Hi! I'm Tenn Byrne, otherwise known as RETROTENN!I'm a 20 year old artist hailing from New York, and I currently attend NYU's Tisch School of the Arts for Film and Television production, with a focus on animation and post production. I also host VOCAVERSE at WNYU, NYU’s student-run radio station.When I’m not drawing or making something in After Effects, you can typically find me playing the electric bass or hunting for deals on action figures.

VOCAVERSE ON AIR!

VOCAVERSE is WNYU's one and only vocal synth-focused show! You can listen to it on wnyu.org and 89.1FM in the NY metro area every Friday from 11:30PM - 1:00AM EST! You can find archives of previous shows below...

Additionally, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about VOCAVERSE, or have music of your own you want to submit, contact me on my WNYU email : [email protected]

My primary goal of this show is to raise the voices of independent artists and musicians who work with vocal synths and their designs - visually or musically. As a program that allows everyone to have a voice, I believe music and art made with and inspired by vocal synths is wonderful, especially as it is very much a self sustaining and supportive community. I want to continue that support with VOCAVERSE!
