The August 28 , 1949 San Antonio Light ( San Antonio , TX ) ran this article and cartoon about the “ head wave ” medicine of the future . The piece quote to a great extent from electronic euphony pioneerRaymond Scott .
CHICAGO , Aug. 27 – ( AP ) – Some day composers wo n’t write music , and musicians wo n’t play it – yet fans will revel it in never - before - listen perfection .
The composer or artist will just picture it by brain wave – “ thought transference , ” say Raymond Scott .
BRAIN WAVES
This man , who intend in terminus of electronics and music , thinks that is all quite potential . Scott said in an interview :
“ brain put out electrical waves . I would n’t be at all surprised if some day it were potential to do away with lines in medicine , such as writing it out and play the notes . You ’ll just be capable to think it .
“ Imagine fasten electrodes to your head , inviting some people to your home and then cogitate your medicine . If you wanted 1000 violins you could have them – and if you want the bass fiddle to play piccolo parts , you could do that , too . ”
RECORDINGS , TOO
Scott says even recordings will carry , instead of melodious audio , the brain waves of the composer . No arranger , no rehearsal .
Scott is a New Yorker who has spend most of his adult life work on on newfangled developments in his two loves , medicine and electronics . He hold a permanent electronics enquiry science laboratory in New York , while he composes euphony and directs his bands for tuner display and night club appearances . His melodic theories have always been off - rhythm .
