about

How on Earth do I explain this one?

To keep a long story short: I dabbled in vaporwave over the past few months by playing with some songs that hold some odd nostalgic value for me. Nothing too serious, and it was fun chopping these up and messing with them. Wanted to retain the original melodies I liked, but play with them in a way that kind of suggests (among other things) taping over the video from "Ringu" with kids TV. Also decided to be a bit tongue-in-cheek about it all and employed some vaporwave cliches when naming these tracks. Use of Japanese text, wide text, you know the deal. Two of these cuts were initially set to be SoundCloud exclusives, but that sounds kind of silly, doesn't it?

Thought I'd drop this in the meantime while work on other projects continues. Hope you find something of worth in these little experiments.

Fun fact about the cover art: the original photograph shows steam bellowing from a nuclear power plant off in the distance.

Windows96 cranked out what is easily one of my favorite vaporwave records in recent memory, drenched in a chill aura with infectious synth lines. Jacob Calta

Winter's Veil

An incredibly lush project that takes you into a snowy world. ByteMapper has shown a mastery over conjuring up a distinct & effective atmosphere. Jacob Calta

Method to the Madness
by Levinsky

A quick masterclass in minor-key darksynth theatrics, with a strong bottom end and the demeanor of composers for 80s horror like Claudio Simonetti & John Harrison. Jacob Calta

I’ve always loved the funky side of Alpha. But the dark, wonderfully creepy ballads shine on this album! Tracks like Snuff ‘Em Out (my fav thx to a vid Alpha shared last month), Veins or Meat Ribbons are amazing. Synthwave sounds stale to me lately because of similar sound, omnipresent arpeggiators, weak melodies and basic harmonic structure, but Alpha’s unusual chord progressions as well as comparatively exotic melodies entertain me. I’ll be returning to this EP a lot; happy for the cas Tichounko
