  2. Well this is all great. I've loved AFX since I was a teen in the late 90s and have never quite hit the fanboi levels of some on here as I was always more of an AE guy. But then something like this comes along and of course I'm a rabid fan and completist.

     

    There's some really great stuff in here, particularly the new Tuss tracks. The live Analord jam is amazing too. I'm realizing Analord-Tuss is my favorite era of his and I hope there's many more quality tracks from this era.

     

    If anyone out there is listening, I would kill for a late 90s/early 2000s unreleased Autechre archive.

  3.  

    All of Tri Repetae at a Fifth Element themed yacht party I crashed in NYC. Beat that.

    Pics or GTFO

     

     

    I wasn't dressed up or in any of these pics but proof that this did actually happen. You know it's legit when the NY Post gets in there. And they for real played Tri Rep during the cocktail hour.

    Just finished up my latest series Natural Selection with all the footage from BBC Earth.

     

    For the third and final part "Majestic Planet" I finally tried my hand at making something beautiful, which is strangely harder than making something dark and weird. Set it to Beethoven's 7th, one of those songs that gives me goosebumps every time.

    Also, the 2nd installment Mutant Planet got taken down due to a copyright complaint, so I've uploaded the whole 3 piece suite as a whole on Youtube.

     

     

    It was fun to try something completely different with this project, it was a fun little experiment. Hope you guys enjoy!

    BBC should hire you guys asap, IMO.

     

     

    I think I'm gonna send it to them in hopes they use it for promotion instead of asking to take it down. I made it out of love for them and it's a pretty fucking great trailer for BBC Earth.

  7. Somebody pls fix thred title to AZD for the OCD cru

     

    Also for the sleppyheads dese are the traxx that came out recently on super limited cassette (lol) and digital vinlys, under ridiculous pseudonyms presumably none other than himself. Here u decide (I think so). Uber spliff is the bizness.

     

     

     

    Woah thanks, totally missed these.

    Hauntology is what got me into vaporwave in the first place and TBH I feel quite indifferent to a lot of vaporwave now because I don't have a personal interest or connection to a lot of it. In my definition of vaporwave - that hazy future past vibe of late 80s / early 90s music and media that was trashed and forgotten, artists like 1991 or Torn Hawk are FAR more vaporwave in tone and scope than many artists now but not "vaporwave" either in recognition or self-description.

     

    It's a very diverse and broad genre/scene now and that's good (dream catalogue as a label, various interesting subgenres), bad (shitty memes, overshadowing and diminished value of original themes and aesthetics), and ugly (people literally labeling anything retro vaporwave without any proper and warranted backlash)

     

    EDIT - I say this all as someone not involved in the scene at all, so i don't mean to shit on the state of vaporwave or even that thing posted earlier. "i get but i don't really like it" is kind of my stance, at it's harshest

     

     

    Agreed, I was always really into the hauntology aspect of it as well. Before vaporwave was an established genre name I tried to put all the music that gave me that feeling into my second VJ mix Memorex, which I worked on throughout all of 2012. That kind of alternate reality, nostalgia is clouding your memory of the actual 80s feeling.

     

    It might not "technically" be vaporwave but a lot of people were definitely feeling the same vibe in 2010-2011.

    ^ that last one is an example to me of how vaporwave can capture pure beauty and emotion in a single moment--by how what you said, kind of stretching out a euphoric passage into infinity and meditating on a repetitive version of it. .... Look at the how the emotion on her face changes--but in slo mo and with that music, you almost feel like you're there with her, or you're her. This is kind of a prime example for me of why vaporwave is just highlighting the beauty, absurdity, terror, sexyness, and drugged out bliss of audio from the dusty bins of a haunted past. It's just effective. And when you wrap a story around it, a concept, a full release, it's just that much more potent.   

     

     

    lol, I used that same track for a Christmas vaporwave joke a couple years back

     

  10. Just finished another installment of Natural Selection entitled "Mutant Planet".

     

    This is without a doubt the scariest thing I've ever made. All of earth's most alien and horrible creatures in 7 minutes. I combed through dozens of hours of nature documentary footage to highlight the most terrifying animals on the planet and set it to the very creepy Under The Skin soundtrack.

  11. Val Kilmer gets the call asking him to do this. He stares theough the window out over the palm trees. "Wait, wasn't I batman once?"

     

    "Hello, Val? Are you there?"

     

    Val [to himself]: "yeah, I was literally batman in the 90s. Fucking batman. Wtf happened to me?"

     

    "Yeah, tell Daniel I'll do it."

    lol, alco redeems this pretentious mess of a video. Too bad, this was my favorite track from last year, was pumped when I heard Kilmer was involved. But wtf, this is pretentious, boring, and as a video editor LAZY
