Raymond Scott - Lightworks (Late 50s???)


It's tough to get an accurate date on this one. Suffice to say it's from the late 50's early 60's. Raymond Scott, as some will know, is one of the very early electronic musicians. Accredited (although not by himself) with desiging and building one of the very first synthesizers he never really saw himself as an artist. He preferred to make little jingles, music for children and audio experiments. The above 'Lightworks' refers to a line of cosmetics from the late 50s/early 60s featuring eye shadow, blush and lipstick.
