EGO SYNTH - 86 Romantic Illusion
Krister Axel
This poignant and creative electronic number combines a little throwback synth pop with a nod to the 80s. All the while, exploring a wide array of synthesizers ranging from fuzzy square waves to chimes and bells, and everything in between. When the bass drops and the groove kicks in, you'll swear you were at the opening of a long lost John Hughes movie. It's all very retro fantastic, and also serves as a metaphor for how someone can experience romantic emotions within the confines a narcissistic, one-way relationship. In a world that is increasingly disconnected from spirituality and the body-mind connection, perhaps we shall seek our comfort wherever we may find it. EGO SYNTH 86 creates music that explores nostalgia, melancholy, and the power of emotion.
