A great report about Novation company, from the beginning to the most recent “innovations”…
Novation co-founder Ian Jannoway, legendary synth designer Chris Huggett, Gus Unger-Hamilton of Alt-J, Sneaker Pimps and Lana Del Ray producer Liam Howe, and Head of Product & Marketing Matt Derbyshire all feature in this very special short film that charts the rise of Novation from humble beginnings to a company whose musical innovations support a user base that includes – amongst many others – Orbital, M4SONIC, Rudimental, T.E.E.D, Lunice, Alt-J, Teddy Riley, and Jimmy Mac – keyboardist for international sensation Lorde.
Chris Huggett
Most people know him as the genius behind Wasp and OSCar, the legendary monosynth from Ultravox’s Love’s Great Adventure, Stevie Wonder’s Skeletons, and Jean-Michel Jarre’s Revolutions Overture.
Chris’ synths have been used by everybody: Orbital, Ultravox, Tom Yorke, Trent Reznor, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Stevie Wonder, Jean Michel Jarre, Keith Emerson, the list is endless. His heritage synths are sought across the world, and sell for upwards of £5000.
He is a true synth legend. He is also our synth designer. Every Novation synth has been conceived, shaped and refined by his passion and expertise, which spans five decades.
