Cover Notes: Pioneering Scottish-Canadian animator Norman McLaren (1914-1987) - creator of seminal short films Dots, Neighbours, Synchromy and many more - is remembered in first ever release of soundtrack works, self-composed from the 1940s to 1970s and forecasting the following half-century of electronic music. Norman McLaren was once described by composer, music theorist, and mathematician Milton Babbitt as 'the first electronic musician'. This compilation marks the first time his soundtracks have been released on record, carefully curated from his most important film works, hours of archival tapes, and multiple versions of the same key compositions.
