When we watch a gripping movie or immerse ourselves in a captivating video game, the accompanying soundtrack often plays a pivotal role in shaping our emotions. The music serves as a powerful tool, setting the rhythm for these experiences by alternating between moments of tension and relaxation. It breathes life into every scene and sequence, enhancing our connection to the narrative.
The skill of a composer lies in their ability to deftly balance these emotional highs and lows. They must know when to introduce change, inject tension to heighten a scene, and allow relaxation to provide space for the audience to absorb the depth of the story.
This delicate balance is crucial. Well-placed crescendos can amplify the impact of tumultuous action scenes, intensifying our emotional investment. Conversely, softer and serene …

I’m not one to dwell on the past, but I must admit that music from the synthpop era of the 1980s and surrounding years holds a special place in my heart. Perhaps I’m biased, but I can’t help but feel that modern music has lost a lot of its originality and creativity.
Gone are the days from the synthpop era, when musicians sought out new sounds and experimented with their equipment to create unique and personal tracks. It seems like everyone today is content with replicating the same tired formulas that have already been successful in the past.
The result is a saturation of the market with generic music that lacks any real personality or flair. It’s as if every other artist out there is just a copycat, hoping to cash in on the success of those who came before them.
That being said, I recently came across an Italian band called The Kolors who seem to be breaking the mold with their latest release, “Cabriolet Panorama”. This song is a breath of fresh air in a world that often feels stagnant and repetitive.
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend giving it a listen.
