As part of their ongoing "Biography" series, the non-profit Aural films commissioned 57 artists to create new music (and one video) using Raymond Scott audio samples from the electronica set, Manhattan Research Inc. The project, Biography 2: Raymond Scott, was undertaken with the support of Reckless Night Music LLC, the Scott heirs. Each artist created their own tribute to Scott's electronic music legacy. The full album is available for download on Bandcamp.
