The Midnight - Endless Summer
For some reason, Spotify has been randomly playing me music from this band called The Midnight. And...I really like it. It's in that synthwave/retrowave musical genre which always makes me feel like I'm watching a bad '80s movie (I guess that's the point). But the pumping back beats and the synthesizers are so soothing.
Also, new EP is out!!!
Breaking down the synthesizers in the Stranger Things soundtrack
This was really interesting. Justin DeLay sits down with a bunch of analog synthesizers to recreate and breakdown some of the music from the Stranger Things soundtrack. He goes step-by-step in recreating the sound and even lets you download the pack as an Ableton file.
The Moog Model 15 Modular Synthesizer for iOS
This is pretty darn amazing. Moog just recently released a $30 iOS app that simulates a $10,000 Moog Model 15 Synthesizer. And by all accounts so far, it does the job really well. This is the amazing thing about tablets and touchscreen capabilities -- you basically have the functionality of a full-fledge console instrument (a huge one at that) that can fit in your backpack -- flat!
Moog uploaded a bunch of samples of what you can do with this amazing $30 app. Case in point, you can do anything. Just listen. Then download the app here!
