Upload your audio and Tunee generates Synthwave-style music videos with retro 80s grid — no design tools, no rendering software needed.
Single frames pulled from AI-generated music videos — a glimpse of the Synthwave visual style Tunee creates from your audio, no camera or crew needed.
Synthwave is the one genre with its visual identity baked in. Born from the 2010s obsession with 1980s sci-fi and neon-drenched nostalgia — Drive, Stranger Things, Hotline Miami — its aesthetic is more codified than the music itself. The non-negotiables: deep purple-to-magenta gradients, retro grid horizons receding into vapor, palm-tree silhouettes against gradient sunsets, chrome cars, lightning-cracked skies. If the viewer doesn't feel the warm hum of an analog VHS within three seconds, something is off.
When directors brief synthwave MVs they cite the same touchstones: The Midnight's Sunset, FM-84's Outatime, Carpenter Brut's live visuals, the Kung Fury short film. The thread isn't the artist — it's the frame language: wide horizons, slow zoom on receding grid lines, character silhouettes never lit full, type set in chrome with a subtle bevel. Tunee's synthwave model is trained on this exact vocabulary, so prompts like 'analog VHS scan-lines over a neon city skyline' land where directors would point a real camera crew.
Don't fight synthwave's clichés — lean in. Specify the layer order: foreground subject (artist, car, palm tree), middle ground (neon grid or sunset), background (cracked-purple sky with distant lightning). Pair colors explicitly: 'magenta and cyan, no warm tones'. Then add one anachronism that breaks the spell — a crashed satellite, a glitching billboard — to keep the loop interesting beyond the first chorus. The result reads as composed, not generated.
No editing software, no camera crew. Just your music and a prompt.
Each prompt is crafted for Synthwave aesthetics. Paste into Tunee, hit generate — your synthwave music video is ready in seconds.
Sports car driving through retro 80s neon grid landscape at sunset, pink and purple sky, VHS scan lines overlay. Wide establishing shot, slow push-in. Nostalgic lighting — golden edges, deep contrast centre. Retro 80s grid fills the background. Beat drop triggers a hard cut to a new angle.
Split-screen: performance left, abstract neon sunset right. Both react to the same beat. Cinematic palette. Merge into full-frame at the final chorus.
Zero-gravity: retro 80s grid drifts and collides in cool slow motion. Each snare triggers a burst of palm tree silhouette. Final bar: everything collapses into a beam of light.
