11557132-103819300We’re trying something new — some independent filmmakers are adding other merchandise besides the film itself as a way to augment our almost always minimal income, and we’re joining that movement. It’s a way you can get Raymond Scott and Deconstructing Dad related merchandise, and continue to support the film, plus by wearing this stuff you’ll help spread the word….

We’ve set up a small online shop via a company called Spreadshirt where you can see what’s available and order, and of course I’m hoping you do! Here’s a link to the new Merch Table page on this site, which has more details and backstory, or click here to go to the store. Electronium T Shirt DetailThanks!

John Ewing, Associate Director, Film at the Cleveland Museum of Art

The Cleveland Museum of Art possesses one of the oldest museum film programs in the United States. and is a  major year-long presence that attracts thousands of people to the museum. They present at least two different feature films every week (on Wednesday nights, Fridays nights, or Sunday afternoons) and I’m honored that they’ve chosen my film to be one of them.  Many thanks to John Ewing, Associate Director for Film at the museum for seeking the film out by contacting me.

Again, though I’d love to visit Cleveland as haven’t been there in awhile, my current schedule just doesn’t allow for it, but hope you can make it!

Walt Disney Concert Hall show in LA: Oingo Boingo’s Steve Bartek & Ego Plum November 9th, 8:30 pm

8 11 2012
Sorry to be a bit late with this, but I have a good excuse as the Hurricane Sandy has complicated my life recently!  For everyone in and around L.A. some exciting news: REDCAT, CalArts’ downtown center for contemporary arts is presenting,  in cooperation with JEFF E. WINNER of The Raymond Scott Archives, a special evening celebrating Raymond Scott. Machine-Man: The Musical Mayhem of Raymond Scott will be held at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater on Friday, November 9 at 8:30 pm.  (Jeff is also co-producer of the film and also a major character in it and out of it!) ,

In this unprecedented celebration of Scott’s polymorphic career, former OINGO BOINGO Short Term Loans UK co-founder and guitarist STEVE BARTEK and his band (including other Oingo Boingo alums) find new takes on the composer’s early cartoon classics, while composer EGO PLUM’s ensemble re-envisions Scott’s farsighted electronica. Joining in is the Rogue Artists Ensemble who will stage a first-ever live interpretation of a vintage Scott film collaboration with MUPPETS creator JIM HENSON.

AND though I can’t be there there will be a merchandise table and the DVD of the film will be for sale there.  Hope you can make it!

Raymond Scott on 30 ROCK Thursday Oct 18!

17 10 2012

Yes, tune in tomorrow night for Raymond Scott’s return to NBC.  As you probably know, during the 1950s, Raymond Scott was seen by millions of NBC television viewers every week on the show YOUR HIT PARADE.  Tomorrow night (Oct. 18th), Scott’s music returns to NBC-TV — his tune “Rococo” will be the score for the closing sequence on the multi-award winning series, 30 ROCK. As Executive Producer and Composer, Jeff Richmond said, “I write all the music for 30 Rock and I wanted to thank you for the Raymond Scott piece. Truly hip. It has a very important use. It’s at the end and helps tie all the story lines together.”

I know this isn’t directly related to the film, but it’s all part of the Raymond Scott matrix and I couldn’t resist letting the readers/followers of this know about it.  And speaking of matrixes and connections, 30 Rock is of course the brain child of Saturday Night Live writer/performer Tina Fey, SNL is produced in studio 8H (at 30 Rockefeller Plaza), and that’s where YOUR HIT PARADE was produced in the 1950s — so it’s all connected!

Hope you can tune in and watch, I will be….
