TDL Synth Chat: Espen Kraft Interview


Listen Later

Join me for a deep‑dive conversation with Espen Kraft — musician, producer, YouTuber, vintage‑synth aficionado, and creator of some of the most authentic '80s‑inspired music on YouTube. We talk early musical beginnings, vintage gear, sampling, YouTube controversies, creativity, and the realities of making music today.

Espen shares stories from door‑to‑door organ sales in Norway, his first synth (the Akai AX80), his journey into production, and how his channel evolved from music uploads to full‑blown synth tutorials and gear deep‑dives. We also explore the "synth scam" video, dealing with online backlash, and why modern plugins can absolutely rival vintage hardware.

Whether you're into synth history, production talk, or just love hearing musicians geek out, this is a great one.
