Synthwave

Lost in LA

Music for the hours when the freeways run at their posted speed.

Synthwave for the hour Los Angeles finally slows to a glow. The city on this site is the real one. Every road named here is a road you can drive tonight, and every hour described comes around again. Play it in the car after midnight, with the map app closed. Set the level higher than is sensible.

Where this comes from

The Los Angeles on this site is the one you can go and check, rather than a story set in it. The pages below are gathered under Los Angeles after dark, and nothing on any of them is invented.

Four photographs of the same hour

  • Sun setting over the downtown Los Angeles skyline, seen from Griffith Observatory
    Griffith
  • Los Angeles at twilight under a pink and purple sky
    Twilight
  • Downtown Los Angeles towers against a golden sky
    Downtown
  • Santa Monica Pier silhouetted against the sunset

What is actually in these pictures is read image by image on golden hour. Every photographer is named in the photo credits.

About

One person makes this music, in Los Angeles, at the pace one person can. There is no name on it here and no press photo, and the about page sets out the rest of what can honestly be said.
