“Waves of Hope” is a remarkable new compilation album from 24 different indie synth artists.
This pay-what-you-want release is donating 100% of the proceeds to fund the creation of protective face shields – which are then donated (not sold) to healthcare and emergency workers.
This project is the brainchild of VinylBomb‘s owner Chris Rodkey, and TEEEL.
After the COVID outbreak, Chris realized he could re purpose his production to create much-needed PPE gear for healthcare workers facing the COVID crisis. He created a prototype, and made the template open source so anyone with a CNC or laser cutter could make them. He also began a GoFundMe, with all fund raised dedicated to creating and donating these essential face shields.
TEEEL, seeing this fundraiser took it upon himself to coordinate with 24 synth artists and the record label Synth Records to create “Waves of Hope.”
The compilation itself is an eclectic mix of well produced synth, ranging from intense crunchy darksynth to chillwave and retrowave – and plenty in-between.
Containing a little bit of everything ,”Waves of Hope” is a well rounded and beautiful mix for a good cause. Even without the donations, this is not a release you would want to miss!
