Hollywood Burns

French Synthwave Music Project

Hollywood Burns is an electronic music project that delves into the retro-futuristic genre of synthwave, also known as outrun. The artist behind Hollywood Burns is Emeric Levardon, a French composer who has crafted a unique sound that blends cinematic scores with electronic music, heavily inspired by science fiction and horror aesthetics from the 1950s to the 1980s. Hollywood Burns first gained significant attention with the release of the album "First Contact" in 2018, which showcased a mix of dark synthwave and orchestral elements. The project is known for its thematic concept albums that often tell stories through their music and artwork, creating an immersive experience for listeners.
