I am curious-
Recently I found a site with a wealth of original Star Trek
sounds- upon listening to them out of context I was really impressed with the
fact that someone back in the day was really talented with analog synthesis. I
also found if you slow down the communicator sound it sounds EXACTLY like frogs
singing. Does anyone know the background with the sound design on that show?
Although OT I would bet it is somehow related to the current topic!

Someone
who blows my mind and who I think of as a not often mentioned "looper" is
Raymond Scott. The guy was designing hardware from such things as telephone
relays and constructing rythmic and melodic loops going back to the
40's.
Most people only ever cite a few tunes he did that happened to
get used in cartoons, not that he was happy about this, or maybe his jazz
successes in the 30's. Sooting sounds for babies are amazing collections of
ideas for their time (early 60's). Even from the title you kind of get the
hint that Eno may have heard them huh?
if you're not up on the guy,
check out this genius on www.raymondscott.com
