Since its birth in 1991, Day For Night has evolved from original creative content development and boutique label for Eric Scott’s musical and interactive projects, with a catalogue of indie, classical, post-rock and electronica releases.
Book (Words: Eric Scott) + CD In Day 030 “Addictions” first two volumes, “Simple words,” “Hazy memories,” Eric Scott joins verse and graphic images. Printed in 4.75″ square format, this very-limited release is housed in a double-cd jewel case, accompanied by a hand-picked selection of finished songs and recordings, most of which were the by-product of these […]
CD | Download The brooding “Waterfalls” (Day 016) is an odd diversion from a mostly instrumental legacy, but Eric Scott puts the record straight: “I’ve always been attracted to dark songs. I wrote this one to be slow, evem though I’m truly not into ballads. After having played all the instruments, sang all of the parts, […]

CD | Download The Von Trapps was a one-off project created by singer / lyricist Doug Green and instrumentalist / producer Eric Scott. Sporadic recordings made in the early 1990s culminated with “Sculptured” (Day 015) – foreshadowing ample breakbeat loops, and foresaken electronic drum sounds, disappearing for another ten years or so.
CD | Download The archival release “Ghosts & Masks” (Day 013), collects some of the best – and earliest – instrumental demos and experiments recorded solo by Eric Scott, during the period between 1984-1990. Precipitated by a continual demand and search for new film-score ideas, much of Ghosts & Masks was recorded while Eric completed an […]
CD | Download Eric Scott “Tunes & Mythologies” (Day 005) is a collection of 100 keyboard miniatures improvised from a set of (previously unlistened-to) patch tones. “Over the course of two days, I created this odd little collection of pieces, each theme originally performed improvisationally as a reaction to hearing three notes and through a […]

CD | Download Rhythm Factory’s 1991 “In The Acid” (Day 004) brings Middle-Eastern modalities into a meeting with abrasive samples and stabs, to create two pieces of a cinematic, albeit coarser, exotic flavor. Eric Scott: “These formed at a time when my interest in Belgian New Beat and Hardfloor aligned with release of the first […]
CD | Download The sixth release “14 Friends” (Day 006), released solo by Eric Scott in 1991 represents some of the sharpest of his early song output aimed at college radio. Recordings from these germinal new wave years 1985-1988, feature Eric on vocals (today this would be a rarity), guitars, bass, percussion and keyboards. “14 Friends” […]
CD | Download Inspired by mythical performance art ensemble The Theatre Of Panic, “The Performing Man” (Day 003) was conceived by Eric Scott as the experimental ambient, world-indie, synth-pop-influenced soundtrack for a “fictitious live spectacle,” in which all stage performers were meant to follow a set of open-ended instructions to accompany each piece. To contradict the […]
CD | Download Rhythm Factory’s “Technopolitan” (Day 002) was realized in 1991 as a solo remix endeavor for producer/composer Eric Scott, in which he recontextualises 15 of his favorite self-penned indie pop tracks. Fueled in equal parts by obsessions with Belgian New Beat, Electronic Body Music and Acid House, the mix becomes a single work of […]
CD | Download 1991 saw release of the first disc in the Day For Night imprint, introducing composer Eric Scott to new music circles with “3 Mains” (Day 001). A collection of fifteen suites and miniatures arranged for piano and ensemble, these recordings are constructed and emulated via lo-fi synthetics and samples in lieu of a proper […]
