Some new tunes for 2012
Well happy new year already. Here’s a piece I started in 2011 but due to the exigencies of one thing and another could hardly get time to work on (player embedded from soundcloud.com):
Some new tunes for 2011
“Kronecker’s Epsilon”
(Math nerd alert…Since I can’t call it “Kronecker’s Delta”.) This is a track mainly based on a bunch of guitar playing and very little synth stuff.
Well this was embarassing. Soundcloud must occasionally tinker with their various moving parts and this link stopped working so try this player:
“Dyspareunia”
(Dictionary nerd alert…this is just a word I pulled out of my … memory … that has nothing to do with the track. It’s only about 1:40 anyway so the title is just there so I can call it something.)
More experiments with getting a good guitar sound recorded without microphones…in this case using a PodXT.
“A serious thing”
It’s not that the tracks are getting better, but they sure are getting longer to get out. This one started back in August of 2010 and was finished in March 2011. Other things are going on at the same time but this is more or less ready to listen to. Enjoy!
Some new tunes for 2010
“Haborthelem”
No, I don’t have any idea what that word means, or even if I’ve spelled it right.
The “haborthelem” (?) samples and the “party” background both come from the OLPC free sound set (more information here). The “party” is a field recording of a Kavadi festival in Montreal; and the “haborthelem” is from a group of samples showing the different kind of digital signal processing that cam be applied to an audio file. The rest of the samples are from all over the place. Soft synths used were Zebra2, Dimension Pro and Crystal 2.4.8 (for a great koto patch). Everything was assembled in Ableton Live as usual (version 8 this time.)
I get a big kick out of listening to this, I think it conveys the party atmosphere it’s supposed to:
“Magnapure”

This is just a working title, not being able to think of anything better at the moment; mainly because it uses a lot of loops from Puremagnetik soundware developers. The player to the right has a first cut at an arrangment.
Next up are a couple tracks from around Feb 2010: “Whispers of Doom” and “Robot Monster 3″ (hosted at Soundcloud as you can probably tell.)
Whispers of Doom
Robot Monster 3
These can also be accessed directly from the tim p scott soundcloud area although you might need to be a member or sign up to get there. (The URL is http://soundcloud.com/rasputin) If you’re interested in downloading them, please note that they were uploaded in OGG Vorbis format).

Blorfing thru space
Also being offered on this page is a hoary relic from the Tim P Scott Archives. “Blorfing thru space” was one of the very first things the nascent composer wrote using his trusty little SC-55. It hasn’t made its way onto any of the “official” releases, but only existed in audio on a CD of archives from about 1996. But the dub on that disk had distortion problems due to improper gain staging.
So we managed to locate and unearth the original data files that created it (in the “Metro” sequencer format) and re-recorded it from a Roland SC-880. Then Scott took the audio files and did a tweak and remix in Ableton Live. Here are the original and remixed versions; enjoy:
