About the Authors

Howard Scarr: Howard has been tweaking synthesizers ever since 1973 when he co-founded the UK's first all-synthesizer band Zorch. Four decades later, now a u-he employee, Howard's obsession with synthesizers is unbroken. You can hear his Zebra2 creations in several blockbuster movies, including The Dark Knight, Angels & Demons, Inception and Dunkirk.

Kevin Schroeder: Kevin cut his sound-design teeth on the Commodore 64 back in the 1990s. Now a well established freelancer (Access Virus, Roland Aira / JDXA) and demo track composer, Kevin augments his mastery of "digital edge" with affectionate nods to analogue synth history. You can hear some of Kevin's creations in the soundtrack to Men in Black 3.
