About this episode
The episode features a reflective conversation with Betamaxx about changes in the music scene and personal experiences since his first appearance.
This episode of Beyond Synth catches up with OG scene mainstay Betamaxx, aka Nick Morey, for a loose, funny, and reflective conversation about how much has changed since his earliest appearances on the show. What starts as a trip down memory lane turns into a wide-ranging talk about aging, creative momentum, old-school radio frustration, scene identity, social media burnout, and how the excitement around synthwave shifted after the pandemic. Along the way, Betamaxx talks about recent and upcoming music, collaborations with FM Attack and Michael Weber, the possibility of playing live again, and finding fresh inspiration through a strange Soviet-era Russian synthesizer, If you like what you’re hearing you can support Beyond Synth on Patreon: www.patreon.com/beyondsynth or PayPal: www.paypal.com/paypalme/beyondsynth Check Out BETAMAXX here: https://soundcloud.com/betamaxx http://betamaxxmusic.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/3uIfha7lvdSsoFeJNJS3vJ https://www.instagram.com/betamaxx https://www.facebook.com/betamaxx80s Today’s Playlist: FM Attack & Betamaxx - “Remember” Betamaxx & FM Attack - “Cosmic Voyage” Betamaxx & Glitbiter - “Lost by Design” Betamaxx - “Depiction”…
