Simulakrum Lab is an Italian synthwave/retrowave music project created by composer and sound designer Paolo Prevosto. Guests who collaborated in the first album "Simulakrum Lab" were:
Liz Enthusiasm who performed vocals in "Quiet Girl" and "Far Worlds".
The first album was produced and arranged by Paolo Prevosto in collaboration with the Italian electronic artist Eugene, who also performed lead vocals on many of the tracks. The music project concept uses advanced research technology with 1970s sound paradigms, inspired by electronic music pioneers such as Kraftwerk, Goblin and Moroder. The tracks are based almost exclusively on original analog synthesizers from the 70s, Moog, Korg and Doepfer, avoiding as much as possible the use of emulated computer synthesizers. The core of Simulakrum Lab is the balance between old school electronic music and groundbreaking future sound engineering. The first album also containing two songs inspired by lost cosmonauts, titled: "Lost Cosmonauts" and "Far Worlds", the lyric recounts and describes the sensations of a cosmonaut aboard his space capsule during an orbital flight. The first work made by Simulakrum Lab was the remix of the song “Special Effects” by Freezepop in 2012. Subsequently, they released the first album titled Simulakrum Lab for the A5 label in 2013. In 2015 they made the remix of the track Killing from Demons soundtrack by Claudio Simonetti for the 30th Anniversary of the movie. In the same year the track Backlit was used for the ending titles of the French movie Mantoson Biotechnology. In 2016 they released the Simulakrum Lab white vinyl published by Rustblade label. In May 2017 Simulakrum Lab aka Paolo Prevosto remixed the track "Confusion" for the Dario Argento's movie "Opera" Soundtrack 30th Anniversary composed by Claudio Simonetti released by Rustblade. The second album "Simulakrum Lab II", released in April 16th, 2019, was composed, produced and arranged by Paolo Prevosto. Guests who collaborated in the second album were:
