Raymond Scott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Raymond Scott (September 10, 1908 – February 8, 1994), was a Russian-American composer, orchestra leader, pianist, engineer, recording studio maverick, and electronic instrument inventor. |
 | | Scott called his musical style "descriptive jazz," and gave his pieces unusual titles like "New Year's Eve in a Haunted House," "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals," and "Reckless Night on Board an Ocean Liner." While popular with the public, jazz audiences disdained it as novelty music. |
 | | Scott credits himself as inventor of the sequencer (although these electromechanical devices, some with motors moving photocells past lights, bore little resemblance to the all-electronic sequencers of the late sixties). |
