The Tomorrow People

Jetson like Elroy. I always wondered why their apartment complexes were on stilts...some speculate its actually because the world was flooded and polluted so the people of tomorrow with their production of cogs and sprockets had to live in the sky. Laputa or something like it. Oh right..the music. Raymond Scott, genius beyond genius so I give you a selection of several notable tracks in order to illuminate his career as a soundmaker defining the soundscape that would signify the reality of the world of tomorrow. Early tracks like Powerhouse or War Dance for Wooden Indians are from his Big Band days many of his songs were featured in cartoons like Tom & Jerry. As a citizen of industry he helped design the sounds to which brands & corporations built their images upon. Whether a clever jingle for Sprite, Twinkies, NesCafe, Baltimore Gas & Electric or CBS News, these electronic tones and blips are now cemented in the aural lexicon. His later works which I find the most interesting "Soothing Sounds for a Baby" focus on a series of compositions developed to sooth and stimulate the baby based on their aural cognitive development; as the child grows and develops so do the soundscapes...(*my favorite "Sleepy Time" is included*)Jane...get me off this crazy thing...
