Synth History Zine: Issue 5

Synth History is a deeply researched, beautifully printed zine dedicated to the instruments, innovators, and ideas that shaped electronic music. Each issue pulls back the curtain on synthesizers and the artists who use them as an integral part of the creative process. This Zine blends long-form interviews, thoughtful storytelling, and striking photography. What we love most is its sense of reverence without nostalgia-for-nostalgia’s-sake. Synth History connects pioneering voices with modern creators, tracing how sounds evolve, scenes overlap, and technology becomes culture. It’s informed, obsessive, and unapologetically Analog in spirit, just like us. Published independently and produced by a small team of synth devotees (originally launched from California), Synth History is a must-have for anyone who cares about electronic music beyond presets and plugins.
