#Synth Music

Anyone: So, do you like synthesizer music?

Me:

Can someone tell me what genre my music falls into? I keep calling it EDM as a catch all but don’t really know the sub genre.

IT'S TIME

(again)

Pick a song from a bad description! You do not have to recognize the song to choose it (although, tbh, at least one of these should be instantly recognizable to the new wavers). Go with what is funniest or what sparks curiosity or just makes you feel some type of a way. Go with your gut.

At the end of the week, I will take all the songs and put them into a playlist, from the song with the least votes to the song with the most votes. If you would like to listen to the playlist when I'm done, and don't feel like finding the post again, please leave a comment or put it in the tags, and I'll tag you when the playlist is up. If you really can't wait a week to find out just what that mix of cumbia and Sandstorm is all about, shoot me an ask and I'll answer.

And please reblog! I like sharing the cool music I find with other people because I am extremely enthusiastic about it! But if you guys don't reblog, it's very difficult for me to find people to share things with. So if you have buddies who live for the synth, please reblog and have them see the poll.

(Also, there will probably be an expanded version of the playlist that comes out around the same time, because it was the only way I could a) cut songs off the original list and b) stop myself continuing down the rabbit hole of finding more music to actually do the poll. So it'll be like, twice the synths at least.)

(Also also, every song is a legit banger, so you will want that playlist, I'm just saying.)

George Harrison’s Electronic Sound, released in 1969 by Zapple, a short-lived subsidiary of the Beatles’ Apple label. One epic electronic work for each album side, performed on a Moog 3-series synthesizer. The cover art comes from a painting by Harrison.

Usually I'm a "sing-other-peoples-music" type of person, what with the years, and years, and years of stage, vocal, jazz, and choral training.

But from time to time I wake up in the mood to write something new. So that's what I've been working on all morning.
