/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

>implying anyone who has a gf listens to slowed down 80s shit

So, Vaporwave is just background/elevator music? Isn't that just light jazz/cafe jazz?

>>49166678
that's the source material a lot of the time, but depending on the artist, that can be maintained in some cases or distorted beyond recognition in others.

Revisited Timid Orpheus today. Still shit.

The only good vapor album was Far Side Virtual because samples were only uses sporadically, not as a basis or a clutch. Made it more personal than the crap that's just le audacity slowed down.

>>49166902
i think that's one thing FSV does really well. the samples are taken from all over the place, and mixed in a way that almost teases you to remember where they're from. the one that samples the wii menu bgm is a personal favorite

>>49166678
It's chopped and screwed elevator music

>>49166948
>rap music is just someone talking
>playing guitar is just plucking strings

does anyone know any visual artists/websites that fit the corporate, lo-fi/hi-fi vaporwave aesthetic?

you know, like if james ferraro or internet club designed a website. that sort of thing

>>49167203
http://www.sandals.com/
stick with the classics

>>49167034
Fine, it's chopped and screwed elevator music + Windows 98 sounds

>>49167363

i don't mean ACTUAL corporate websites, i mean websites made to look corporate.

like the pc music minisites for the singles and eps released

>>49167744
this is what vaporwavers actually believe

>>49167429
if you are just trying to be dismissive, nobody is forcing you to be here. if you're curious about hearing more of what the genre has to offer, then by all means, stick around!

a good way to get a sense of the type of variety across different artists is through compilations. here's a couple that are really great:

http://fortune500.bandcamp.com/album/the-music-of-the-now-age
artists to look out for here are
情報デスクVIRTUAL, luxury elite, VHS Tapes, and Miami Vice (just my opinion though)

http://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/dream-31
artists to look out for here are g h o s t i n g, ライフMIDI, Yuki, and Incorporeal Visions Deluxe (again, just my opinion).

>>49167709
well i'm not sure about vapor artists who have made pages, but something that might interest you is called One Terrabyte of the Kilobyte Age
essentially, before geocities was shut down, these guys backed up 1TB of screenshots of homepages (which is like a literal fuckton) and via their tumblr, have been posting them every day now.
as far as the vaporwave aesthetic is concerned, that's the type of place you'll find raw materials to make your own shit with
http://oneterabyteofkilobyteage.tumblr.com/
learn more about it here:

>>49167823
That tumblr is a treasure trove of potential album art

>>49166555

I love this VANITY album, is there anything else like it?

>>49168983
i also have this question

is de Chirico a main influence in vaporwave aesthetics?

>>49166930

Why are people still talking about this album as if we havent all discussed it 1000 times. Smells like viralling to me

>>49171715
literally 0/10 b8

what's some vaporwave hat would be good to listen to after taking acid?

>>49172277
i'm listening to this right now, and it's a little more electronic/beats than i'm interested in, but would probably be boss to trip to

>>49172421
shiiiiieett thanks man

this just came out yesterday and i'm giving it a listen now. only on the 3rd track, but it's pretty interesting so far. good use of effects without going full retard

>>49170624
ofc
i think twin peaks was an influence for vek too?
>from WA state
>the black lodge looking cover of FS
>"walk with me saturn"
>>49173327
what to you is "going full retard"?
also i like renja i liked the rave/dance references on their earlier ep's
https://soundcloud.com/trance-biz/untitled-ii
could i get some feedback on my stuff?

>>49173645
"going full retard" i guess would be times where the quality of the production or the overuse of effects gets in the way of enjoying the tracks themselves? i mean i guess that could be the artist's intent, in some cases, but just not my personal taste.

i really love hantasi (new album is great), but if you listen to GAMES MIX, it would work much better if the production were a little sleeker and the effects were made a little less overt

>>49173779
i feel u
like the effects overtake the composition/tunes almost
i really like how will went all the way in with effects on redefining the workplace though they nailed that corporate trance vibe

>>49173848
redefining the workplace is probably my fav internet club release, with that ultra clean 22nd century office vibe. i wish there was more that was that polished

>>49173645
>https://soundcloud.com/trance-biz/untitled-ii
this is nice and relaxing background music, would definitely put on while doing filing and data entry at my mega corporation and staring out what i think is a window but is actually an artificial image created for my pleasure.

no but it's pleasant, albeit not particularly surprising or innovative

>implying anything better exists

possibly the single best use of looping in any vaporwave track is the section from 3:38-4:16 on Eccojam B2

>>49175893
posted vid isnt vaporwave, more ambient like

>>49175979
i'm sorry, did you just say Eccojams wasn't vaporwave?

>>49172277
this, it's like if shpongle made a vaporwave album
