The movie Drive with the Kavinsky classic Nightcall was the moment I decided I wanted to find more music like it and like Daft Punk - Tron : Legacy.

Darkwave vs. Dark Synth

Darkwave is a music style from the late 70s and 80s, known as the darker side of New Wave.

If you're looking for dark synthwave, you want Dark Synth—a distinct genre from Darkwave with a more intense, cinematic feel.

Today I received my prize for winning the Synth Samurai Kumite. The greatest music tournament.

Thank you Synth Samurai and Lounsberry pedal. I can’t wait to make new music with the pedal.

The music is currently available on my Bandcamp page as individual songs. I am working creating artwork and finishing the song better than the one week deadline permitted. A album release of all tracks will be available on Bandcamp and on cd soon-ish.

Huge thanks to my fellow competitors and everyone who listened, supported, and encouraged me throughout this journey. I wouldn’t have made it through these eight weeks without you!

After eight weeks of writing, producing, and pushing creative limits, I’m honored to say that I’ve been named the winner of Synth Samurai’s Kumite 2025 by my peers. The Kumite is a tournament where musicians create a new song every week for 8 weeks
