Episode 3 - Ogre

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! UK composer and synthwave producer Robin Ogden builds imagined soundtracks for films that don't exist — wonky vintage analogue synths, tape loops and spring reverb, recorded hot and gritty. His 2012 album 194 is a love letter to Carpenter, Goblin and Vangelis, and Calico Brawn (2013), the album spotlighted in Beyond Synth's first episode, is its Miami Vice-soaked counterpart, mastered to VHS — its "Shore Thing" became the Beyond Synth theme. He's since scored award-winning games (Actual Sunlight, This Is The Police I & II, Hacknet: Labyrinths), featured in and scored The Rise of the Synths, and was named Electronic Sound Magazine's One To Watch in 2019. "2019" (from 194) — starts at 0:01 "End Credits" (from 194) — starts at 2:25 "The Call" (from Calico Brawn) — starts at 5:12 "All's Well That Ends Well" (from Calico Brawn) — starts at 10:10 "Interceptor" (from 195) — starts at 14:32 "Negotiation's Over" (from 195) — starts at 17:05 "It's dangerous to go alone" (from the À La Cart EP, a short clip) — starts at 19:33
