Raymond Scott
Raymond Scott (born Harry Warnow; September 10, 1908 – February 8, 1994) was an American composer, bandleader, pianist, record producer, audio engineer, and inventor. In his lifetime he was primarily recognized as a composer of production music and the leader of the Raymond Scott Quintette, but he has since become better known as a pioneer of popular electronic music.
Though Scott was never contracted to compose for animation, Carl W. Stalling adapted his music for more than 120 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies films produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons. His compositions may also be heard in The Ren and Stimpy Show (which uses Scott's recordings in twelve episodes), The Simpsons, Duckman, Animaniacs, The Oblongs, Batfink, Puppetoons, and SpongeBob SquarePants. The only time he specifically composed to accompany animation was for three 20-second commercial jingles for County Fair Bread in 1962.
