Rémi Gallego · Synthwave
Synthwave composer for video games
Rémi Gallego writes synthwave for games, often at its darkest and heaviest: driving arpeggios, retro drum machines and analog-style leads, pushed toward metal when the game calls for it. Powerful or melancholic, always in service of the game.
His score for Hell Is Other Demons, an arcade shooter from Cuddle Monster Games, is a heavy, brooding synthwave album he wrote, mixed and mastered himself. The Last Spell blends synthwave with progressive metal, and his tracks “Malware Injection” and “Panic Track” for the hacking game Hacknet sit on a soundtrack shared with Carpenter Brut.
Synthwave game soundtracks
The Last Spell
A tactical roguelite from Ishtar Games: hold the last city through the night while the horde comes in waves. Twenty-seven tracks of progressive metal and synth, from “Commander’s Theme” to “Sanctus Overdrive”, also pressed on vinyl by Kid Katana Records.
Hell Is Other Demons
An arcade shooter with bold colour and over-the-top bosses: a demon out to kill other demons, through a long campaign and an endless, procedurally generated arcade mode. A heavy, brooding synthwave score, written, mixed and mastered by Rémi.
Hacknet
A terminal-based hacking simulator: follow the instructions of a recently deceased hacker down a rabbit hole. Rémi wrote the opening track, “Malware Injection”, and “Panic Track”, on a soundtrack shared with Carpenter Brut, Cinematrik and others.
