a u d i o : http://youshootiscore.com____________________ alcides lanza6351 Trans-Island AvenueMontreal, Quebec H3W 3B7(514) 733-7216 (514) 398-4535 ext. 0544 McGill pages:www.music.mcgill.ca/~alcideshttp://coltrane.music.mcgi=
