As a lifelong multi-instrumentalist and performer, here is a 4 hour long curation of some of my all time favorite '80s- early '90s synthesizer and guitar instrumental selections and soundtracks that inspire me as a composer. I feel the '80s sound was defined by the state of the art synthesizers that were produced at the time from Roland, Yamaha, Korg and other names in the industry, as well as the musical masterminds that utilized them. It's a soundscape that never fails to fill me with instant nostalgia of a unique era long past, but never forgotten.
