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.

The 33 zones in this patch bank were created on Peak and feature the use of Mod Wheel and Aftertouch, as well as the Animate buttons for deeper expressive control. 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.
