PhotoSynthesizers Richmond, Va PhotoSynthesizers, aka The Ropes-Of- Dope, is a Hip-Hop Rock Duo out of Richmond, Va. The group consists of its co-founding members, Maurice "Barzencode" Osion (lyricist) and Josh Bryant (producer). Barz and Bryant's art alliance, rhyme-rock hybrid, was formed when the two met through a local publication in the group's hometown. Though Barz and Bryant are instrumental to the synthesizers' sound, the duo in the past have accompanied themselves with a family of musicians for their live shows. Barz multilayered rhyme schemes with Bryant's hard-hitting production of 808's, guitars, and synthesizers are a double helix of Hip-Hop and Rock swinging perfect timing to jumping into other musical genres that have formed their signature sound. On Friday, January 15, 2021, the group will follow up their first 2020 LP, Apollogy, by dropping a series of short stories through music and video scaling up to their new project, The World's Fair. The first of these releases is " Ants In The Antennas, " a story about the groups' musical journey about the smallest being the strongest, often revered but not remembered. The entire project, The World's Fair, was conceptualized during the midst of COVID when the group was no longer able to produce and rehearse music in person and rely on file-sharing. The album's title is also a tribute to the history of The Worlds International Expos, a variety of worldwide exhibitions showcasing the achievements and the cultural advances of societies through arts, science, and technology. And within two global pandemics of COVID and the ongoing systematic racial injustices against black and brown people that have impacted the globe, we can only ask ourselves, what will be our advances to contribute towards a better future? For The Ropes-Of-Dope Duo, it starts with "The Ants In The Antennas."
