Biography

Synthetik FM is the alias of Bobby Clark, a musician from Knoxville, Tennessee, who draws inspiration from the synthpop stylings of 80's groups like Erasure, Depeche Mode, the Human League, and New Order, and the ambient electronic soundscapes of Vangelis, Enigma, Enya, and Jean Michel Jarre. Bobby has been composing music as a hobby for about 14 years now. It all started with very humble beginnings, in 1988, with a few jam sessions with his friend Timothy Cabbage, involving a Casio SK-1, Yamaha DX-100, Yamaha PSS-470, and two tape cassette recorders. Throughout the years, the equipment improved, and so did the recording techniques. In 2000, with the acquisition of a Philips CD recorder and a laptop provided by his fiancee (*smile*) the quality of the recordings improved, and the CD "2000 B.C." (now out of print, and released under the project name B.C.) was released on mp3.com Bobby's discovery of the mp3.com portal proved to be of paramount importance. A chance search for "Bands which sound like Erasure" proved to be very informative, and proved to be a real inspiration. A direct result was the launching of Synthpopalooza Radio, an online radio station dedicated to playing the best of the Modern Synthpop genre. It also led to the formation of the Synthetik FM project. Currently, these bands have been remixed by Synthetik FM: Red Flag, Empire State Human, NURVIS, Blind Before Dawn, Freezepop, Wave in Head, Chalk Circle, Entropy 64, Plastic Orgasm People, Spray, Venus Hum, and Seven Words.
