Synthetic Pop Music: &Tilly, UAP – How Loud Is No Sound

Inspired by early Madonna songs and the sound of Aussie band, ICEHOUSE, the UAP project has just released splendid synthetic Pop music alongside singer-songwriter &Tilly. Their latest collaboration, “How Loud Is No Sound,” is simply stunning.

Moreover, for those who appreciate contemporary artists embracing a similar style, &Tilly stands on par with the likes of La Roux and Allie X. If you’re a new fan like me, then it doesn’t hurt to show some support and add her new track to your playlist!

Above all, the creativity here is also evident in the music video for “How Loud Is No Sound.” Shot in black and white with fragmented, dynamic transitions, this puzzle-like clip will keep your eyes glued to the screen until the very end.

What’s Synthetic Pop Music All About?

Synthetic Pop music (also called Synthpop or Electro-Pop) is the genre where, instead of using regular instruments, everything’s built with synthesizers and other electronic music tools. Think drum machines, sequencers, and sometimes even tweaking vocals to sound robotic or straight-up futuristic.

With tech booming like crazy, a lot of the time, all you need is some software to whip up melodies or even mimic those old-school analog synths that were all the rage in the ’80s. Not to mention, sound effects can now replace an entire band, or even a full orchestra.

However, the lyrics are the soul of it all. They weave a story, something real, something you can feel, and that’s what makes any song hit differently, turning it into a timeless piece that stays with you for good.

“How Loud Is No Sound” Lyrics Meaning

In general, the lyrics of “How Loud Is No Sound” revolve around that frustrating trap where you’re desperately craving some mental quiet, but when you get the silence, your brain decides to crank up the volume on all your messy thoughts instead.

It’s like finally getting everyone to shut up, only to realize the loudest voice was always coming from inside your own head. The whole thing digs into how we’re constantly battling our mistakes, current drama, and this fantasy of having a chill, zen-like mind that probably doesn’t exist.

The verses evoke that moment when peace feels impossible, whether there’s chaos around you or dead silence.

To sum up, this jam captures that exhausting cycle of wanting tranquility but finding that our own minds are the biggest obstacle to getting there. A very interesting narrative and unique in its portrayal of internal struggles, to such an extent that it transforms into a philosophical question.

My rating is 10/10.
