This week, I want to celebrate the art of creating beautiful, impactful pieces of music and unique soundscapes primarily using knobs, oscillators, keyboards, and sequencers. The synthesizer is one of the most flexible instruments one can attain due to its ability to, well, synthesize! Even if they just kind of fall into the background as a compliment to vocals or traditional acoustic or electric instruments, their presence is omnipresent. In short, they are worth appreciating.
I kept the playlist pretty accessible, too.
