Once I have a bassline, chord progression or melody I start working from there and see where it brings me. I’m also always browsing my presets and when I find I sound I like I start jamming with it until an idea is born. I’m always working on new ideas, which is my way to not get a writer’s block (and which has resulted in thousands of snippets and loops on my computer). Which comes first when you’re producing – the sound or the idea? Everyday I’m baffled by all the great response I get from my fans, it’s amazing! But then it was picked up by NewRetroWave and things went really fast.
Little did I know Timecop is also a Jean Claude van Damme movie (found that out about a year after).īefore Timecop1983 I used to work on a lot of music, but never released anything. So I came up with Timecop and added my birth year, 1983, to it.
I was listening to Futurecop! at that moment and decided to use that as an inspiration for my nickname. I had some Synthwave snippets and decided to post them on Soundcloud. The name Timecop1983 was born in a split-second to be honest. Have you ever played under any other name? The name Timecop1983 invokes all sorts of vintage sci-fi images – tell us a bit more about this name and how it became yours. Music has the ability to take you back to the past and to instantly make you relive emotions, feelings and situations in your mind. We caught up with Timecop1983 and chatted about soundtrack music, 80’s mixtapes and crazy fans. Listen to Timecop1983’s track ‘On The Run’, a cinematic-inspired wave of synth and 80’s bass, from his album ‘Night Drive’, below. The whole album has also been released as an instrumental release, which is just as powerful and nostalgic as the first version.
Timecop1983 has recently released his album ‘Night Drive’, an 11-track journey of melancholic and romantic synthwave featuring talented artists including The Midnight, Lebrock and Kinnie Lane. Timecop1983 has been making music since as young as 12 years old, without any background in music by working hard and experimenting with a myriad of genres, from hardrock to classical, this synthwave mastermind began to focus solely on 80’s-inspired music and has now managed to carve out his own dreamy and retro sound within the retrowave and synthwave genres. Timecop1983’s unique synthwave sound washes over the listener like an 80’s dream steeped in romantic nostalgia and vintage sounds, this musician has taken the genre and made it completely his own.
