1998 – 2012 : Day For Night Multimedia Client Portfolio

April of 1998 marks the start date of Eric Scott’s career as Cre­ative Direc­tor with Day For Night Mul­ti­me­dia.

After a very pro­duc­tive “hia­tus” of three months, re-invention and focus­ing pri­or­i­ties from his pre­vi­ous role as Art Direc­tor with World­West Com­mu­ni­ca­tions, Eric moved all of his atten­tion on devel­op­ing a com­pact and flex­i­ble stu­dio envi­ron­ment; one which required lit­tle or no over­head and min­i­mal cost out­lay. The first com­mer­cial pitch was a home run: to Touch­stone Television/Imagine Entertainment/Disney Online, for the design of a web pres­ence for “Felic­ity” res­i­dent advi­sor Noel Crane.

The objec­tive was two-fold; to cre­ate a viral mar­ket­ing and word-of-mouth piece for the show, and allow for there to be spirit of dis­cov­ery and renewal for fans of the show, who would dis­cover, by only the most casual of men­tions, that fic­ti­tious Noel’s home­page really did exist online. Today, a com­mon­place enough occur­rence, but a pretty rad­i­cal idea, back in 1998, when only the elite seemed to under­stand web tools well enough to devise a min­i­mal­is­tic presence.

1991–2012 : Eric Scott : Label Art Direction | Day For Night

With instru­men­tal, and espe­cially tex­tural elec­tronic music, the pri­mary rel­e­vance of music is clear­est – namely, that music doesn’t really mean any­thing – it doesn’t need all sorts of lyrics and words and gim­micks in order to be suc­cess­ful.” There­fore, it feels appro­pri­ate that a non-narrative pre­sen­ta­tion for­mat needed to be devel­oped for Day For Night, to allow for indi­vid­ual die-cut pan­els, which could be viewed in any par­tic­u­lar sequence within a given set of 10, just like random-shuffle pro­gram­ming on a CD player… Let’s face it, by 1991, there was no longer any real pac­ing of book­let con­tent to dig­i­tal audio listening.

In late 1991, Eric Scott – a dis­en­fran­chised young record­ing engi­neer and stu­dio bof­fin – accepted a night-time design posi­tion with a local graphic design pro­duc­tion house. In the mind of teach­ing him­self vitally-needed Aldus Free­hand skills, and exper­i­ment­ing with design and lay­out ideas, Eric worked dili­gently for a year, build­ing out an as-yet non-existent art direc­tion port­fo­lio, between the hours of 10PM and 3AM every morn­ing, before lock­ing up the stu­dio dur­ing the final shift of the night.

Eric’s ear­li­est projects were to evolve into cover designs for his emerg­ing Day For Night label. “I knew I had to do my own designs. There was sim­ply no way I was going to trust any­one else to design the pack­ag­ing for music I was ulti­mately respon­si­ble for, and had slaved so hard to pro­duce. I knew – from the moment I’d fig­ured out what it was about truly great graphic design that I was so pas­sion­ate about – that I had to rise to this new chal­lenge, and learn the skills nec­es­sary to pro­duce my own visu­als. They were, after all, and in my own mind, mar­ried to the music.”

By this time, Day For Night was already set for its first six releases, (Day 001through Day 006) – but as yet, had no album art or visual iden­tity. The first attempts to focus in a sin­gle direc­tion were chaotic – and thus began a pas­sion­ate phase of inves­ti­ga­tion and research into the his­tory of graphic design, and rel­e­vance for the aspir­ing young art direc­tor, who­had not attended art school, and lacked a proper design edu­ca­tion. A process which went on for the next seven years, dur­ing which Eric had to align with a rel­e­vant method­ol­ogy for rep­re­sent­ing visual ideas as album cover artin the dig­i­tal age.

Although CD cov­ers man­aged to pre­serve the square for­mat of vinyl records, he still claims often to be put off by some design for­mats found in many artist’s CDs – the eco-friendly Digi­Pak® foldover design (was it merely a state­ment of dis­pos­abil­ity?) or just plain awk­ward (jewel case fold-outs that sequen­tially unfolded pan­els, attempt­ing to reveal infor­ma­tion in ways con­trary to the mes­sage of the music).

Eric con­tin­ues: “Album design had come to feel empty. If you really want to ques­tion the mean­ing – such as, ‘What am I meant to read into this, and in what order?’ then the pop CD pack­ag­ing I saw around me was still attempt­ing to guide read­ing in a lin­ear man­ner, that did not relate to the non-linearity of the music. Ulti­mately, the elec­tron­ica I was cre­at­ing was a state­ment away from the more tra­di­tional “nar­ra­tive” stance enforced by the pre­vi­ous school of design think­ing, where elab­o­rate, and often expen­sive design con­ceits – many of which were a bit too self-important – seemed almost as vac­u­ous as dinosaur rock.

Ulti­mately, I’m a record-sleeve junkie. I grew up with sleeves and album art of the 70s and 80s, and slowly learned that, in the hands of capa­ble designer, the bet­ter the art, the more mem­o­rable the album. There’s actu­ally a great cor­re­la­tion I’ve found between the intu­ition I use when I browse music in shops, and the graphic tastes of the design­ers who do sleeves for the artists I like. For the art direc­tor or designer, great album design means that you should really tap into the minds of the kinds of fans who would buy such a record. There’s really an awful lot more to talk about there.”

Salvador Dalek

Key­words: Left­field / Instru­men­tal / Remix / Avant-rock / Multimedia

Sal­vador Dalek was born June 2001 as the col­lab­o­ra­tive project iden­tity of mul­ti­me­dia musician/artist/designers Eric Scott and Pete Moraites, after meet­ing at a work­shop with Tomato based in New York City. They have cho­sen this recording/remixing moniker as a chan­nel for new cre­ative and pro­fes­sional activities.

Not to be con­fused with Salvador’s wiser, older sib­ling, Julie Android, Dalek oper­ates in a def­i­n­i­tion­less, sam­pladelic universe.

The first Sal­vador Dalek pub­lic event – was a per­for­mance LIVE JAM (Lis­ten) in Venice, CA dur­ing the Pete Moraites DVD launch party in May 2006. The full event set list can be viewed here.

The lat­est was less than one month ago, at The Room in Santa Mon­ica, CA where Eric Scott reg­u­larly DJ’s trip-hop, down­tempo and sur­re­al­is­ti­cally slurry beats on Thurs­day nights, as one of the guest DJs in a reg­u­lar part of the Trip­notic Lounge series. Come by, buy a drink, relax and hear him spin – and def­i­nitely remem­ber to stop by say hi!

2011_0825 : Luc Ferrari – (Hommage à) “Hörspiel / Chronopolis DUB” by Eric Scott / Day For Night

Luc Ferrari "HORSPIEL" Chronopolis Dub (Remix by Eric Scott)

Eric Scott Day For Night Luc Ferrari Remix on SoundCloud.com Luc Fer­rari – (Hom­mage à) “Hör­spiel / Chro­nop­o­lis DUB” by Eric Scott / Day For Night by Day­ForNight

The set­ting of this work takes the lis­tener, over sev­en­teen min­utes, along a jour­ney – from the fac­tory (the birth­place) to the stage (youth – through the­atre, spec­ta­cle and illu­sion) via the coun­try­side (peace, retire­ment) and con­clud­ing in a sanc­tu­ary. This HORSPIEL indi­rectly ref­er­ences the human con­di­tion, from birth to death. …HORSPIEL is a trib­ute as well to the late com­poser Luc Fer­rari, who passed away in 2005 and who is greatly missed by all those who knew and loved his work.

A guide to the orig­i­nal Luc Fer­rari sounds used in the piece are avail­able from this link:

Extract From Composer’s Notes by Eric Scott

…Fer­rari intro­duces his Tau­tolo­gie; whereby a machinist’s saw sig­nals a Cae­sarean birth as the “Usine” groove smashes in, punc­tu­ated by sharp attacks and pul­sa­tions, and pre­sag­ing the Shake­spearean (Strat­ford) mon­tage of vio­lent bat­tle, with sword hits and exclam­a­tory grunts. Le petit train (Strauss) then takes us out… and into an atmos­pheric seg­ment, lead­ing us to an adap­ta­tion of an orig­i­nal Sal­vador Dalek work – “Doop” – remixed from the orig­i­nal replac­ing all orig­i­nal per­cus­sion with record­ings of Luc’s… The pea­cock screech, intended to rep­re­sent the dan­ger ele­ment in the work…

…The ambi­ent tex­tures from Chro­nop­o­lis : Sons Ten­dus Élec­tron­iques form­ing a pul­sat­ing audio bed beneath this piece which inte­grates break­beats and fret­less bass. Near­ing the fourteen-minute mark, more of those damned pea­cocks, and the bells of St. Antoine bid their farewell to us as our train leads us away once again, reveal­ing the organ sounds from Chopin : Ambiance Église Orgue et Marteau… and carry us away again through time …And we are left with the image of reced­ing sound of foot­steps in the monastery…

2011_0621 : Eric Scott. “The Drowning Fish.” Day 033. cd / download

Eric Scott Day For Night Day 033 on SoundCloud.com Eric Scott “The Drown­ing Fish” Day 033. by Day­ForNight

The Drown­ing Fish” (Day 033) is a col­lec­tion of contemplative-yet-upbeat pieces for elec­tric gui­tar, with a shift of empha­sis upon arrange­ments that “could be repro­ducible live”…This is not to sug­gest that Eric Scott has any per­for­mance dates planned for the near future; the composer/producer prefers the stu­dio envi­ron­ment above all else.

I really do love to play live. But there’s a wiser instinct that reminds me that I just need to keep away from activ­i­ties that have that labo­ri­ous feel­ing, espe­cially repet­i­tive scheud­ules of any sort. From day to day, my atten­tion is con­stantly mov­ing, I’m rest­less and so I rein­vent music every day. I’m just not into the side of things that requires that performer’s dis­ci­pline. In many ways, it’s at the heart of why I do so many of the activ­i­ties I pur­sue today.”

John Foxx & The Maths’ “Shat­ter­proof” gets a “Bro­ken” treat­ment here from Sal­vador Dalek’s Eric Scott – with a ghostly hint of Cabaret Voltaire, Pig Bag and Meat Beat Man­i­festo sprin­kled into the post-industrial soup… Big­ger beats and an aggres­sive bassline rem­i­nis­cent of 80s Trevor Horn pro­duc­tion… Not for the nos­tal­go­pho­bic, to say the least!

About Day For Night : Music

Eric Scott is a composer/producer, artist, writer, DJ and sound designer, as well as the artis­tic and musi­cal direc­tor of Day For Night, the bou­tique music label he founded in 1991.

Com­ing from a back­ground in the adver­tis­ing pro­duc­tion indus­try where he estab­lished him­self as a record­ing engi­neer and sound designer, Eric cre­ated Day For Night in 1991 as a bou­tique inde­pen­dent music label with an orig­i­nal cat­a­logue of elec­tronic, abstract, pop and avant-garde-jazz-classical music releases of his own. Solo record­ings (under an absur­dis­tly lengthy vari­ety of pseu­do­nyms, based more upon genre than per­son­nel) include 3 Mains (1991), The Per­form­ing Man (1993), Paris – A Musi­cal Over­pass (1995), Found1 — A Stone (2006), The Inner Cin­ema (2007) and Junc­tion – Another Train Leav­ing (2007).

Eric has also worked under the names Rhythm Fac­tory, Blue­bot­tles, Found, Mr. No-Logo, Kün­st­fab­riken, King FM and as one half of the duo Sal­vador Dalek (with col­lab­o­ra­tor Peter Moraites), all released on auteur label Day For Night. In 2011 alone, Eric has remixed a broad vari­ety of artists in diverse styles, from Euro-Israeli pop chanteuse Keren Ann, John Foxx, David Lynch, Mar­tin Solveig and musique con­crète com­poser Luc Ferrari.

Inter­nally, we have derived three gen­eral clas­si­fi­ca­tions of the orig­i­nal works we release on a cura­to­r­ial basis, and in the elec­tron­ica genre:

1) Elec­tron­ica / Avant-Rock
Instru­men­tal, exper­i­men­tal, left­field and ambi­ent work.

2) New Music / Mod­ern Com­po­si­tion
Avant-garde, jazz-classical and mod­ern com­po­si­tion for key­boards and/or ensem­ble players.

3) Songs and archival works
Indie pop and post-80s

Unfor­tu­nately we can­not accept unso­licited mate­r­ial from third par­ties. Please don’t send us any demos or sim­i­lar offer­ings, thanks.

Bluebottles

Bluebottles - aka Eric Scott of Day For Night

Key­words: Acid-Breakfast-jazz / Dance-Band / Comedy-Big Band

Blue­bot­tles merge faux-jazz nos­tal­gia and com­edy to cre­ate a par­ody of a much-maligned genre.

Artis­tic direc­tor Eric Scott pro­claims, “Jazz is part of every­thing that is Day For Night, but that’s a rel­a­tive state­ment. Impro­vi­sa­tion is at the root of almost all of my own com­po­si­tion. I’m by no means a for­mal­ist. There are moments when I put on some­one else’s def­i­n­i­tion of jazz, and frankly, that can be absolute mur­der to sit through…That’s what Blue­bot­tles is about; get­ting out a minia­ture Union Jack, putting on a car­na­tion, doing that WW1-period cross­word and spread­ing your legs to some light buf­foon­ery over your eggs bene­dict and clot­ted cream. You won’t be disappointed.”

THE DAY FOR NIGHT CATALOGUE
All tracks released within the Day For Night cat­a­logue are also avail­able for unique licens­ing pur­poses. Browse the Cat­a­logue by release, or by Artist, then use this form to request infor­ma­tion on a par­tic­u­lar track.

DAY FOR NIGHT NETRADIO
Now live, this is an excel­lent and diverse source of licens­ing inspi­ra­tion, and only requires RealOne Player (free) before pro­ceed­ing. Lis­ten in now! »

WHEN DO I NEED A LICENSE?
You need a license if you are plan­ning on using an orig­i­nal piece of music from our cat­a­logue, as back­ground for a sec­ondary medium, such as film,tele­vi­sioninternet/podcastinggam­ing, or other for­mat of mar­ket­ing or adver­tis­ing, cor­po­rate or otherwise.

Oth­er­wise, no license is needed, if you only plan to down­load and enjoy the music as the listener/end-user.

IS THIS ROYALTY-FREE MUSIC?
No, the music found at Day For Night is not royalty-free. It is bespoke music and orig­i­nal com­po­si­tion made by musi­cal fine artists whose means of sup­port and com­pen­sa­tion is pro­vided through roy­al­ties and fees from licensing.
WHAT KIND OF MEDIA DISTRIBUTION REQUIRES A MUSIC LICENSE?
This license involves recorded music used to accom­pany any form of broad­cast or dis­tri­b­u­tion that is intended for other users; ie, any­thing other than for per­sonal use.

This includes, but is not lim­ited to the fol­low­ing: adver­tis­ing music (also known as com­mer­cial jin­gles), cin­ema (the­atre) music, pro­duc­tion music for cor­po­rate pre­sen­ta­tion and cor­po­rate videos, back­ground music for radio spots, shows and announce­ments, fea­ture film music used either inci­den­tally, or as part of the sound­track, music fea­tured in the open­ing or clos­ing title sequence of a film; music used in adver­tise­ment for film as part of a the­atri­cal or online trailer; music used as part of a com­mer­cial or cor­po­rate DVD pro­duc­tion; music for tele­vi­sion, used in smart tags and tar­geted tele­vi­sion adver­tis­ing, music for games, internet-based back­ground music for web­sites, and others.

DO PODCASTS REQUIRE A MUSIC LICENSE? ARE THESE TREATED THE SAME AS MP3 DOWNLOADS? Licens­ing of music for Pod­casts are treated as though part-download (due to the MP3 for­mat used) and part-broadcast (due to the syn­di­cated RSS pub­li­ca­tion feed which syn­di­cates via pod­catch­ing appli­ca­tions like iTunes).

Day For Night makes spe­cialty licens­ing rates avail­able, which are advan­ta­geous to the indi­vid­ual pod­caster, and which are nom­i­nally only a lit­tle more than the price of a per­sonal MP3 down­load, but cost less than radio dis­tri­b­u­tion. The pod­cast license is both a legally-binding bridge between the con­tent cre­ator and the pod­cast pro­ducer. Dis­trib­ut­ing 3rd-party dig­i­tal down­loads of any copyright-controlled music, where the copy­right holder is not the self, is oth­er­wise illegal. DO I ALWAYS NEED TO CONTACT A MUSIC SUPERVISOR BEFORE OBTAINING A LICENSE? Not nec­es­sar­ily; how­ever, a pair of syn­chro­niza­tion doc­u­ments will need to be pro­duced upon request before man­u­fac­tur­ing and dis­trib­ut­ing any music licensed from us. You will more than likely require a Master-Use con­fir­ma­tion and/or a Synchronization/Theatrical Per­for­mance Use Con­fir­ma­tion form, if the licensed music is for dis­tri­b­u­tion (such as on DVD).

Please con­tact Day For Night directly with any such requests at this link, and we will be very happy to help you get started!

The Von Trapps

Key­words: Indie / Techno / Vocal / Melancholy

Presently hiber­nat­ing, the Von Trapps is a one-off project cre­ated by producer/arranger/keyboardist Eric Scott with singer/lyricist Doug Green. Spo­radic record­ings made in the early 1990s fore­shad­owed ample break­beat loops, and for­sook elec­tronic drum sounds for another ten years.

Rhythm Factory

Key­words: Elec­tron­ica / Instru­men­tal / Pro­gres­sive House / Acid House / Pro­gres­sive Ambient

Jupiter, Pete and Gez (they avoid using their sur­names pub­licly) have a claim to fame in the devel­op­ment of obscure and unusual tech­nolo­gies, build­ing equip­ment by hand that merges crude with state of the art and in sound research. Orig­i­nally call­ing them­selves Rhythm Defend­ers, this audio hob­by­ist trio main­tain free-agent career sta­tus, which often finds them called in to solve audio-related mys­ter­ies in their spare time.

Some of their designs include the fol­low­ing:
1. A web-based sound can­non capa­ble of emit­ting infra­sound.
2. Ane­choic “cones” of silence
3. Audio-reactive cham­bers fit­ted spe­cially for the mon­i­tor­ing and record­ing of sub­ject behav­ior, test­ing sound emis­sions (arti­facts)
4. Hand-held acces­sories to facil­i­tate record­ing, and that can be worn on the head or on the per­son of the recordist: “com­pact and light­weight.”
5. Reverb tanks and cham­bers.
6. Pre­pared pianos and other “mod­i­fied” dig­i­tal instru­ments.
7. Multi-platform / dis­trib­uted “end­less” loops and delay devices.
8. PDA-format Sonar

Remark­ably, they look like broth­ers, but are unre­lated, and are almost never seen in full head­shot in pub­lic­ity pho­tos. They have since insisted upon retain­ing some ele­ment of anonymity.

Jupiter, or Jupe to his friends, stud­ied con­tem­po­rary com­po­si­tion at uni­ver­sity in South­ern Cal­i­for­nia. Dis­en­chanted in the 80s by the prospect of teach­ing a film-school dri­ven stu­dent base, moti­vated purely by a need to con­form to Hol­ly­wood inter­ests, he left behind the prospects of becom­ing a full-time edu­ca­tor, and now moon-lights in a record store spe­cial­iz­ing in hard-to-find and archival record­ings. Simul­ta­ne­ously respon­si­ble for cat­a­logu­ing music and sound into the uni­ver­sity radio sta­tion data­base, he has con­tributed heav­ily to the preser­va­tion of a musi­cal her­itage, by shar­ing an appre­ci­a­tion for his­tory, above and beyond that of peers. He is well-versed in the recorded his­tory of elec­tronic musique-concrete from the west­ern world, and presently telecom­mutes from Paris via a G4 tita­nium laptop.

Pete is a theme / jin­gle com­poser, with a tech­ni­cal back­ground in record engi­neer­ing and elec­tronic com­po­si­tion; pur­suits include a suc­cess­ful ring­tone e-commerce site. Also a MIDI enthu­si­ast and hob­by­ist, he has one of the largest pri­vate key­board muse­ums in the world, col­lect­ing and refur­bish­ing archaic ana­log equip­ment, and main­tain­ing a stan­dard of usabil­ity for all sounds, “new and old.” He is recently mar­ried, with an infant daughter.

Gez works for French exper­i­men­tal sound lab, Dyslexip-Coflexip, pio­neer­ing infra­sound and the research of its effects upon human and ani­mal life. A fol­lower of Vladimir Gavreau, he has pur­sued a sec­ondary back­ground in envi­ron­men­tal field record­ing, amass­ing an impres­sive library of over 3500 DAT tapes, recorded first-hand dur­ing his global travel activ­i­ties. “I just pack it all in a sack and just go places. I crawl under things, I wait, hit record… I close-miked a leop­ard in Peru who nearly killed me as I was try­ing to record the sound of her cub nursing…madness!”

Gez, a.k.a. “Beardy,” spent exper­i­men­tal years mix­ing LSD and infra­sound, occa­sion­ally wak­ing him­self up to an 11 Hz tone in the morn­ing, emit­ted by speaker cones under his mat­tress. “I’m slowly work­ing my way down to 7 Hz,” he boasts, “I’m becom­ing imper­vi­ous to the effects of sonic ter­ror­ism, one day at a time… Plus it keeps me regular.”

Rhythm Fac­tory are cur­rently work­ing and telecom­mut­ing from a self-built stu­dio loft and green­house in Paris, over­look­ing the Seine, near the Boule­vard Des Grands Augustins.

Allegedly a pseu­do­nym for com­poser / pro­ducer Eric Scott, a wholly dubi­ous biog­ra­phy also emerged for Rhythm Fac­tory in 1995, pre­sent­ing claim to the name by a trio of audio sub­ver­sives named Gez, Pete and Jupe, who solve audio-based mysteries.
