The old soundtrack of a new generation.

A documentary about the Synthwave scene, nostalgia and the universe of creating sounds. A love letter to human fascination and the collective memories of a universe, that never existed.

This musical style isn't for everyone, and it isn't anything new either. As Texan producer John Bergin notes, “It's a reappropriation of past sounds to make a new trend.“ But if this sounds like something that interests you, Iván Castell's 'The Rise of the Synths' is worth 80 minutes or so of your time.
