Biography
Stalling started his career as an accompanist for silent films on the piano and theater organ in Independence, Missouri. It was there that he met and befriended a young Walt Disney who was producing animated comedy shorts in the Kansas City region. Stalling composed several early cartoon scores for Walt Disney, including Plane Crazy and Gallopin’ Gaucho in 1928, (but not Steamboat Willie, Disney’s first released sound short). Early discussions with Disney about whether the animation or the musical score should come first led to Disney creating the “Silly Symphonies” series of cartoons. These cartoons allowed Stalling to create a score which Disney handed to his animators. While there, Stalling pioneered the use of “bar sheets” which allowed the musical rhythms to be sketched out simultaneously with the storyboards for the animation. He left Disney after only two years, at the same time as animator Ub Iwerks. Finding few outlets in New York, Stalling rejoined Iwerks at his own studio in California, while freelancing for Disney and others.

Totally agree iamholgerczukay. The separation from the images suddenly confronts you with the masterful composition and execution of these constantly shifting, loony pieces.

All I can say is: Thank you Looney Tunes for bringing me to this! As a kid I took this music for granted, the music fit so well as the sounds of the movement, the action. Listening to it separately you can really appreciate how manic it is, dynamically it's absolutely all over the place.
