Bastard Science EP is a modular synthesizer-based work by Richard Scott, who is also known as a member of the band Twinkle³ and teaches at the Catalyst Institute, a creative arts and technology school in Berlin.
Richard began his musical journey in the early 1980s and released his first modular synthesizer piece in 1992. Since then, he has continued to release works both as a solo artist and in collaborative projects, while also contributing to the design and development of modular systems.
His work spans not only solo electronic projects but also improvisational sessions with acoustic instruments. He regularly performs concerts across Europe. In this EP, Richard explores new rhythmic possibilities, reflecting his belief that “Although music has expanded enormously over the past hundred years in terms of timbre, melody, and harmony—through contemporary music, jazz, and experimental electronic music—I feel rhythm is still relatively underdeveloped.”

<『Bastard Science EP は、バンドTwinkle³のメンバーとしても知られ、Berlin のクリエイティブアートとテクノロジーの教育機関Catalyst Institute で教壇に立つRichard Scott が、モジュラーシンセサイザーを使って作曲した作品です。80 年代前半に音楽活動を開始し、92 年にモジュラーシンセを使用した初の作品を発表。それ以来ソロ、またはグループで作品を発表し続け、モジュラーシンセの設計・開発にも携わっています。また、電子音楽に限らず生楽器との即興セッションや、ソロでのコンサートをヨーロッパを中心に行っています。「過去100年で音楽における音色は大きく進化したが、リズムに関しては相対的に発展の余地が大いに残っている」と語る彼が、新しいリズムの可能性を提示した作品となっています。付録のインサートには、彼へのインタビューを掲載し、実験的領域の音楽と向き合うことや、モジュラーというインターフェイスを介して音を出すことへの考えを語ってくれています。』
