Vaporwave

[Thiefinger]

I'm getting into experimenting with stuff. Just opening up a blank project, importing some audio and just seeing if I can make something out of it.

I think I'll be doing this a lot more in the future.

The Cure + Whitney Houston + wankery:

not really sure if this is vaporwave or whatever. Anyway it's made with that aesthetic in mind.

Dude thats brilliant! I encourage a full release with that theme (: sounds so drugged out!

the clicks all over this album are almost certainly from some max or reaktor wave scanner that isn't doing the neat fades to deal with the DC offset every time a sound plays

deliberate or not, it's a tad distracting, but the minimalism of this album is really neat, like you're channel surfing at 2am in tokyo on a drug binge

Mesh, great album right? This is some the most obscure of obscure in the genre haha... Have you seen some of the videos from this release? Theyre pretty creepy.

Thanks! I think I could pretty easily produce an EP of this stuff and I think I will.

Looks right to me...i always have an issue with youtube videos staying embedded though when i quote someone who had a yt vid in their post

[Thiefinger]

Well I spent my sunday making that EP and here it is. I think the embedded player only shows the first track here?

Shouldn't the right panel say "90s Kids Today" ?

[Lane Visitor]

agreed^

 

also downloading sunday now, theifinger

 

what a perfect time to plug my own vapey EP! it's a bit less explicitly off the genre, more just influenced by it, but see what you think. here's the first track:

This is beautiful. Gave me chills.

 

Looking forward to listening to the full Ep. (:

New Donovan track - just a rough mix...

 

North African Tribal Fusion meets New Jack Swing Noir ... also the longest Donovan track yet.

Thanks for supporting!

 

Nice track you got there. Nice sad stuff. I think you could put that under "vaporwave" or at least "vaporwavish" because the genre feels pretty diverse anyway.

 

 

I went ahead and did some non-sampled, original stuff:

 

and some heavily sampled stuff:

I like how there are different approaches in this genre. I think I prefer taking a bit more introverted emotion-based look on things. Not so much commenting on pop-culture or commercialism than using the style to conjure up a nostalgic, melancholic state of mind. Or at least trying to.

Nice stuff here too. Makes me wanna go shopping.

fkn hell man body is so sweet from the very first second. is that you singing? also wondering if you made this at normal speed then repitched after?

 

Heh, well no. The vox are from some Celine Dion acappella thing I found on youtube. Just took a bit from it that I autotuned around a bit.

 

And yeh you have the right idea there. I made like a 8 bar bit of stuff going at normal speed, then just made a mixdown of it and pitched the whole thing down like -4.

And from there on started actually making the track and adding some extra stuff.

Also using ridiculous amounts of delay, cutting the high ends and saturation make things sound nicely shitty.

Thanks brother!! Dude, your stuff is super good! That chillwavey vibe on Body is truly stellar. Nice work (:

[Lane Visitor]

I'm officially deeming consumer Camera demos videos as the latest breed of post-vaporwave :D -esp those showing wildlife over a bed of prog hard rock grooves playing in the background..
