Zane Marlowe’s trumpet is a time machine. Fusing analog synths, lo-fi drums, and wistful melodies, he creates pop anthems that sound like love letters from another decade. His style is equal parts neon nostalgia and indie grit.
Originally trained as a jazz soloist, Zane found new creative freedom in 80s-style arrangements. His trumpet lines often echo guitar riffs or vocal hooks, adding layers of emotional intensity. With a soft spot for cinematic drama, he builds sonic landscapes that shimmer with reverb and memory.
His album Forever Arcade features synth trumpet solos over retro drum machines and lush pads. It’s music for rainy nights, midnight drives, and high-school heartbreaks.
Zane teaches trumpet like a storyteller—helping students craft emotional arcs, hooks, and dramatic phrasing. He believes every solo should leave the audience with a scene in their mind.
