Imagine cruising down the highway in 1984, the beach on one side, and the sunset casting a warm glow across the sky. One hand on the wheel, the other on the gear shift, all while a Roland Juno sits in the front seat. This picturesque scene is the backdrop to JPRiZM’s latest single, “Analog Dreams,” a sonic journey that transports listeners to the heart of synthwave nostalgia.
JPRiZM, the mastermind behind the composition, production, and keyboard artistry, embarks on a solo project that delves into the essence of 1980s music. The single is a testament to JPRiZM’s multifaceted influences, blending the classic vibes of Prince, Sister Sledge, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie with the contemporary sounds of French touch and electronic pioneers like Daft Punk.
As a self-proclaimed music historian, JPRiZM’s creative roots trace back to his early exposure to classical and jazz piano. Transitioning into electronic music during his teens, he discovered a passion for crafting songs using electronic keyboards, drum machines, and 16-track recorders. This journey blossomed into a career marked by live performances and official releases, starting with the acclaimed “MINDWALKER.”
“Analog Dreams” isn’t just a song; it’s an immersive experience into the world of epic 80s retro-futurism. The track represents JPRiZM’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of the synthwave genre while staying true to his unique artistic prism.
The single takes listeners on a nostalgic ride, capturing the essence of an era defined by neon lights, synthesized melodies, and a sense of boundless imagination. It’s a musical time machine that seamlessly blends the familiarity of the past with the innovative spirit of the present.
JPRiZM’s musical endeavors extend beyond the boundaries of traditional genres. A gamer and film enthusiast, he draws inspiration from fantasy and science fiction media, infusing his compositions with a cinematic quality that sets them apart.
“Analog Dreams” has already made its mark, with one of JPRiZM’s collaborations, “Galileo,” featured in 2K Sports’ NBA2K. The single stands as a testament to JPRiZM’s ability to craft music that transcends boundaries, connecting with audiences on a visceral level.
In JPRiZM’s words, “Whenever I write music, my sole purpose is to teleport you to another world, full of fantasy and wonder. Losing oneself in the sound waves is a great feeling if you let yourself, and that’s what I live for.”
“Analog Dreams” is more than a song; it’s a sonic voyage, an invitation to relive the magic of the ’80s through the prism of JPRiZM’s musical artistry. As the synthwave genre continues to evolve, JPRiZM emerges as a torchbearer, guiding us through the mesmerizing landscapes of “Analog Dreams.”
