Raymond Scott (1908-1994) was a renowned bandleader, composer and pianist from the 1930s to the 1950s. Many of his playful riffs, originally recorded 1937–39 by the Raymond Scott Quintette, achieved familiarity in the soundtracks of Bugs Bunny cartoons.

But Scott had an alter ego — inventor, professor in a lab coat, electronic music pioneer. In 1997 Basta reissued Scott's 1963 Soothing Sounds for Baby, a series of electronic lullabies to pacify infants. These explorations of synthesized rhythmic minimalism and low-key ambience foreshadowed the later work of Phillip Glass, Kraftwerk and Brian Eno.

In 2000, Basta issued Manhattan Research Inc., a 2-cd set of 69 tracks recorded 1953–69, spotlighting Scott's more advanced but equally groundbreaking electronica. MRI also presented some of the earliest TV & radio commercials to feature electronic music, as well as early film soundtrack collaborations with Jim Henson.

Basta is now releasing Three Willow Park: Electronic Music from Inner Space, 1961–1971, containing 62 previously unissued gems by Scott. Many feature hypnotic rhythm tracks played by Scott's Electronium — an invention which composed and performed using programmed intelligence. That Scott produced beat-oriented proto-techno before the 1970s explosion of electronic music and rhythms on the pop charts is a significant achievement that should not be overlooked.

Willow Park Center was an industrial rental complex of offices and warehouses in a Long Island suburb where Scott set up shop in 1965. He operated a musical lab — researching, experimenting, testing. He twirled knobs, flipped switches, and took notes. He installed equipment and machines, and used them to build new equipment and machines. This makeshift compound remained Scott's workspace and bedroom until 1971, when he decamped for L.A. to work for Berry Gordy at Motown.

Scott was a highly qualified engineer and a conservatory-trained (Juilliard) musician. He could compose, arrange, perform, improvise and edit, but given a shelf of hardware and a soldering iron, he could also rig an appliance to further his musical aims. Like many visionaries, Scott foreshadowed the future. He developed technological processes which were pivotal in the evolution of the fax machine. He composed a "silent" piece years before John Cage's 4' 33". He predicted (in 1944) that composers would someday reach audiences via thought transference. He applied for and was awarded numerous patents. Foremost, he developed electronic and automated sound-generating technology to craft the elements of pop music at a time when circuit-made sound was largely a novelty, used in "serious" works, or cranked-up for special effects in science fiction films.

In 1946, while still leading jazz bands, Scott established Manhattan Research, Inc., billed as "Designers and Manufacturers of Electronic Music and Musique Concrète Devices and Systems." By the 1950s, he was using his inventions to produce commercials with electronic soundtracks, as well as developing automated sequencer technology. His friend and colleague Bob Moog said, "Scott was definitely in the forefront of developing electronic music technology and using it commercially as a musician."

Besides the Electronium, sounds heard on Three Willow Park were generated by the Circle Machine; Clavivox; Bass-Line Generator; Bandito the Bongo Artist (a drum machine); tone, melody, rhythm and sound effects generators (some controlled, others random); oscillators, sequencers, and modulators; tape montages; and acoustic instruments and voices. These recordings, like those on MRI, define and establish Scott's legacy in electronic music history.
