You can glean a certain careful trepidation present in many of the latest by the elder (statesmen). Yes, you are correct they seem to be afraid. For instance, Ryuichi Sakamoto doesn't behave like a person who is scared, though he does probably go towards this direction thanks to the shadow of his cancer diagnosis, his fear does make sense. However, one also hears an incredible optimism in his late style. While he would agree the world is in a state of disarray, he tries to locate a semblance of hope. When he does the latter, he puts that up front. I mean, async might be for me one of his brightest LPs. Listen to the cut on the link – is he talking to Ramona Andra Xavier about him being the originator of vaporwave? The music on the song does point there.

Secret Mall – Delorean ’81 [Synthwave, Indie, Easy Listening] Участники американского квартета Secret Mall широко смотрят на современную музыку и вдохновение для собственных записей находят как в треках vaporwave артистов Ramona Andra Xavier (Macintosh Plus/Vektroid), Ryan DeRobertis (Saint Pepsi/ Skylar Spence), и Randy Goffee (HOME), так и в пластинках progressive rock или electronic jazz. Недавно нашел на youtube их трек "Delorean '81", посвященный понятно какому автомобилю и с огромным удовольствием коротаю под него теплые летние ночи.

MACマイナス ‎– Updated Floral Experience

MACマイナス oder auch (Mac Minus) ist ein Tribute Projekt zu Ramona Andra Xavier’s (aka Macintosh Plus) Kultalbum der Vaporwave-Szene ‘Floral Shoppe’. Und das gibt es jetzt auf Vinyl.

11.04.2020

Trifft für mich durchaus den Vibe des Originals 🔥

Es gibt jetzt Leute die dem Braten nicht trauen und vermuten das Label Tracking Waves wäre nicht zuverlässig was das tatsächliche Verschicke der Vinyls angeht. Es könnte also gut sein, dass sich die ‘Floral Shoppe-Story’ wiederholt. 😹

1. Coloquei na lista mesmo sendo uma banda bem famosa já, pois ela é menosprezada e os singles não traduzem a arte de se conhecer os álbuns.

2. O nome da banda é simplesmente Ludo e por causa do nome que eu conheci, por ser quase meu nick do Twitter e tal, mas gostei muito e por isso está na lista, pois na lista só estão bandas que eu de fato conheço, no sentido de ouvir e aprovar mesmo. Coloquei a notinha só de curiosidade e também pra dizer que se você digitar Ludo Rock, encontra fácil, ok? Coincidências acontecem, assim como há o canal Luba TV e uma cantora já falecida chamada Luba.

Notinhas:

♦ De todas da minha lista, acredito que só é difícil encontrar algo sobre Astronautas, que é uma banda também foda. Não confundam com outras bandas de nomes do tipo. A banda Astronautas que me refiro é brasileira e sim, o nome é simplesmente assim: Astronautas. É uma banda aqui de Pernambuco e revoltante que não estejam mais na ativa.

♣ Apesar de Dorgas não estar na ativa desde de 2011, ou algo assim, eles tem outros projetos que valem ser tão conferidos quanto.

♠ Caso não encontrem de cara, saiba que o nome do vocalista da banda D é Asagi. Saibam também que aparece muita coisa da banda ao digitar D Blood Relation e saibam que são encontradas várias coisas, entre outras lojas, as da Discogs e CDJapan. Eu acrescento que só recomendo arriscar CDJapan quando não encontrar em outro lugar. Ainda não comprei lá. Já no CDJapan, começo a comprar, agora que comprei meu armário/guarda-roupa e tal. Daqui pra janeiro, CDJapan, me aguardade. Eu postarei no meu canal duplo no YouTube. Fiquem ligados!

Ramona Andra Xavier's multitude of musical projects somehow share a set of rules within one another as we have seen. For instance, one album's title can become a moniker for her outfit. To give you another example, PrismCorp Virtual Enterprises contain two words she uses a lot, i.e. prism and virtual. Both of them deal with an illusion, which she connects with her subtle criticism of capitalism.  She seems to cherish every sonic opportunity to remind us of the fake nature of the system she doesn't have any respect for. Thus, her MIDI pieces for PrismCorp Virtual Enterprises, the latter contains some of her chintziest music. resemble a soundtrack for fictional video games, but the generic titles of the songs do tell a completely different.

Floral Shoppe by Macintosh Plus

Under the name Macintosh Plus, electronic musician Vektroid (real name Ramona Andra Xavier) released the album Floral Shoppe in 2011. It was one of the first albums to be part of the Vaporwave movement. It’s the most well-known album and often seen as the defining album of the genre. [1]

The song _リサフランク420 / _現代のコンピュー  (known in English as Lisa Frank 420 / Modern Computing) has become the most well known Vaporwave song. The song has about 40 million views on Youtube before the video was taken down on April 27, 2018 . [2]

The track _リサフランク420 / __現代のコンピュー _samples the Diana Ross song Make Your Move. Vektroid remixed the song by slowing it down and chopping the track. Vektroid remade an almost forgotten elevator type track into a classic.[3]

Even today the song リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー continues to inspire Vaporwave artists. In March 2018 artist Lisa Hank 420 released two tracks inspired by リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー called POWDER SHOPPE (Makkintosshu konpyūtingu) feat. DJ FUCKHEAD and NECKO家庭持ちの男性_ FROM FLOWER STORE BY HANKINTOSH PLUS [JAPANESE LETTERS]_. [4] Both tracks explicitly use the tune of _リサフランク420 / __現代のコンピュー _while parodying the legendary status the song receives.

The album art for Floral Shoppe has also inspired a lot of the Vaporwave genre. The art features a marble bust of the Greek god Helios.[5] In addition, the album art also features a checkerboard pattern and retro looking city skyline.

Listening to the album is an almost surreal experience. All the tracks sound like something you’ve heard before but can’t quite put your tongue on.

Ramona Andra Xavier deserves some attention...

[nichemusicexploration-blog]

Genre of the Week: V A P O R W A V E

Welcome back, folks, this week we’ll be chatting about V A P O R W A V E.

From here on out I’ll be typing out vaporwave in the normal fashion (as it’s significantly easier to do it this way), but the strange, spaced-out method (which is actually called fullwidth) of typing is a huge facet of vaporwave, as it’s a largely aesthetics-based genre. Originating in the 2010′s, it sits at the juncture between pure meme and actual artistic medium. Vaporwave uses a combination of 80′s and 90′s computer sounds, elevator music, and lounge music to create an often slowed down sound experience. It’s often paired with bizzare, surreally paired images from the computers of 80′s and 90′s. A lot of vaporwave is a sort of satirical take on consumerism, both evoking nostalgia and mocking the place it takes it’s roots from, but most of the time it stays vague. Vaporwave led to a proliferation of other, equally weird genres, like chillwave and seapunk. Vaporwave is largely enigmatic, but since a huge amount of memes have come out of vaporwave (to the point of vaporwave being a meme itself at this point) it’s worth the look just to figure out what those darn kids are talking about these days with their hover boards and vapor waves.

Side Note! I just wanted to mention simpsonwave, which is one of the weird offshoots of vaporwave I mentioned. Simpsonwave mashes up edited visuals from the Simpsons (often giving them VHS-esque filters and altering backgrounds or glitch effects) and pairing them with vaporwave music. Here’s a simpsonswave video featuring music by Blank Banshee (who we’ll be talking about some more). At the very least the video will give you a good idea of the aesthetics that vaporwave employs, if you feel so inclined to look into that particular rabbit hole.

Now! On to the artists.

1. JAMES FERRARO

New Yorker James Ferraro started making music around 2004, making him one of the original vaporwave artists. Originally he was part of the group the Skaters, but he’s really shined in his subsequent solo work and he’s still making music currently. His albums are largely conceptual, often to the point (as is by and large the case with vaporwave) of being almost off-putting in their scope, but it’s more than possible to enjoy his music while ignoring the more ambiguous parts of vaporwave.

The song Global Lunch is bright and friendly, a little faster paced than most vaporwave, and it’s accented with electronic twangs. It’s a cute little song, ending with the sound that skype makes when you’re clicking to shut down, which I warn you about ahead of time so you don’t worry that you’ve accidentally shut your skype off.

2. 2 8 1 4

2 1 8 4 is a British collective group between t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 and HKE. Starting in 2014, they’ve since released three albums. It’s been argued since 2 1 8 4 is more a creative group than a sampling group, that they’re not “true vaporwave,” but considering both that this seems a natural transition for the genre and the ridiculousness of claiming something isn’t part of a genre that exists mostly because of memes because it’s more original it’s sort of a moot point.

Eyes of the Temple, off of the album Rain Temple (their most recent release) is slow and builds slowly, but never really hits a beat drop of any kind; it just keeps reaching further and further, creating a multi-layered sound before slowly fading back into quiet.

3. ST. PEPSI/SKYLAR SPENCE

Skylar Spence of Brooklyn, NY, switched his stage name from St. Pepsi a while back (around 2014 to be specific) as he sort of moved away from vaporwave, but his early work held strong to the slowed down samples from the 80′s and 90′s that the genre originated from. He started creating music back in 2012 and as Skylar Spence is still making music.

I include a link to the music video for Better, if it can be called that (it’s a surreal looping gif that stacks upon itself), since the aesthetics are very vaporwave but the song itself is another fun one: pop-ey with a strong funk base. It’s worth a listen, even if it’s just an “ironic” one.

4. BLANK BANSHEE

Perhaps the most meme-driven artist so far, the image on the cover of Blank Banshee’s first album (pictured above) become it’s own meme for a time. But Blank Banshee stands out in it’s more experimental sound, as Banshee’s music is genuinely very good. Banshee, a Canadian, released their first album in 2012 and their latest album was released in 2016. If you have a minute I’d recommend clicking around Banshee’s website, as it’s an experience all of it’s own.

Blank Banshee’s song Dreamcast,  is haunting, with a deep, sweeping base sound. The distorted vocals layer and loop at times. It’s spellbinding and vaporwave at its some of it’s less accessible but it’s also some of the best of the genre.

5: DEEP DIVE: Vektroid

Vektroid, who online is occasionally referred to as the originator of vaporwave, started making music in 2005 and has been ever since, with a new release due this very month. She’s released music as Vektroid but occasionally uses psuedonyms which have included dstnt, Laserdisc Visions, New Dreams Ltd., Macintosh Plus, Virtual Information Desk, and PrismCorp Virtual Enterprises, all of which give you a good idea of what kind of sound Vektroid will be offering here.

Operating out of Portland, Vektroid’s real name is Ramona Andra Xavier, and music from her album Floral Shoppe features as the example on the wikipedia page for vaporwave, which is fitting for the proclaimed originator of the genre. Vektroid is prolific in her work, with over 40 releases under her usual stage name among some of the others we’ve listed.

The song リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー (which translates to Lisa Frank 420/ modern computer, in case you’re wondering) which she released as Macintosh Plus, is slow and sweeping. It’s borderline elevator music but the strange glitches and alterations she’s made to it make it almost unsettling while still being listenable. Vaporwave often feels like more of an experience than music sometimes, and this definitely rides a weird line. It doesn’t get more vaporwave than this.

I’ll close us out with Neo Cali, a beat-heavy and spiraling song that fluctuates and grows upon itself. More relaxing than Lisa Frank 420, it’s slow and thoughtful, and a nice closing of our thought here today.

Well, that’ll do us for this week. Hope you enjoyed V A P O R W A V E, or at least feel like you can reference a meme better now. See you again next week!

Livro de Artista e V A P O R W V E

V a p o r w a v e é um movimento artístico e musical que cresceu substancialmente desde que nasceu em 2010 até a sua morte em 2016, quando o canal de televisão MTV se apropriou das suas  A S T H E T I C S.

Isto teve as consequências de o movimento ser entendido de uma maneira completamente contraria á sua imagem e ideais principais de anti consumismo, sociedade, autodestruição e nostalgia, ou melhor: "é uma rebelião contra o exuberante e incontrolado capitalismo, particularmente na sua abordagem da nostalgia".

V a p o r w a v e (escrito assim idealmente) é uma arte nascida da essência da internet. Junta elementos dos anos 80 e 90 com interferência da televisão, esculturas neoclássicas, coisas japonesas ou coreanas, neon, coisas de Miami, como palmeiras e praias, gifs de animes dos anos 90 em replay automatico, solidão, o dia-a-dia, nostalgia, e basicamente tudo o que se quiser dentro dos parâmetros pacíficos e tristes que prevalecem na música.

Em termos de música especificamente é mais uma mistura de sampling (ilegal antes da internet ter perdido o controlo) música de elevador ou de wallmart, relatos de jornalistas ou de rádio, vozes de raparigas japonesas a rir ou a chorar ou a fazer outro som qualquer, jazz, chill out grooves preferencialmente de 1970’s a 1990’s, vocals opcionais, um baixo groovie, samples repetidas sistematicamente, raramente são adicionados sons originais do mixer (ou deveria chamar m u s i c o). E a maioria destas musicas são criadas em programas gratis como no audacity.

A arte e a música produzem assim a celebrada A S T H E T I C.

V A P O R W A V E na verdade não morreu, exatamente, ainda existe v a p o r w a v e puro feito por quem o percebe. É agora usado em vestuário, e design de tudo e mais alguma coisa (ou pelo menos inspirado).

Um dos grandes e mais importantes aspetos deste movimento é o roubo de coisas já criadas para criar outra coisa. O que obriga os artistas a usar Pseudónimos para identificar as obras, como é o caso de Ramona Andra Xavier possuidora de grandes pseudónimos como Macintosh Plus, New Dreams Ltd, PrismCorp Virtual Enterprises, Laserdisc Visions, 情報デスクVIRTUAL, dstnt entre muitos mais. sendo o meu cherry cola. No meu trabalho tentei incorporar várias facetas de v a p o r w a v e como seapunk e sinthwave , elementos de gosto pessoal, e franchises que gosto ou simplesmente de imagens que me fazem sentir nostálgica, triste ou num mundo de fantasia japonês. Enquanto construia as imagens no photoshop ouvia simpsonswave, Ｓ o ｕ n ｄ Ｓ t ａ t ｉ o ｎ , Kurdtbada, e E m o t i o n a l T o k y o Os elementos que mais prevalecem são as a s t h e t i c s de animes dos anos 90 e 80 e de s a d b o y s.

Na construção do livro aprendi a coser páginas e trabalhei o meu a s t h e t i c pessoal.
