合成器潮Synthwave

Synthwave是电子音乐的一种形式，它的大部分灵感来自于20世纪80年代的合成音乐和流行文化。在音乐上，合成波通常是器乐的，有一个“未来主义”的主题，有大型的，跳动的，复古的合成器。受房屋影响的重型鼓(通常是侧链的)也很受欢迎。它从20世纪80年代起源和/或最流行的各种流派中获得灵感，包括但不限于合成流行音乐、进步电子音乐、意大利迪斯科音乐、电迪斯科音乐和其他衍生风格。

合成波专辑通常以类似于电影配乐、电影配乐、电视音乐或视频游戏音乐专辑的风格排列。合成波的视觉元素也很重要。专辑封面深受80年代电影(特别是科幻和动作片，如“银翼杀手”或“终结者”)、电视节目(特别是“迈阿密风云”和“骑士骑士”)、视频游戏(特别是“跑路”和类似的游戏)以及其他80年代文化中重要元素的影响。合成波的起源可以追溯到2000年代中期的法国电房场景。

像卡文斯基这样的艺术家将豪斯音乐与80年代电子音乐的元素结合在一起，完成了80年代灵感的艺术作品。不久之后，几位法国制作人，如College，Anoraak和Minitel Rose开始制作类似风格的音乐。也有一些合成波配乐，如Drive和Hotline Miami。从那时起，许多唱片公司都专门为这种声音而成立(最重要的是法国品牌Valerie，美国品牌意大利人做得更好的唱片，以及加拿大的Rosso Corsa唱片公司)，随着这一领域的继续蓬勃发展，世界各地涌现出一批制作人。

Synthwave is a form of Electronic music that takes most of its inspiration from synth music and pop culture from the 1980s. Musically, synthwave is often instrumental and has a "futuristic" theme, with large, throbbing, retro synths. House influenced heavy drums (often side-chained) are also very popular.

It draws inspiration from a variety of genres that originated and/or was most popular during the 1980s, including, but not limited to, Synth Pop, Progressive Electronic, Italo-Disco, Electro-Disco and other derivative styles. Synthwave albums are generally arranged in a style that is similar to a Film Soundtrack, Film Score, Television Music or Video Game Music album. The visual element of synthwave is important as well. Album covers are heavily influenced by 1980s films (especially Science Fiction and Action movies, such as Blade Runner or The Terminator), TV shows (specifically Miami Vice and Knight Rider), video games (notably OutRun and similar titles), and other elements important in 1980s culture.

The origins of synthwave can be traced back to French Electro House scene in the mid-2000s. Artists such as Kavinsky combined House music with elements of 1980s Electronic music, complete with 1980s inspired artwork. Soon after, several French producers, such as College, Anoraak and Minitel Rose began producing similar styled music. There have also been some synthwave soundtracks, such as Drive and Hotline Miami.

Since then, many record labels have been set up dedicated to this sound (the most important being the French label Valerie, American label Italians Do It Better Records, and the Canadian label Rosso Corsa Records), and a slew of producers have emerged from around the world, as the scene continues to flourish.
