Three mixologists who work under group names — The Bran Flakes, The Evolution Control Committee, and Go Home Productions — were given hundreds of recordings owned by the Raymond Scott estate, spanning the 1930s to the 1980s: jazz, orchestral, electronic, experimental, studio chatter, never-heard rarities. Each chemist contributed six audio montages with new titles, and they collaborated on Scott’s signature tune “Powerhouse.”
The project, RAYMOND SCOTT REWIRED, was produced by Scott historian/archivist Irwin Chusid, and was released on March 20, 2014 on the Basta label.
