Syntech

Syntech was a Dutch electronic music project formed by [a92587] and Huib Schippers. The project represented an intersection of visual and auditory art within the "Spacesynth" genre. Edwin van der Laag, primarily recognized as the graphic artist behind the iconic Laserdance record covers, transitioned into music production using an Atari ST running Cubase. Seeking to refine his initial tracks, he collaborated with Huib Schippers, an experienced producer known for his work on the Trilithon project. Under the guidance of executive producer Erik van Vliet, Syntech released two influential albums through the renowned Hotsound Records label. Their work is defined by its melodic, futuristic soundscapes that mirrored the sci-fi aesthetics of Van der Laag’s cover art.
