The Nostalgia of “Resonance”, Explained
This video is way more interesting than it has any right to be.
First, you may want to listen to Resonance by HOME. Then check out the video below by “MisterAmazing”. The behind-the-scenes look at why this track evokes a nostalgic, melancholic feel is fascinating.
Blade Runner – Esper Edition
Elon Musk recently tweeted out a link to the “Esper Edition” of the Blade Runner soundtrack. I had listened to the original soundtrack before, but this was the first I’ve heard about the Esper Edition.
You can listen to it in its full glory below. I love how this edition incorporates bits of dialogue from the movie.
Also, I only just now realized that Demis Roussos performed vocals on the soundtrack (“Tales of the Future“). I had always wondered whose voice that was, although in retrospect the connection is obvious.
Here’s a taste of Demis Roussos’ discography:
While researching the connection between Blade Runner’s soundtrack and Roussos’ involvement in it, I came across this terrific write-up by Nick Soulsby:
The soundtrack to Blade Runner remains a singular achievement; a soundtrack that invoked the past and the future, that remained suspended like Shrodinger’s cat in a state of unresolved being, that plays ancestor to an impressive clutch of modern musical forms while simultaneously sounding like a product of the modern age, or the first fruit of music yet to come.
Synthwave Deep Dive
I’ve been obsessed with synthwave lately.
It all started when someone shared a link to “Hold” by Home. Before I knew it, I was in love. For the past few days, I’ve been delving into all kinds of synthwave and retrowave tracks.
Here are some of my favorites so far:
In fact, there are too many good ones to share, so I’ve created a Synthwave Playlist page, where I’ll post my favorites and update it with new tracks as I discover them.
Perfect listening for a long drive, working on your laptop deep into the night, or exploring mind-altering states.
