JOHNNY MORGAN'S Synth Dreams - Synth Studio Tour
An in-depth synth studio tour of Johnny Morgan's synth recording and music studio. Johnny is a 20+ year AAA video game sound designer, TV & film composer and keyboardist. He also runs the popular Synth Dreams Youtube channel at @johnnymorgansynthdreams. In this studio tour he showcases his synth & modular collection and shares insights as a musician, composer and video game music & audio creator.
Johnny Morgan has 20+ years experience in sound design and music composition for AAA title video games and consoles including Electronic Arts (SSX Tricky, FIFA Street, Need For Speed Carbon), Nexon Publishing (MMO titles), and Microsoft (audio director).
His music has been featured on TV shows including The Sopranos, NCIS, Big Bang Theory and the Mark Wahlberg film "Contraband". He also posted sound design for the Olympics Opening Ceremonies in 2010.
Johnny is super passionate about synthesizers, especially vintage synths. On his Synth Dreams Youtube channel ( / @johnnymorgansynthdreams ) you'll find synth jams, various insights and best of all, a ton of well researched and captivating synth documentaries covering synthesizer history and the synth industry.
In addition to all this, Johnny ran a house music label (Powerplant Music) and was a touring keyboardist for metal bands Strapping Young Lad and Fear Factory. He continues to write and perform music with the electro-industrial band Unit:187 (http://unit187.com).
This synth studio tour and interview barely scratches the surface of Johnny's many accomplishments and talents. I want to thank him for giving me the time to visit his music & recording studio, and allowing me to share his synth passion and industry knowledge with you.
Hope you enjoy the studio tour and thanks again, Johnny!
