I’m always been a great fan of music that tells a story that’s what I try to achieve myself as well. The combination of those aesthetics and soundtracks inspires me greatly. I can’t say there were specific artists that inspire me, but more the combination of sounds and visuals as seen and heard in Drive, Stranger Things, Summer of ’84, Turbo Kid, Blade Runner, etc.

Especially when I saw the movie Drive in 2013, it just connected with me and I decided to give this kind of music a try.Īs an artist, which artists have been your biggest inspiration and why? What was it about Synthwave music that drew you in?įor me, it was the combination of warm, nostalgic songs and visual aesthetics. It was like magic to me and I just wanted to recreate the sounds I heard and eventually create songs of my own. Holland was going through a Gabber/Hardcore phase, including myself, and this way I could make what I heard on the radio and on CDs I collected. Like I said, I never had any experience with making music and after finding out how I could make music like the people I heard on the radio, it was just amazing to me. It was just the amazement of being able to create music with the computer. What first sparked your interest in making music? So, if it wasn’t for this friend, I probably would have never gotten interested in making music. Eventually, I could make my own music and I basically never stopped doing that. But I was so excited that I could be able to make music with a computer that I just kept trying and trying to get to know the program.
Timecop journeys how to#
While growing up, I never learned to play any musical instruments (apart from learning to play the recorder in school), so when I got a floppy disk from a friend with an MS-DOS tracker when I was 12, I didn’t know how to make music. What was your musical gateway so to speak? We hope to release it within the coming months. I worked with Josh Dally a lot for the new album and we did everything we can to make it sound as good as we could. I had been working on it before the pandemic, but because I couldn’t go anywhere it provided me with lots of time to finish it. I definitely missed going around the world to do shows and meeting the awesome people that listen to my music.īut on the other hand, it allowed me to focus on a new album, which is being mastered as we speak. I didn’t do any shows last year, it’s crazy.
The first few months of 2020, I was focusing on evolving my live shows, and then the pandemic hit. Thank you for inviting me to do this interview! This last year has been rough, right? How are you holding up during this seemingly ever-raging dumpster fire? Jordy, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Once you’ve done that, give this interview a read.
If you’d like to learn more about Timecop1983, or his latest record, head over to Jordy’s Bandcamp here. He’s a cool dude and I was happy to get to know him better. Today, I’ve got none other than Jordy Leenaerts with us. Albums like Journeys and Night Drive are some of the finest the genre has to offer. In that time, he’s released a few studio albums, some of which are absolutely essential to any collection regardless of which format you collect. Timecop1983, real name Jordy Leenaerts, is an Electronic/Synth artist who has been in the game for several years now.
