Brood and the HFT modular

via John Hughes of BROOD

"We're building a site for HFT right now and I'll be able to send you some nice pictures once we get that together. Here's a few shots from an interview with my friend and designer, Jonas Banker, who designed custom panels to bridge the different format modules together (and allow for shorter patching).... The HFT modular synth is the modular synth at the studio, HFT."


"Brood is the collaborative project of Chicago's John Hughes and Pompeii's Lino Monaco and Nicola Buono (both of Retina.IT). The single was recorded in the late summer of 2007 at Hughes' HFT Studio while cicadas screamed from the trees across the street. The cicada's mass hatching coincided with the birth of this new project and inspired the single track, Brood XIII. The material for this and the upcoming full-length was recorded almost entirely using the HFT analog modular synth."

"Working out some songs for a micronaut live PA. This is SRR!, a new track I'm just ironing out the bugs on. The end result almost certainly won't be seven minutes long. And it won't have my elbow blocking the lense for half of it either."

Mondo Modular Episode 3

"Yet another attempt to deliver the most amazing electronic sounds possible with my meager talents holding on tight to the controls of a spectacular modular sound generating system.

Give this one two or three minutes to warm up; I promise the second half delivers stuff that sounds like Robby the Robot barfing Anne Francis a star-sapphire encrusted dress.

(Also want to note that the end of this episode actually happened the way you hear it -- I did not overdub any sound effect and it really did happen as it appears on-camera)

As always, thanks for watching."

"Here's a snippet of the new Moog Voyager Old School. We love the sound of this board. There are some cool new modulation options like LFO rate as a destination and filter envelope as a modulation source at the turn of a switch. Cool. Old School!"
