Hinako has most recently been touring and playing synths with James Bay, Kate Tempest, KT Tunstall, Georgia and Fionn Regan across Europe and the US, with festivals including Glastonbury, Primavera, Festival No.6 and support tours with The Flaming Lips, The Kills and Hot Chip. She went on to study the Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) course at the University of Surrey, where she met some of her closest friends and collaborators who she has been very fortunate to work with over the years in various studio and live projects. Hinako initially learnt classical piano from the age of 5, but her fascination soon turned to analogue synthesisers after meeting her college Music Technology teacher who became a mentor. Hinako Omori is a musician and programmer based in London via Japan, with a love for synthesizers and anything that makes interesting sounds.

This pack contains 26 presets crafted by Finlay for Peak and Summit. They’ve recently collaborared with Throbbing Gristle member Chris Carter, electronics wizard Roy Gwinn for the Gristleizer series of modules and Daniel Miller/Mute Records for the Makrow module. FSS pursue unusual methods of sound processing and production via analogue means, typically in Eurorack modular form. Technologically, his experiments culminated in the birth of Future Sound Systems, which today is his full-time effort alongside partner Jamie Neale. During his teenage years, he began building his own noise boxes, selling circuit-bent instruments and eventually expanding into the world of Eurorack synthesizer modules, all whilst recording experimental, rhythmically driven electronic music.

His interest in synthesisers was born listening to his parents' record collection whilst growing up and, whilst learning how to use these machines, he started to explore the insides of the equipment too. In both areas of his work, he strives for surprising and unique sonic directions. Matt has created 26 presets for Peak and Summit.įinlay Shakespeare is the co-director of the modular synth firm Future Sound Systems, and a recording artist for Editions Mego.

In recent years he helped to develop and run “The Jumblies Project”, an inclusive interactive arts and education project in collaboration with a local SEN college, including developing an interactive audio system which enabled learners to use microphones, interactive lights and inclusive midi devices to control music, foley and spoken word content that the learner’s created. With a sonic palette that ranges from intimate emotive lo-fi textures to slick, detailed and dramatic modern timbres, his preset and sound design work often features sounds on a spectrum between those two poles, while always carrying an inherent musicality at its core. With a background in writing, producing, engineering and performing various forms of music, he now focuses on sample pack production (Loopmasters, Blocs Wave, Launchpad), music composition (BMG Production Music, Beds & Beats & Score Music Publishing), preset design (Novation Peak, Arturia DX7V, CMI V, Pigments) and wavetable design (Novation Peak, Arturia Pigments). Matt Pike is a sound designer and music producer based in Brighton, UK.

Lightbath has releases on RVNG Intl and Seil Records as well as the self-released ‘ Selected Public Works’ series which features remastered versions of the pieces on his YouTube channel. The artfully unpretentious demonstrations… occupy a strange, sui-generis niche: Featuring balmy sounds, blinking LEDs, and low-key set-dressing, they are part performance, part tech tutorial, and part audio-visual wallpaper.” As Pitchfork puts it: “Once you have submitted to these videos, it can be hard to pull yourself away. Noll developed his sound and process as Lightbath by making YouTube videos showing the physical act of coaxing music out of modular synthesizers. Taking inspiration from Brian Eno's view of composers as gardeners, Noll plants musical seeds with his synthesizers and, through improvisation, guides their development and growth into pieces that unfold in the present moment. Composer, improviser, and educator Bryan Noll explores time and space with his musical project, Lightbath.
