The Rise of the Synths is a brief but excellent glimpse into the world of underground music production. It shows how a renaissance of nostalgia for the 80s sparked the creative geniuses showcased in the documentary. I think more importantly it puts a humanizing touch to the music and musicians. The narration by John Carpenter really brought the experience full circle to me, as many of the artists credited Carpenter's works as inspiration. To really hammer home the 80s stylization, a DeLorean is featured in several scenes of the film.
I'm looking forward to watching this again!

7.1 Synopsis
Raise your hand if you haven't seen or heard of Stranger Things. The phenomenon of this series responds to a nostalgia for the 80's that is reflected today and relentlessly in film, television and even video games - And of course, also in music. Narrated by iconic director John Carpenter, The Rise Of The Synths is a journey back and forth in time, from to the roots of this scene to its impact on today's pop culture. So what is Synthwave? An irresistible blend of nostalgia and music; of creative processes and cultural references; of re-appropriation and legitimate creation. Is a random revival or an emerging cultural phenomenon?
