Synth Space Music foregrounds the instrument itself—the analog or digital synthesizer—as the carrier of cosmic feeling, making timbre, glide, filter bloom, and held chord color the genre’s defining features.
History
This is the classic sonic center of space music, binding together Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Serrie, Roach, and Stearns under the shared belief that synthesizers are peculiarly suited to portraying scale, suspension, and interstellar motion.
