Julian Croot
If you love the sound of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, you’ve found your place.
I’m Julian Croot, a classically trained pianist, composer, producer, and a lifelong fan of vintage synths and film scores.
I grew up in the 80s, inspired by legends like Giorgio Moroder and John Williams, and now I recreate iconic tracks from that era by ear, performing every part myself.
Here you’ll find:
• faithful, detailed synth recreations of classic songs
• orchestral arrangements of classic soundtracks
• live Q&As and educational videos on my technique, production and equipment.
This channel is family friendly...kindness and respect keep the music fun for everyone. Please do not use foul language in the comments.
If the music brings back memories, hit subscribe and stay awhile.
