Powerhouse On the Big Screen

Stan Warnow, son of the musican/composer/inventor Raymond Scott, is making a documentary about his father.

The film, titled On To Something, is due to hit the festival circuit in late 2008 or early 2009. If it doesn't make it to your town, the DVD release can't be far behind.

They already gave the doc treatment to Leon Theremin, Robert Moog and Bruce Haack -- a Scott doc was long overdue.

Unfamiliar with the music of Raymond Scott? You only think you are. And yes, although the man died in 1994, he has a MySpace page. Sigh.

Bonus music-movie news: A Death in the Life of Joe Meek is making the festival rounds now.
