Ferus Melek

Synthwave producer from Finland.
Unlike many of his contemporaries he cannot boast a huge fan base or great fame in the retrowave scene, but this does not prevent him from creating his gloomy darksynth-symphony, full of skepticism about the end of all things and the arrival of universal darkness. However, this gloom is immediately diluted with a drop of something bright, which adds hope. This element strikingly distinguishes the work of the artist from the rest of the field on the dark side of synthwave.

My first touch in making electronic music was probably around ’86 when I got my hands on a Commodore 64. It had a simple sound editor and I started hitting notes in. Obviously, it sounded like crap, but I truly adored the sound of the SID-engine and the music of the game composers at that time, and I still do actually! And there’s your answer. For my musical career we can blame guys like Martin Galway, Rob Hubbard, and Ben Daglish, just to name a few.

After that, I had my years playing in heavy metal bands (bass/drums) and doing industrial music as a solo project. Years 2002–2015 I did absolutely no music at all and I felt sick everyday

My setup is very simple: Macbook Pro, Reason 10, two midi keyboards, one mic, and software synths only. I am very much an “in-the-box” producer, although occasionally I borrow my friend’s bass and guitar for certain songs.

Hi, I am Ferus and I make pre-apocalyptic synth music. Stick around for a while, I am glad that you are here.
