Innsport '86 - Repairer of Reputations:
Hi All,
I wanted to share a synth album I recently put out. I tracked down a number of 80s synths, samples and rack effects to create, what I hope was an authentic sounding soundtrack to a fake film.
I used tools that were available at the time. In particular, I was interested in the crossover from synthesizers to samplers, and how they intermingled in commercial music at this moment in time.
“Innsport” in the name of fictional town I created for fake film’s setting. I imagined that the financiers of this film were still slightly afraid of getting sued by August Derleth and Arkham House, who owned the rights to lovso they opted for a slight variation on Innsmouth.
As for the plot. I think you can ascertain much of it from the song titles, but it’s a bit like The Shadow Over Innsmouth , mixed with elements from Dead and Buried , The Fog , Messiah of Evil , Prince of Darkness and Silent Hill .
