Arrr, matey! Me be a fearsome pirate, sailin' the seven seas in search o' booty and adventure. The sound o' me ship be like a symphony o' cannons and waves crashin' 'pon the shore. Me heart be filled with the wild melody o' the ocean, me plunder be like golden notes playin' in me ears. Avast! Join me crew, ye scurvy landlubbers, and let us make beautiful, incoherent music together!
My first thoughts were about how amazing the album cover looks, you did an absolutely phenomenal job. And yeah, the music definitely follows. Some of the songs have a really unique style and they're really well made
Avast, ye scallywags! Me be a pirate, sailin' through the misty depths of a musical fog. Me ship be carryin' a mystical cargo of tunes unseen, floatin' on the breezes like ethereal whispers. The melody be like a ghostly specter, hauntin' me senses with its elusiveness. Aye, me heart yearns for that intangible vaporware music, driftin' in and out o' me grasp like a slippery eel. Raise the anchor, me mateys, and let us embark on a journey to capture the enigmatic essence of this incoherent melody!
I've seen a lot of comments praising the twin songs Continuing and Crystalline, but to me it's Fase → Reason Why where it's at. You wouldn't notice there's a transition if you played Fase on its own, but it's seamless with Reason Why, which btw I can't stop whistling that amazing melody with the two synths
I agree so much. Its as if starting from Many Years there is this slow 3 song long build up that culminates in Reason Why and it feels like this well paid of burst off energy. Whenever the bassline in Reason Why kicks in, some part of my body has to move.
i love how natural the transitions are between each song, not even in this album, but pretty much every album w96 has dropped, its really something special that i dont hear too often
Windows if u read this I just wanna let u know how lowkey beautiful ur shit is like it has actually has me thinking bout life and shit and it's just all beautiful
I'm really in love with The Fool, its so different from everything else and makes me think of old adventure games with that old general midi standard soundfont at the core of the song, it is soooo good!
Oh yeah, it's all the olde style adventure games. It's the differentest song on the album, but really sums it up doesn't it? Like, it's got that uncertain, regretful vibe cranked way up, but it was sneaking up on us in all the prior tracks.
There were certain sound cards that had FM synth sounds for MIDI and you could only bend notes as far as a whole tone. I think that's what you're referring to. Modern MIDI "standard soundfont" is just the Roland Sound Canvas, but at least you can bend notes a whole octave. Look up some SC-55 demos. If I'm wrong about what you're talking about, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
But seriously, I recently discovered vaporware music, and let me tell you, it's like waiting for that pizza delivery that never shows up. You're left feeling disappointed, hungry, and questioning all of your life choices. It's the musical equivalent of being stood up on a blind date!
Positive Affirmations: - Remind yourself daily of your unique talent and creativity. - Repeat affirmations such as "I am a skilled and successful vaporwave musician" to boost self-confidence and belief in your abilities.
A new album for 2022. Nice! Love your music, Gav! Edit: This album, so far, in terms of its soothing sounds and structure, seems to be the album that finally dethrones Enchanted Instrumentals and Whispers for me. Edenic Green Plus was a strong beginning that eased me into the mood. Ascending Red gave me nostalgic vibes about EIW and the memories connected to that album and Many Years seems to be the "travel song" from this album; the song that enhances a bus or car ride from point A to point B and fills you with uplifting, soothing feelings. I love this stuff! This is probably the current peak of what vaporwave as a music genre is capable of.
Wow, I'm glad I'm not alone! Enchanted Instrumentals was my entry point to W96 and I was much enchanted by it, then I went to listen to One Hundred Mornings and found it wasn't as appealing. But then this dropped and now I feel the same way about it as I did when I first listened to EIAW
And what's with these artists, anyway? They're like the Houdinis of the music industry. One minute, they're hyping up their next album, teasing us with sneak peeks and snippets, and the next minute, poof! They vanish into thin air, leaving us all scratching our heads.
Gav i dunno if you read these comments, but if you do i wanna thank you for comforting me during breakdows and being such a comfort artist in a way to me, your music helps me calm down and i havent found an artist like you, never will.
To release an album and establish a successful career as a vaporwave musician. Challenges: 1. Lack of self-confidence in musical abilities. 2. Limited knowledge about the music industry and how to navigate it. 3. Struggling with finding inspiration and maintaining creative momentum. 4. Difficulty in promoting music and gaining a fanbase.
Beautiful sunny day here, like the first day of spring. I bought a great used bicycle this morning, rode it along the beach all the way home. Then I get home and find this surprise dropped. What a day. Win96 for life.
Just great. This sounds so diverse and the unique Windows96 style just keeps on developing. Everything you put out is incredible, thank you Gabriel! Edit: The Fool is unlike anything I've heard before. So many layers clashing but at the same time harmonizing with each other beautifully.
Me toooo dude. The Fool is so complex and full of doubt and regret and stuff... I love it. As a self-tormenting insecure person, it's like my theme song now. Did you notice the emoji at the top-middle of the album cover?
But you know what they say, "Once bitten, twice shy." So, I've decided to embrace the vaporware culture in my dating life. From now on, when someone ghosts me, I'll just pretend they're working on their masterpiece album. Hey, if they can do it, why can't I?
the 15:32 part of "Fase" is something magical, scenes from my life that haven't happened yet come to mind, with that part being the background sound, like a soundtrack.
@@InkfinityOkamix3 It's a very unique vaporwave style then. And thus actually it is new. I personally can't satisfy my thirst for Windows96 just by listening to vaporwave... his music is one of a kind.
@@stefan1draganov I mean if you like Windows 96 and have a thirst for their music then you're a fan of _their_ music - just don't go saying theyre inventing a new genre when they really aren't
I’m always so happy when u drop new stuff. Enchanted Instrumentals and Glass Prism were part of my soundtrack of the summer of 2020 and I seriously can never get enough of them
continuing + crystalline are both insane, that transition from one to another is also something else. windows 96 u are amazing my friend, keep up the superb work.
Bro stop doubting yourself, and just run. Don’t set boundaries, BREAK THEM. I’m just saying I hope you take runs without listening to music as well, because uhh shit I just realized I don’t run
But you know, the concept of vaporware music isn't that different from my dating life. It's all about unfulfilled promises and false hope. I've had more ghosting experiences than a haunted house. One minute, we're planning a romantic evening, and the next minute, they vanish from the face of the earth. I'm left wondering if they were a figment of my imagination or if I accidentally entered the Twilight Zone.
There’s something very special about Windows96's vibe that I completely understand. The name of this project, "Empty Hiding World", mixed with the very instruments and chords used in the songs mesh together in an immaculate way.
20 mins ago YESSSSS , I was just thinking yesterday that you released Red Twilight last year at this time, i really wanted a new album, sounds so relaxing already. Thank you Windows96 I love your music
Windows 96 you never disappoint. I am here every time you drop another one. I've been here since plume valley and it's one of my favorites ever. Never stop man.
super relaxing vaporwave type of music i always love! great as always! but could it be that the album cover and first 3 songs is in reference to mark rohtko's "no.6" (aka violet, green and red)? the first 3 songs directly mention the 3 colours used and described in the painting. in addition, if you look at the album cover, it resembles the colour scheme used in that exact piece! not sure if im right with this, but if i am, that's pretty cool.
15:32 - 15:52 I need to find more songs with this groove. This is definitely my favorite album, it's full of passion. Cover art shows the mood of a whole half hour in shifting rhythm. Makes you want to dance on beach at dawn with not a care in the world because it's just you vibing with nothing to hide and enjoying the moment.
When they saw the beauty of the lake they had no idea what the depth the lake had sprung before them as it was too good to be true; the true lure of the true darkness that lies beyond.
Windows takes me back to past lives, potential utopia, and future beings I have yet to embody. Windows opens the portal that connects us to the stars and distant earths. So far yet so close... The way that "continuing" transitions into the track "crystalline" is golden. This one smacks!
I just started listening to magic peaks a few days ago when I saw it on the channel. Bit silly since I've been listening to w96 for a while. Nice to have this just come out to further satisfy this lovely music
“On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse. Bassoons and basset horns, like a rusty squeezebox. And then suddenly, high above it, an oboe. A single note, hanging there, unwavering. Until a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.”
I missed the release because of the war. Right now I'm trying to listen to it, but my head is too brick-ish to take some of the drum breaks on the Ascending Red. I guess, I'll try again later. If the missile doesn't hit my house, that is, lol.
W96 randomly dropping a new full album makes my day
It blew my mind too! I saw the notification in bed and like jumped up yelling. Friday was a great day.
Just dropped again.
Arrr, matey! Me be a fearsome pirate, sailin' the seven seas in search o' booty and adventure. The sound o' me ship be like a symphony o' cannons and waves crashin' 'pon the shore. Me heart be filled with the wild melody o' the ocean, me plunder be like golden notes playin' in me ears. Avast! Join me crew, ye scurvy landlubbers, and let us make beautiful, incoherent music together!
So this gets hundreds of likes... I don't get it
@Windows96 Can we please get a vinyl release of this??? 🤞
Thank you
Another new album!? No way! I need this on CD immediately! 💿
Confesso q tomei um susto gostoso ao ver "postado há 3h atrás"
Como sempre, masterpeça.
Great as always :D
Risk of Rain 2 vibes in Ascending Red
nice feels in this
Extreme voilet, continuing
Thank you for this release. I am from Ukraine and right now your music helps me just for a brief moment to escape this horrible reality.
We love you and pray for you. music is made for these times. It will get you through it.
Rooting for you!
Hang in there, we're praying and rooting for you guys.
god bless you
Stay strong my dude, fuck Putin
My first thoughts were about how amazing the album cover looks, you did an absolutely phenomenal job. And yeah, the music definitely follows. Some of the songs have a really unique style and they're really well made
I love these Egyptian-like birdheads since I had a dream about one crossing a river on a canoe

that transition from Continuing to Crystalline's gotta be one of the most satisfying thing I've heard in a while..
It's up there with Pink Floyd's Brain Damage/Eclipse
Stay focused, remain positive, and embrace the journey of becoming a successful vaporwave musician.
i cannot get out of my mind
Best vaporwave Artist ever
This and telepath
very good, str8 up art
No question
I've seen a lot of comments praising the twin songs Continuing and Crystalline, but to me it's Fase → Reason Why where it's at.

Reason why is my alarm in the morning
@@fartgarfunkeljr Nice alarm
The part at the end of Fase that sounds like a slightly more jazzy version of the Reason Why melody is one of my favorite things on the whole record
@@GregSierra He'll yeah brother, that's what I'm talking about
i love how natural the transitions are between each song, not even in this album, but pretty much every album w96 has dropped, its really something special that i dont hear too often
It makes it seem like each album is its own unique extended track. A 30+ minute adventure for me! ;D
Yes, its called "conceptual album"
Windows if u read this I just wanna let u know how lowkey beautiful ur shit is like it has actually has me thinking bout life and shit and it's just all beautiful
I'm really in love with The Fool, its so different from everything else and makes me think of old adventure games with that old general midi standard soundfont at the core of the song, it is soooo good!
Oh yeah, it's all the olde style adventure games. It's the differentest song on the album, but really sums it up doesn't it? Like, it's got that uncertain, regretful vibe cranked way up, but it was sneaking up on us in all the prior tracks.

If I'm wrong about what you're talking about, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
This track really caught me off guard and put The Fool on the Hill in my head within the first few bars. Super neat take on the inspiration.
But seriously, I recently discovered vaporware music, and let me tell you, it's like waiting for that pizza delivery that never shows up. You're left feeling disappointed, hungry, and questioning all of your life choices. It's the musical equivalent of being stood up on a blind date!
I can't believe this album is already almost a year old, still feels it came out yesterday
Edit: can't believe this is a year old
Time flies so fast...
Positive Affirmations:

- Repeat affirmations such as "I am a skilled and successful vaporwave musician" to boost self-confidence and belief in your abilities.
And now this album is two years old
Ojalá los de tiktok no descubran esta xd
This album was definitely made by a cat.

Best W96 album, from now until eternity. Just a full player.
i miss 2022
Never thought I would find a new fresh recently baked shiny holy marvelous album today 😳
Here’s your free “here before they blow up” pass, congrats 🎊
i didnt like the album as much earlier but I think I should've trusted the repetition formula more, I like it a lot now.
Gabriel, vem a Portugal dar concertos!
This is by far your best album in my opinion. As soon as I press play my mood changes for the better without fail. Love Love Love!
Agree. It just locks you in with its worldbuilding.
All of your albums have such different vibes but it always has your classic sound. Thank you for dropping some new stuff for us!
the end of extreme violet (6:41) should be an entire song
Wow, bunch of new sound waves to binge-listen to, composed by the beloved artist Windows96 !
There’s something very special about Windows96's vibe that I completely understand. The name of this project, "Empty Hiding World", mixed with the very instruments and chords used in the songs mesh together in an immaculate way.
Amazing album as usual... favorite of mine is definitely The Fool 26:48
The Fool, ARE YOU KIDDING ME. He indeed saved the best for last imo.
This is transcendental... All the ones who dislike or don't know this masterpiece, i say: rest in peace. This is a gem... an ethereal diamond.
ambelibebel
Quando vi a notificação, o coração quase saiu pela boca! ❤️
Pra mim tbm
Chefe é chefe né pai

15:51 - Reasons Why - Nice transition between this and Fase
The last album came out just 4 months ago and he just releases a banger with NO issues.
Gabriel is the man.
2022 is now officially 96% better
Perfect way to start the weekend.
Don't stop making music. im so excited to hear new stuff bro!
Haven't listened to the album yet, just wanna say I really enjoy all your art. The colour palettes are always so comfy
Did you listen yet?
NEW WINDOWS 96 ALBUM HOLY SHIT
Fase made me smile. In fact, I'm smiling right now. thx
Continuing fleshing out the narrative
❤❤❤ Thank you for doing what you do windows96!!! ❤❤❤
20 mins ago YESSSSS , I was just thinking yesterday that you released Red Twilight last year at this time, i really wanted a new album, sounds so relaxing already. Thank you Windows96 I love your music
Masterpiece!

Windows 96 you never disappoint. I am here every time you drop another one. I've been here since plume valley and it's one of my favorites ever. Never stop man.
24:43 gotta love how Continuing _continues_ to Crystalline
stays true to its name and stays true to Windows 96
I really needed this. You are absolutely incredible
"The fool" sounds mysterious, relaxing and foolish at the same. I didn't know it was possible.
These albums are comparable to those of one of my favorite artist’s, Com Truise
super relaxing vaporwave type of music i always love! great as always!
but could it be that the album cover and first 3 songs is in reference to mark rohtko's "no.6" (aka violet, green and red)? the first 3 songs directly mention the 3 colours used and described in the painting. in addition, if you look at the album cover, it resembles the colour scheme used in that exact piece!
not sure if im right with this, but if i am, that's pretty cool.
best and most talented vaporwave artist ever
Reason Why is a certified bop. This album really showcases how much you've succeeded in forging and almost entirely unique sound and genre!
I am a recent fan, so the hype really hit me when I saw the new album drop. This is by far one of his best albums.
Reason Why is simply spectacular.
Crystalline hits different man good job.
15:32 - 15:52 I need to find more songs with this groove.
This is definitely my favorite album, it's full of passion. Cover art shows the mood of a whole half hour in shifting rhythm. Makes you want to dance on beach at dawn with not a care in the world because it's just you vibing with nothing to hide and enjoying the moment.
quality twilight music, amazing work

Another banger! I love Reason why!

Wow. This is just... refreshingly ethereal.
The Fool track gives me serious goosebumps.
“On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse. Bassoons and basset horns, like a rusty squeezebox. And then suddenly, high above it, an oboe.

Took a while of listening to this album before I could appreciate it fully. Favorite track is definitely Crystalline.
The connection between Continuing and Crystalline with The Fool at the end is the best for me
I am finished swimming laps. I have burned the souls of a thousand animals to fuel my vessel. Thanks 4 da tunez.
Beautiful cover art and beautiful tunes so far. Thank you Gabe!
25:00 hits me like a truck
i know right i keep this shit in my pocket at all times in case of emerjenices
Okay but Extreme Violet, Ascending Red, Crystalline are just so epic
