Mein Song „Velocity“ beinhaltet verschiedene musikalische Elemente, die meiner Erinnerungen an die 1980er Jahre entspringen. Dazu gehören Soundtracks der TV-Serie „Miami Vice“ und der Sound der europäischen Amiga-Szene (gemeint ist der Heimcomputer von Commodore). So finden sich darin Stilelemente die man dem Genrekreis des Futurewave/Retrowave/Synthwave oder Synthpop zuordnen kann, aber auch andere. Wie so oft lässt sich das nicht genau einordnen, Musik ist eben sehr vielfältig. In meiner Vorstellung passt der Track sehr gut zu einem Autorennspiel, oder generell zum Thema „Cruisen“. Ein bisschen Retrofuturismus ist durchaus zu finden. Aber allgemein ist es ein breiter Synth-Song mit ordentlich „Drive“…

My song “Velocity” contains various musical elements that come from my memories of the 1980s. These include soundtracks from the TV series “Miami Vice” and the sound of the European Amiga scene (meaning the Commodore home computer). There are stylistic elements that can be assigned to the genre of Futurewave/Retrowave/Synthwave or Synthpop, but also others - hard to classify exactly; music is very diverse. In my opinion, the track fits very well with a car racing game, or with “cruising” in general. There is definitely a bit of retrofuturism to be found. But in general it's a wide synth song with a lot of drive...
