Luke Howard

Seen in this article, used extensively for echo effects in his discography.

Used as an outboard reverb throughout his discography.

'Well, aside from my piano, it would probably be the Bricasti M7. My youthful ECM obsession has manifested itself in reverb lust (surely there is a compound German word for that). I’ve been fortunate to work with Jan Erik Kongshaug a few times and I’m always trying to steal his reverb settings! Anyway, the Bricasti is the reverb that doesn’t sound like reverb, it just sounds like a room. Ironically it is sometimes too transparent. It is a magical bit of hardware. I’m also very fond of the old Digidesign ProControl, it feels so much better built than the stuff Avid make now, and they’re quite cheap on the second hand market. Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) it is no longer supported by Pro Tools.'

"It’s gone through a few iterations, but pretty much it has always been based around a Mac running Pro Tools. Pro Tools is not the most intuitive or creative environment but it’s the one I’m most familiar with. If I was starting now I guess I would just use Ableton or maybe Logic because they probably make more sense for composition. Pro Tools’ ubiquity is useful, though, as the last records have been made in several different studios, and session portability saves a bit of time."

Seen used as a stereo pair for an upright Yamaha piano.
