539: OctaMED, Amigas and Dark 80s Music - The Retro Hour EP539
About this episode
The episode features an interview with synth musician Paulee Alex Bow discussing dark 80s music and the Commodore Amiga.
Synth musician, performer and self-described “bleakwave” artist Paulee Alex Bow joins us. We explore dark ’80s music and an love for the Commodore Amiga. Paulee reveals how OctaMED became the heart of a modern hardware-synth setup, why original machines can't be replaced, and what it takes to perform live with two Amigas in tow. We also hear about the Arcade Dreams soundtrack, haunted synths, Amiga MIDI, car-boot retro discoveries and why the Amiga community can sometimes feel almost spiritual.
