An Introduction To Nightlights
Dec. 2nd, 2017 09:28 pmEllo ello ello, wot's all this then? Okay, well Nightlights is my synthwave project. And for those who may not know what synthwave is, it's primarily synthesizer based music with (generally) an 80s feel to it, or sometimes 90s. The genre covers a big range of styles, from synthpop to movie soundtracks to dark gothic themed music.
In my case, at this time, I write instrumentals which are mostly upbeat, optimistic songs. I can't and won't sing, so bum to that, but who knows? Maybe one day I'll have chance to work with a singer! I wrote music as "Snowkitten" for over 10 years, before putting that project on one side and beginning writing as Nightlights in the autumn of 2016. The first EP was then released in early 2017, and since then there have been quite a few other releases, with hopefully a full album planned for next year. And I was very lucky to be given the chance to sign Nightlights to the label, Filtersweep Collective, a few months ago, who helps distribute the releases on a range of different sites and promotes them via Twitter, Facebook etc.
If you're interested in checking out my music, you can find most of the Nightlights tracks on my Bandcamp page here. There are a few other tracks on compilations, including some exclusives, and I'll post links to those in future entries here.
