Neat pic of the clock. Clocks, especially older ones like this can make for some interesting images when combined with a good background like you did here.

I have a cool vintage clock shot from many years ago that I took one evening down at the beach in Ocean City, MD. Don't have it on this computer, but I'll look it up and post it here sometime later on.

Synthesizers - I'm certain have a valid purpose and enhance music for some - personally, I think they destroy it, but to each their own.

Like any instrument, it depends on how they are used. Synths can indeed be annoying, even obnoxious, but can be very effective when used properly / creatively, like in this classic Who tune:

Heh... it warms this ol' geezer's heart to see these other geezers still rockin' out!

One of my favorite uses for synths, though, is in ambient / space music. One way to see if this would appeal to you at all would be to check out one of the oldest shows on the radio specializing in this...

... which broadcasts (and streams) locally for me on WXPN-FM Sunday from 1 AM to 6 AM. Yeah, I usually fall asleep to it, which as the website states, is one of its intentions.

https://xpn.org/

They archive some of the popular programs, not sure if Stars End is one of them, have to check.

Speaking of this show, it's 1:48 AM, time to sleep. I shall return!

( You have been warned! )
