In January, the ASIFA Hollywood Animation Archive began a series of podcasts on animation. In the first episode (A-HAA Podcast 001: Antran Manoogian on Raymond Scott) the keynote speaker is the President of the ASIFA-Hollywood, who discussed the influence of Raymond Scott's music on cartoons. Anyone who has ever seen a classic Warner Bros. cartoon has heard Scott's music. Despite the suitability of the music to animation, Scott did not write these well-known tunes for cartoons. He just wrote them. He did not even watch cartoons. The podcast post even features a video of Scott's Quintette performing War Dance for Wooden Indians.
Phenomenal. Thanks for posting.
