Biography

Betamaxx is an 80’s synth revival project by Nick Morey, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The project was formed in mid 2012 with the release of the “Lost Formats” LP in late September of that year. 
 The name “Betamaxx” was contrived from Sony’s “Betamax” movie player which rivaled VHS in the early-mid 80’s. Betamaxx’s sound is inspired and created with a use of a wide variety of analog and digital hardware synths from the 80’s and today including the Roland Juno-60, Sequential Circuits Prophet-6 and Ensoniq ESQ-1. 
 Betamaxx focuses on a multi genre approach to writing, with influences such as The Cure, Tangerine Dream, Boards of Canada, and John Carpenter. He has been featured on such works as the “Kung Fury” original movie soundtrack, and the Amazon prime series “Red Oaks”.
