Synth Prog

Synth prog is a subgenre of progressive rock characterized by its prominent use of synthesizers, keyboards, and electronic textures. Emerging in the late 1960s and flourishing throughout the 1970s, synth prog combines intricate instrumental passages, complex rhythms, and conceptual themes, often with a strong emphasis on atmospheric soundscapes and cinematic storytelling. This genre drew from classical music, jazz, and electronic music, incorporating iconic analog synthesizers like the Moog and Hammond. Synth prog's cultural significance lies in its innovative blend of technology and artistry, mirroring the futuristic and experimental spirit of its era. Distinct from other prog rock styles, synth prog's reliance on keyboards and electronics sets it apart, with artists often pushing the boundaries of sound design and musical composition. Its influence can be seen in later genres like new age, ambient, and electronic music.
