Thomas Sebasian Smolenski writes:
"A few years ago I obtained some sheet music from the Raymond Scott archives so I might perform it for the soundtrack of my college senior thesis animation. Unfortunately I was never able to finish the animation or record the music because of the schedule I was on.
"What I finished (basically sans ending ... and a weak middle...) is available on YouTube.
"Recently I've been working in animation in and around Manhattan, and I've really wanted to play Scott's music again — mostly for myself, not so much for a soundtrack."
"Good Morning Cephalgia" contains five Raymond Scott Quintette recordings ("Powerhouse," "The Penguin," "Toy Trumpet," "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals," and "In an 18th Century Drawing Room"). 
Smolenski is currently working at a studio called Flickerlab and animating a short for Conan O'Brien called "Pale Force."
Cheers! Mr. Smo's thesis is grand. Thanks for posting it!
