LOCKDOWN GOT YOU DOWN AND LONGING FOR SIMPLER TIMES? DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO GO BACK AND ENJOY EVERYTHING THAT WAS GREAT ABOUT THE 80S AND CELEBRATE THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SYNTHWAVE.
Narrated by iconic director John Carpenter, The Rise Of The Synths travelled to 9 countries to interview the scene’s biggest stars and original trailblazers. The film explores the roots of the now breakout Synthwave scene, charting its humble online and underground beginnings to itsimpact on today’s pop culture.
So what is Synthwave? An irresistible blend of nostalgia and music; of creative processes and cultural references; of reappropriation and legitimate creation. More than a random revival, Synthwave has become a celebration of shared memories, with an ever-evolving sound now emerging as a chart topping worldwide retro cultural phenomenon.
