SAY YES TO TOMORROW | Retrofuturistic Cyberpunk Synthwave | SYNTHLAB

Описание: Welcome to SYNTHLAB — a digital lab for synthwave sound research, cyberpunk atmosphere, and neon-lit motion through imagined megacities.

Say Yes to Tomorrow continues the series launched with Neon Grid Rider — a futuristic cyberpunk novel told in episodes: the story of a young mechanic who can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong in her city. Not just crime. Not just corruption. Something subtler — a pressure in the skyline, patterns that don’t add up, and moments where reality seems to glitch around the edges.

This episode doesn’t run.
It recovers.

She finally made it home — not a safehouse in the traditional sense, but a small, warm pocket carved out of a hostile city. A micro-apartment with cables overhead, half-open parts drawers, diagnostic screens glowing on a messy desk, and tools laid out like an artist’s brushes. It’s chaos — but it’s her chaos. Functional. Familiar. Comforting.

Here, she regenerates.

A mug steams beside a coffee press. A hanging plant sways gently in the recycled air. Warm lamplight softens the metal walls. The megacity’s roar becomes a distant texture, filtered through glass and rain. For a moment, she can forget the chase, the fear, the way the streets feel like they’re watching back.

She can build again.
Tinker. Prototype. Fix what the world keeps breaking.

But the window is always there.

Beyond it: the megacity—towering, neon-drenched, endless. Beautiful from a distance. Almost peaceful. Yet every time she looks out, something tightens in her stomach. A quiet pressure. A warning that doesn’t have words.

Something in that skyline is wrong.
And whatever it is… it hasn’t stopped moving just because she did.

Tonight, her room is a sanctuary.
But the city outside doesn’t feel like it’s sleeping.

Sound & inspiration:
Smooth synthwave with a cyberpunk edge — mid-tempo, warm, and melodic. Cozy pads and shimmering arps wrap around steady drums and a pulsing bassline, while the harmony carries that subtle unease: comfort indoors, tension beyond the glass. The track breathes—less pursuit, more reset, with a lingering question underneath.

🎛️ Series focus: sound design, sonic worldbuilding, and atmosphere — track by track, expanding the SYNTHLAB universe.
📼 Visuals: rainy window reflections / warm desk lamp glow / cluttered IT-mechanic workspace / hanging plant silhouette / coffee steam / neon megacity blur outside.

About the process
This series is built around a transparent human + AI collaboration: SYNTHLAB defines the concept, references, mood, and musical direction, then uses AI tools as a creative co-pilot for rapid iteration, variation, and refinement. The result isn’t “autopilot music,” but a curated experiment where technology supports an intentional artistic vision.
