Cyberpunk Score

Cyberpunk Score is electronic music for neon cities, machine bodies, surveillance, hackers, corporate violence, and artificial life. It favors analog synths, industrial drums, digital distortion, darkwave pressure, future-retro melodies, and low mechanical pulses. It can be lush and noir like `Blade Runner`, clubby like game soundtracks, or punishing and industrial when the story turns dystopian.

Vangelis' `Blade Runner`, Wendy Carlos' `TRON`, and John Carpenter's synth-score minimalism set the template. Later Daft Punk, Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, Perturbator, Power Glove, Carpenter Brut, Mega Drive, Daniel Deluxe, HEALTH, Akira Yamaoka, Paul Leonard-Morgan, Cliff Martinez, and cyberpunk game composers expanded it into synthwave, darksynth, industrial, and game-score scenes. The sound now works as both soundtrack language and standalone club/playlist identity.
