Vaporwave

[Lane Visitor]

or actually it may be fun like you guys were saying to keep it secretive that its us... like an alter ego..

 

Ryan Jones or something super generic lol

 

or even weirdly specific like McKenzie Chopra

[QBLA]

By secretive, do you mean using different alias? I'm down with that.

[sheatheman]

we should make up one alias and use that for every track. embrace anon

[QBLA]

where should we talk about this? PMs? or just here?

[Cryptowen]

with the amount of audio aspergers i've added to this thread i feel almost obligated to take part in this

[Lane Visitor]

we should make up one alias and use that for every track. embrace anon

 

 

totally down!

[sheatheman]

We should talk about this in PMs

[joshuatxuk]

I spoke with Donovan Hikaru.. and he's totally down to do a track for this, sounds super fun!

 

note: his will be original as he doesn't sample (although his very rare "Donovan Hikaru San Francisco Office" alias will sample once in a blue moon)

 

.. if that's ok? or does it all need to be plunderphonics?

 

 

One more thought for 12/24hrs from me (commute then night classes then sleep after this post)...

 

I figure we set this up as a compilation akin to, I dunno a Pure Moods or new age or ripoff 90s dance music release. I'd be like, self-self-self-aware. Someone could type a cheesy corporate spammy intro about how these are the "next big vaporwave artists"

 

I'd help prevent "ripoff" decorators (I think) and enhance the premise overall of the music featured - people who already like vaporwave should like it then, right?

sounds good to me, it might be funny to do it all as the same artist like a fake 80s quasi new-age corporate guy but we all make the songs for it (sort of like the opposite of the EDM compilations by jodey kendrick) , the kit-list would also be important as it needs A LOT of bad romplers and shitty late 80s digital synths

 

 

hahahaha yes!

 

Sampling versus original is irrelevant to me. I don't want this to be too limiting on the music end, but aesthetically consistent. By that I mean mostly 90s (late 80s to early 00s) muzak and smooth jazz, effective audio manipulation or arrangements, throwaway corporate visuals of vaporware and flash-in-the-pan tech. John, I think that idea of same name for the album, but with different producers (using same kits too) is great and clever, but a bit restrictive and too anonymous. Also, I think we could maintain a degree of individuality by having the "compilation" concept, so we don't all become too constricted style wise (I'll explain this in detail later)

 

I had in mind this being an intro for some of us already making music (like Donovan Hikaru) BUT everyone seems down with new, one-off aliases so that seems like a good template. Hell, I'd make a discogs for this thing and link to other existing projects eventually anyway. I dunno, this is something to agree on - I don't want some bolshevik/menshevik split within vaporwave ideology

I'll compile a list of users from this thread and get the pms going by this afternoon. I think everyone who has been conversing from the start is still around (nopomo kind of disappeared though). There's enough of us here on this thread to make a comp, so I agree we should make it secretive between us. (That said, I also received an email from coolsville overnight ) By default I figured Jasondonervan could do the cover art...would you?

I wrote a pretty long outline but I'll save it for the pm. Also, is there a good alternative to pms on watmm for us to talk/collaborate?

some good proto-vaporwave fodder i found in my tape crate-digging, can't wait to play with pitch control with this:

 

[sheatheman]

Oh, this is very good. I hum/whistle that stuff all the time.

 

There was this place by my old house called Enjoy

 

The owner, Cinda, knew what the vibe of a small cafe was supposed to be. She had all these Malcom X books on the shelves (large black population there), and she knew all about Solo Jazz. Her food was a slightly better, more spritzerized version of the food from the Seinfeld restaurant. She played the real music too.
