Wave 11

Imagine

This THIRD single of a bunch of 9 to be released between 2023 & 2024. This one is an intrumental trying to capture the mood a sexy and erotic B movie on a VHS you would have rent in the mid 80s. Our Synthwave challenge that will end up with a full album in 2025. The mutation of Suffocating Minds into SFMD is a passage from the shadow to the light thanks to a positive Synthwave that claims the typical codes of 80s Pop Culture. The turning point? The musical encounter, followed by a real collaboration, in 2021, with the genius of Retrowave: Droid Bishop (L.A.). Main influences: Kavinsky, The Midnight and John Carpenter's main soundtracks!

Ghost Mode - Moving On

Happy go lucky song that started off as something completely different a long time ago. Can't remember what the idea was, but about nine iterations later, and several months waiting for some real brass parts that never showed up, I figured I'd finish it before the year was up.

Lot's of KORG M3R, M1Rex, Wavestation and Roland/Yamaha synths making up the intro as well as the go-to bass, keys and synth plucks I usually pick. Replaced much of the guitars with parts from Håvard Caspersen. Strummed steel string, muted electric and a searing guitar solo in the middle. I also got Tylden to do a solo at the end, as usual – because, why not? ;)

2024 has been pretty rough for most people, but I guess we survived since we're still here. Hoping 2025 doesn't bring us closer to the abyss... I'm looking at you America and Russia! :P

I guess it's nothing more to say than:
Happy New Year! Let's go!

Let's Go!
