Sep 18, 2023 | CatSynth TV

Amanda Chaudhary of CatSynth TV shares "The Loneliest Road in America" featuring scores with GX-80, Harmonia, Octave Cat, Elka-X, Solovox, and Stardust 201 Tape Echo.

"We present Part 1 (above) of several videos covering our epic trip along US Highway 50 in Nevada, dubbed "The Loneliest Road in America". In this segment, we head west from the tiny community of Middlegate in Churchill County to the old mining town of Austin (in Lander County). Along the way we cross wide valleys and mountain passes."

"Part 2 of of several videos covering our epic trip along US Highway 50 in Nevada, dubbed "The Loneliest Road in America". In this segment, we head west the town of Austin (in Lander County) towards the two of Eureka, the eponymous county seat of Eureka County. In the wide valley west of Eureka, we encountered a major rainstorm and had to pause the video, which resumed when we got to the town."

"Part 3 of our epic journey along US Highway 50 in Nevada, dubbed "The Loneliest Road in America". This segment starts at a cool themed US 50 sign just east of Eureka and ends in the historic downtown of Ely, by far the largest town we have encountered since leaving Fallon ahead of segment 1. The music for this long drive goes back and forth between a heavy post-bop jazz style and an rhythmic ambient electronic track."

"The fourth and final segment of our journey along US 50, the "Loneliest Road in America". We pick up where we left off in Ely, Nevada and head east until we cross the border into Utah. Along the way, we pick up concurrencies with US 93 and US 6, making this final segment a little less "lonely" than the previous three."
