| Description: | CINETOPICALITIES IN BRIEF (NO. 74) An all electric orchestra. At a New Jersey amusement park in the United States of America we see the world's first all-electric orchestra playing a tune called 'Powerhouse' by Raymond Scott. The musicians play electronic instruments (mostly violins) that are plugged into amplifiers controlled by the conductor. Superimposed visuals of generators whirling round. Logo on the music stands reads 'Cracraft' - could be name of orchestra or of a section of the amusement park. | |
