the first death.wmv album シェンムーONLINE is getting a tape release in March. I’m a sucker for those kind of chord movements – almost beatlesque. And the chords during that last bit where it goes cut time just like rips my guts out. Yeah it is so tight, her vocals are so genuine. Check out track 4, it absolutely wrecks me. The title track is so expertly crafted and by the end I’m in tears. Her album Binasu completely blew my mind. Last year, the Russian experimental pop artist NV really took my breath away. But even that aside, it’s just so well curated and they really take risks and give no-name artists a chance when they deserve it. One of the owners Keith Rankin who releases as Giant Claw is a good friend of mine and we work together on death.wmv stuff. Pretty much everything happening on the label Orange Milk has been killing it for the last few years. Which artists do you love and who should we look out for? And why? It’s more like a reconnection with what I did before vaporwave – although I ended up cutting a lot of it up and using similar methods in a different context. I’ve been trying to sound like Julee Cruise from Twin Peaks for years. It’s extremely not-vaporwave, acoustic guitar tracks and weird guitar, and a lot of singing. Īctually my first HCMJ album since 2012 should be coming out very very soon.
I was really into the early Dream Catalogue stuff and actually made DERELICT MEGATOWER 4 hours long so HKE couldn’t turn it down. They were one of the first labels, after Ailanthus, to put out death.wmv. VW really started on message boards and stuff online, decentralized and not a party of an actual physical “scene.”ĭream Catalogue is great. There are a lot of vaporkids in CA, a lot on the East Coast, a lot in the Midwest – really scattered. I think it’s just where the organizers were close to haha. Is PA the birthplace of vw interest or has the largest community of vw artists? “Boogie at the hypermall” or something like that. Started a Kickstarter, took it down, got all these artists to agree to play then didn’t follow through. It was just a group of people who didn’t know what they were doing.
Since the scene is so Internet-based, everyone is scattered all over the world.Ī few years ago, there was all this talk about a vaporwave super show in an unfinished shopping mall, but of course, it all fell through.
Sometimes the music will just be a complete reflection of my current emotional state and I’ll realize I superimposed a superficial narrative after the fact, if that makes sense. I also love narratives so without specifically being like “ok, this is the story and this song is this part of the story,” I try to let albums sort of naturally develop from a starting point.Īre there songs that were influenced by memories? Any special or philosophical meanings to songs that you’ve made? Like everyone thinks one song is about feeling happy but the entire album has a different purpose. Now most of the stuff I do is electronic but the chord progression is the key to everything. I’d improv a melody and lyrics would sort of drop into place. When I was a guitarist/singer in a band, songs would start more with the chord progression. To be honest, over the years I’ve sort of developed an “instinct” when writing music. How would you describe your own music with your personal taste sprinkled in? Do you hang onto the feeling when you’re creating music in the beginning stages or do you go head first and see what you can do?
