about

Nicolas Peck is an American composer, keyboardist, sound designer, and audio director.

He has been continuously active since the early 1980’s, and has made a living as a sound designer/composer since the late 1990’s. Many will know of his "Under the Big Tree" YouTube channel dealing with electronic music (mostly) but may also have heard his music without paying attention since his commercial career has been primarily in video games and interactive media, including stints at Lucasarts Entertainment (sound supervisor), Skywalker Sound, (game sound supervisor), Activision Games (audio director), and as a freelance sound designer/composer under the name Perceptive Sound Design. Notable games include Grim Fandango, Star Wars Battlefront, LEGO Star Wars, Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb, and Guitar Hero Van Halen. Notable films include Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.
He has been audio director of Disney Publishing Worldwide since 2012, where he has done hundreds of projects for iOS/Android, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and many Disney partners around the globe. He is currently focused on creating audiobooks and linear audio stories across the many franchises of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Twentieth Century, National Geographic, and Lucasfilm.

Peck holds a BA in Psychology from UC Berkeley (1987), a BA in Electronic Music from San Francisco State University (1993), and an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College (1998). Primary music teachers included Pauline Oliveros, Maggi Payne, Chris Brown, Alvin Curran, and Herbert Bielawa.
His principle areas of study were experimental electronic music/musique concrete, modular analog synthesizers, analog hardware design, and computer music. He plays guitar, electric bass, Hammond organ, Fender Rhodes, and other electromechanical keyboard instruments + the Buchla Easel, the Kyma sound design system, and Serge and Eurorack modular synthesizers.

modulisme.info/session/85/

« I have been playing a number of different instruments/systems for different parts of the piece.
Some of the material was performed live in front of an audience, with additional materials overdubbed back in the studio. Other parts were sections of explorations that I recorded while performing in the studio.
There were musique concrete elements that included processed cello, drum kit, piano, and sax, field recorded elements, such as throwing a heavy box across the room, and some sounds that were created by my Kyma system. But the majority was various parts of my modular system.
The first section was my Music Easel and some Eurorack oscillators being processed through the 4MS Dual Looping Delay and Clouds, as mentioned above. The Buchla Skylab was used here and there, but nowhere near as much as the Music Easel and the Serge. There was a lot of Paperface Serge circuits, from Prism Circuits and 73-75 panels I built myself. »

Each of these tracks are skeleton keys that open a portal into another dimension. As such, they are all wonderful in their own right. This release reaches back in time to an age of analog semi-generative ambient exploration. Very much worth a listen. 69dragynz
