On today’s episode, Andy interviews UK-based artists The Astral Stereo Project & Polaris Van Samus. Heavily inspired by the sounds and visuals of the 70s and 80s, The Astral Stereo Project has been composing imaginary film scores and concept albums with a remarkably authentic retro sound since 2013. Also taking cues from 80s retro fantasy, arcade culture and the occult is draglesque performer, writer and mystic Polaris Van Samus. They chat about their artistic origins, inspiration, creative process and upcoming projects. If you enjoy engaging interviews, irreverent humour and the latest synthwave releases then you’ll love Beyond Synth: the best synthwave chat show there is.
