SYNTHWAVE / VAPORWAVE /80s NOSTALGIA / COMPUTER GAME MUSIC

Gran Turismo Original Game Soundtracks (Japanese Versions)







Komponiert wurde ein Großteil der Soundtracks von einem meiner ganz großen Gitarrenhelden: Masahiro Andoh von T-Square.
Masahiro Andoh (安藤 正容 Andō Masahiro, born September 16, 1954) is a Japanese composer, guitarist and T-Square's leader from Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. He was also one-third of "Ottottrio", a Superband led by three Japanese guitarists: himself, Hirokuni Korekata of KORENOS and Issei Noro of Casiopea.

Andoh was also commissioned to create the music for Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits and Gran Turismo. He is one of the performers for the band's composition, "Truth", the theme tune for Fuji Television's Formula One World Championship coverage (which has been in use since 1987) and the F-1 Grand Prix video game series.
 

Trinkaus, Eriksson and Kwid joined forces in 2015 to progress the sound of the current synthwave/retro/'80s scene. Combining synthwave sounds infused with elements of jazz fusion, '80s library, and modern Shibuya-kei, they create a sophisticated blend of rich harmonic heavily melodic music that pairs well with a chilled glass of Dom Perignon. Their main instruments of choice primarily consist of digital synthesizers manufactured in the 1980s in Japan with the frequent addition of live guitars.
 
Ollie Wride (bekannt durch "Running in the Night" von FM-84), Leon Else (hier und hier gepostet) und Shaun Phillips (LEBROCK) haben Stimmen, die nicht unterschiedlicher klingen könnten und dennoch alle – warum auch immer – wie direkt aus den 80ern klingen. Die vielen Kindheits- und Jugenderinnerungen, die das Video zu "One Night" in mir weckt, treffen mich mitten ins Herz. Hymne!
