Derelict Megatower, death’s dynamic shroud.wmv (2014)

A grand edifice of music history, each of the Derelict Megatower’s 84 tracks like an excursion, like a scene within a hollow but richly storied structure. From a lift shaft to a basement car park, eerie empty floors to a blustery rooftop deck, Derelict Megatower intends to engulf and overwhelm, but also to treat and indulge.

While death’s dynamic shroud is, as a project, a trio of musicians who swap in and out as they please, Derelict Megatower is just James Webster – and that, in many ways, makes it even more impressive. Over four hours, Webster crafts music that spans huge stylistic gulfs, from the harsh, danceable and witty to the beautiful, haunting and serene. Masterful on the level of both its individual tracks and overall concept, Megatower feels like a rather special experience and a pinnacle for its specific kind of vaporwave.

Pick: ‘Machine Angel (Part One)’

A musical tower of babel. Amazing in conception, but exhausting in execution. Feel free to ignore me.

DERELICTメガタワー

DERELICT MEGATOWER (DM4) is a 4 hour long NUWRLD mixtape of mostly video game music. The idea was to tell a grand narrative via the methods I had used to make my previous mixes as death’s dynamic shroud.wmv (esp. #NUWRLDの気持ち). The majority of the mixtape is comprised of small sections from these video game tracks looped, recorded onto analog tape, and then sent back into the computer for various processing. I used a tape deck and an old TASCAM cassette 4-track, the combination of which allows for what I refer to as “tape ghosts” - or strange pitched/reversed pieces of other recordings that I mixed into the tape dumps in real time. Some tracks are entirely made from these ghosts, almost all the tracks feature them in some way.

The idea was to treat video game music similarly to the treatment of old LPs in Haunted Ballroom releases, with an emphasis on the ‘mixtape aesthetic’ (abrupt start/stops, disjointed bits between tracks, etc). Pieces of chord progressions and melodies that were particularly moving to me were re-contextualized to tell its post-dystopian story.

Recently I posted the entire list of sample sources in a nested YouTube comment, thinking it might be fun to have it out there for people to discover. The person I responded to has since deleted my comment and started posting on different videos. It was never my intention to give one vaporkid the keys to the kingdom, so here it is!

Most of the music was recorded onto tape in large passes, so there are almost no files for the tracks and some of the sources have been lost to me. I’ve done the best I can to reconstruct the list here.
