Beyond Synth

Today Andy is joined by TLF a.k.a Christoph 'Hadl' Hassel. Hadl appeared on the show back in 2020 as half of Siamese Youth, but today he’s flying solo to talk about the origins of the TLF project, 80s music, playing pianos, and collaborating with one of his childhood music influences Chris Huelsbeck. Hadl also chats about top-lining for other artists, Right Said Fred, classical music, and Rondò Veneziano. There’s even a brief cameo from Happy the dog!

Today on the show Andy is joined by They / Live, a.k.a. Whitney, who talks about her genre-hopping musical journey from country ballads to cool synth pop tunes.

On today’s show, Andy hangs out with Steve from Opus Science Collective — a one-man musical powerhouse, teacher, and cool guy. They chat about the origins of his misleadingly plural band name, dive into synths, chiptune, city pop, and even get interrupted by his senile cat, Yoda. Steve and Andy nerd out over classic cartoons like The Real Ghostbusters and Transformers, the weirdness of N64 emulation, and fantasies about dream geek spaces — including Lego rooms and CRT-filtered arcades.

R.I.P. Starcadian. This is the conversation I had with Starcadian, originally recorded in May 2022. Please take this opportunity to get to know George, listen to his amazing music, and check out his music videos. Starcadian is one of the greatest talents to ever grace the synthwave scene and he will be missed.
