Simulakrum Lab[1][2] is an synthwave/retrowave music project created by Paolo Prevosto, composer and sound designer, guests who collaborated in the first album are: Claudio Simonetti[3][4] (famous author, together with Goblin, of many Dario Argento’s movies soundtracks) keyboard player in track “Aggregat 4″, Fabio Pignatelli (bass player, former Goblin member, known for “Profondo Rosso” and “Suspiria” soundtracks) bass guitar player in track “Backlit”, Kenneth Johnson (maker, producer and director of many famous TV series, among which “Visitors”, “Bionic Woman”, “The Incredible Hulk” and “Alien Nation”) voice in track “The Day The Vocoder Stood Still”, Liz Enthusiasm (singer for the U.S.A. sinth-pop band “Freezepop”) vocals in “Quiet Girl” and “Far Worlds”. In the first album there is also the collaboration of Eugene as a singer and keyboard player.

The concept deals with advanced research technology matters, by means of 70s sound paradigms, inspired by electronic music pioneers such as Kraftwerk, Goblin and Moroder. What makes this project peculiar is the realization of tracks based almost exclusively on original analog synthetizers from the 70s, Moog, Korg and Doepfer, avoiding as much as possible the use of emulated computer synthetizers. The core of Simulakrum Lab is the balance between old school electronic music and groundbreaking future sound engineering. The first work made by Simulakrum Lab[5][6] was the remix of the song “Special Effects” by Freezepop in 2012, in 2013 they released the first album titled “Simulakrum Lab” for A5 label. In 2015 they made the remix of the track “Killing“[7][8] from “Demons” soundtrack by Claudio Simonetti for the 30th Anniversary of the movie,[9] same year the track “Backlit” was used for the ending titles of the French movie “Mantoson Biotecnology”. In 2016 they released the “Simulakrum Lab” white vinyl published by Rustblade label.
