Dynatron

One of the original artists of synthwave, Denmark's DYNATRON is a trailblazer in off-world soundscapes, meticulously crafting the soundtrack to eternal space exploration. Following on the heels of the acclaimed, ambient “Rigel Axiom” EP; Dynatron's long- and highly-awaited third album arrives. “Origins” is his most personal work to date – a quest for meaning through the infinite chaos, a meditation on loneliness and the painstaking search for hope. Some say synthwave is dead ... During the past decade, the scene has indeed risen, splintered, and sub-splintered; but Dynatron remains firmly anchored as one of its true, original voices. Dynatron is the proof that synthwave lives. Building upon the cinematic atmosphere of his previous work – exploring a massive variety of analogue synthesizers – “Origins” is the perfect throwback to the genre's beginnings. Retro, ethereal, and passionate. The record touches upon synthwave's foundations while expanding Dynatron's scope through a wider range of musical instrumentation. Orchestral sounds give the album a more human feel. Choir and strings mix against synthesizer flourishes to create a supernatural aura. The creation of “Origins” took Dynatron on a five-year exploration into the abyss of self-discovery.
