Podcasts about film photography podcast

In this special bonus episode of the Film Photography Podcast, co-host Owen McCafferty sits down with Film Photography Project founder Michael Raso to discuss an entirely new creative journey — music composition and electronic sound design. Michael shares the story behind his debut album Synth Waves From Space, a nostalgic synth-pop and retro-electronic project inspired by the eerie atmosphere and imaginative science fiction worlds of Nigel Kneale's classic Quatermass films and television serials. The conversation explores how decades of filmmaking, podcasting, analog media preservation, and vintage electronics ultimately led Michael toward creating his first full-length music project. Blending pulsing synthesizers, vintage-inspired melodies, and cosmic mood pieces, Synth Waves From Space channels the spirit of 1950s sci-fi cinema through a modern DIY electronic music lens. Owen and Michael also discuss creativity when taking on a new art form, the crossover between film culture and music production, and why it's never too late to begin creating in an entirely new medium.
