ScottWorks |The inaugural Raymond Scott Festival
"Raymond Scott was like an audio version of Andy Warhol - he preceded Pop-Art sensibilities, and he played with that line between commercial art and fine art mixing elements of both worlds together."
- Mark Mothersbaugh, Composer and founding member of Devo
Musician, inventor, and visionary Raymond Scott will be feted on September 8 at the Colony Theatre in Burbank, CA. As influential today as he ever has been, Scotts musical and technological achievements have become more widely known over the past 20 years.
ScottWorks is presented by Reckless Night Music, Raymond Scott's family, to coincide with what would have been his 110th birthday. The festival will include a daytime symposium on topics that range from Scotts 1930s jazz compositions to his 1960s electronic music inventions. There will be presentations, panels, gallery displays, and interactive exhibits during the day, followed by a concert at night featuring live performances to celebrate Scotts multi-dimensional music.
Every ticket includes a streaming passcode for "Deconstructing Dad," Stan Warnow's award-winning documentary about his father, Raymond Scott.
Limited number of tickets available, please order soon.
