A-Ha
a-ha are a Norwegian new wave/synth-pop band. The trio, composed of lead vocalist Morten Harket, guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy and keyboardist Magne Furuholmen, formed in 1982 and left Oslo, Norway for London in order to make a career in the music business. The origin of the name a-ha comes from the lyric of an early song. After checking dictionaries in several languages, they found out that 'a-ha' was an international way of expressing recognition, with positive connotations. It was short, a-ha was easy to say and somewhat unusual.

Stay In Or Stay Out
For his latest album, "New Techniques To Escape Mediocrity Vol.1", the New Wave-inspired Synthwave producer David Garelli, aka Batta Malagna, draws on the musical language developed by the New Wave of composers such as Diaframma, Litfiba The Smiths and Joy Division. Inspired by the mediocrity of his country, by the non-existent opportunities and by the dating apps where the more superficial and flashy side of his peers and others comes out, Batta's work on New Techniques delves deeply into the cinematographic films of the 80s. In a certain sense, the relationship between New Wave and cinema was predestined. Both mediums arose in the late 19th century, and both continued to exert enormous influence on popular culture, art, and intellectual life throughout the 20th. Inevitably, the two mediums would meet in a collision facilitated by both popular tastes and technological innovation. Early films were rudimentary, single-shot experiments without color or sound, and early cinematic depictions of musicians and New Wave as an art form lacked complexity, limited to documentary-style depictions of their performances. Soundtracks introduced the producer into the creative process, transforming the musician from subject to agent. As the true champion/archivist of sound that he is, Battamore
