A cinematic synthwave ballad that merges 80s nostalgia with raw, immersive production.
Tableau Vivant – Incoming Signals: A Synthwave Power Ballad for the Digital Age
The synthwave scene welcomes a bold new voice as Tableau Vivant unveils their debut single, "Incoming Signals," featuring the powerful vocals of Teggs Boyce. This electrifying track is a cinematic power ballad, blending lush 80s-inspired synth textures, orchestral e-bow guitars, and pulsating basslines to create an emotional, immersive sound.
A Fresh Take on SynthwaveWritten and produced by Richard Gray, Incoming Signals distinguishes itself from the sleek, polished aesthetics of contemporary synthwave. Instead, Gray infuses the genre with raw intensity, drawing inspiration from alt-rock sensibilities, analog warmth, and lo-fi aesthetics. The result is a deeply atmospheric track that balances digital precision with emotional depth.
"So much of synthwave thrives on crisp production and pristine nostalgia, but I wanted to bring something more visceral and imperfect to the genre—something that felt cinematic but also deeply human." – Richard Gray
