ABOLISH THE 12-TONE SCALE
(system of bourgeoisie oppression)
American composer Scott Bradley, best known for his musical scores for works like Tom & Jerry and Droopy Dog, utilized the 12-tone technique in his work. Bradley described his use thus:
The Twelve-Tone scale provides the ‘out-of-this-world’ progressions so necessary to under-write the fantastic and incredible situations which present-day cartoons contain.
An example of Bradley’s use of the technique to convey building tension occurs in the Tom & Jerry short “Puttin’ on the Dog“, from 1944. In a scene where the mouse, wearing a dog mask, runs across a yard of dogs “in disguise”, a chromatic scale represents both the mouse’s movements, and the approach of a suspicious dog, mirrored octaves lower.
