Synthwave in a Synopsis! Every week, I talk about something related to synthwave. New releases, genres, artist critiques, interviews, or my take on reoccurring trends within synthwave are all fair game. This is also a LIVE PODCAST (yes, you read that correctly): tune in to nightride.fm every Sunday…
You know the face and hand motions Italian chefs make when they eat good pasta or lasagna? I do that when I listen to this song.
1. Overcome mental barriers, 2. Learn, 3. Be consistent. EZ
Pull up your favorite chair, get a beverage of your choice, and get cozy cause we bout to have a lil chit chat.
ACY is an amazing dude that makes amazing music, that's all you need to know.
I really can't summarize this interview for you. You just have to listen to it.
Don't even listen to this episode, just toss it in the shredder and wave goodbye.
I wanted to take a step back and do a recap of what I've learned and experienced since starting the podcast. Thank YOU for taking the time for listening to the podcast and allowing me to have this much fun with it. It really does mean a lot to me.
A collection of a few small ideas that I had that couldn't be their own episodes; starting songs with a BANG; Level Ups; and song length.
The golden rule: the more you put in, the more you get out! It's true bro
Elay Arson's latest album Dusk Incarnate is more diverse than a liberal arts college campus during Prospective Student Week. That stuff matters a lot and makes this album freakin amazing, alongside other great things.
Please stop feeling like your intros need to be slow and atmospheric. Sponsored by THE INTERNET!!
DARKWAVE =/= DARKSYNTH!! And the origin story of Darkwave :)
I love drops. You love drops. So drop what you're doing and check this episode out. No food analogies this time :(
Networking is about overcoming your fears in order to break out of your comfort zone and get what you want. There's also plenty of technical stuff involved too. I dive into all of that and more in this awesome episode. Bread.
We get into the guts of Perturbator's music in this episode and talk about the different layers that help create some of his most iconic hits. Plus the return of toast.
This is the first episode of a 3 part artist analysis on Perturbator's music, and the topic is consistency. Consistency across albums and songs is important! I think it's incredible that basically all of his music sounds like it was made by him despite all of his music's variety. And burgers.
This week I virtually sat down with darksynth artist and spooky boi Wraithwalker to talk with him about his music, his views on "corporate synthwave", and what he thinks the future holds for the genre. Plus some shenanigans at the end.
The title is pretty self explanatory for this one.
Carpenter Brut is one of the greatest forces in synthwave, and this episode attempts to explain what makes his music so damn good. There absolutely is a method to his madness! No wacky food analogies this time unfortunately ;/
In this episode we get somewhat educational and talk about branding; what it is, why it matters, and how synthwave artists can use it to their advantage.
It's time to unwind and chill out. Get cozy, cause we're talking all about atmosphere with a focus on the more relaxing side of synthwave. Also, pizza.
O yeah baby, it's darksynth time. Glorious edginess in its unfiltered, intense form. What it is, why it's good, and what you should be careful for! Plus toast.
I know that there are unanswerable questions that keep you tossing and turning at night, plaguing your mind and preventing you from sleeping in peace. They include; what is synthwave; what is this podcast; and why should I even bother listening to it. Don't ask how I know, but I know that these things bother you. But now, I'll answer your burning questions in this introductory episode!
