The Sound Source: 'Cartoons and Weirdness' – A Tribute to Raymond Scott

"Date: Tuesday 14 October
Price: From £11.50

Curated by Society for the Promotion of New Music www.spnm.org.uk

The Sound Source is now based at Kings Place. It promises to be London’s premier experimental music series.

The first night celebrates the work and influence of Raymond Scott, a lost genius of the 20th Century. Bandleader, inventor and experimentalist – Scott’s career was diverse to say the least. He’s best known for inspiring the soundtracks for cartoons such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and The Simpsons, but in his time Scott also developed the first musical sequencer and even spent time as the head of electronic research and development at Motown Records. This spirit of adventure permeates the night, from the Stu Brown Sextet’s reinterpretation of Scott’s early work to Falco Subbuteo’s experimental electronica (featuring spnm shortlisted composer, Valerie Pearson). The Sound Source regulars no.w.here bring complementary films and The Open Source, curated by Music Orbit provides a unique platform for the best emerging composers and artists." more info
