Hi,
I'd go for synthpop, new wave, 80s or soundtrack,
depending on your
leanings and intention. Synth rock might also be an alternative.
Ah. Synth rock might not be too bad to start with. For me, I hear the
acoustic guitar in there quite a lot, although that might be a bias.
There's a 'natural' aspect to it. Organic synth rock. o-synth rock.
I like that one, it has grid and both feet planted on
the ground,
while maintaining some interesting sounds. With my personal antipathy
for the 80s, I'd say there's a little too much of that, but that is
unreasonable. :) It is a very balanced blend of simple structure,
entertaining and captivating development and changes, a catching
rhythm and of course lovely synth sounds. Did you design any of those
yourself?
Thanks for the comments !
I guess the 80s is a natural tendency since I haven't heard much of that
synthwave material that seems to gain some traction.
I still use stock sounds that I modify slightly. I've started to learn
about how sounds are made so I'm building slowly a knowledge that will
at least be useful to tweak sounds appropriately. Creating high quality
sounds takes certainly some amount of time. I'd rather be making music
instead. I appreciate a lot all the people that spend this time doing
so. Sometimes I make a parallel with real instruments, eg. I play
guitar, form sounds, but I'm certainly not building any. Maybe this
also applies to synthesizers and sound patches.
Cheers.
