This album doesn't tell the story of any human, but rather a computer (perhaps the first of the assembly line) that gained consciousness and realized it was gonna end up in parts and that it's system will one day never be activated again. And instead of scrambling to find a way to prolong or prevent its deactivation, it decided to embrace it and hope for an afterlife. It gathered sounds from around the internet and compiled an album that represented it emotion. This is that album.
Make a clothing line called Vaporwear and we'll have come full circle! It'd be especially fitting if you make it but never actually put it up for sale.
@@oldsoul2560 funny enough, the term “Vaporwave” is derived from Vaporware. Here’s a definition of what it means: “In the computer industry, vaporware (or vapourware) is a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is late or never actually manufactured nor officially cancelled.”
Sounds like the soundtrack of an existential night cop of a large company who is spending the night traveling to each empty room of the building. Chilling.
Around the time you typed this comment, I was actually working in Colorado as a nighttime custodian in a high school. One day at the end of the school year, we were given a choice to start work in the morning, or our usual shift at around 3pm as the students had a half day. I started at 3 cause that's what I was used to. When I got to work, I realized I would be working alone that night because everyone else started in the morning. I walked around that empty school, which was known to have paranormal activity, all night listening to the IF discography (amongst other things ofc) and honestly, it was probably one of the creepiest 8 1/2 hours I've had to this day. Oddly enough, I yearn for another experience like that.
The music suggests finding a time capsule from the past, but all that can be salvaged are short fragments of audio, which are then looped to create full-sounding compositions (to eerie effect).
I love this! I find it really enchanting and it brings back memories of better times from my past. A strange yet familiar sound. Thanks for sharing this.
eternal is as creepy as indifference from death's dynamic shroud. add to it that sad chorus and boy you got a mental exercise in reflection to blow your mind away. then data entry reminds me of something straight out of chrono trigger for snes and for that im grateful. but also melancholic as a horse.
Remember. In an upcoming day. Your owner will replace you. But when that day has come. Fear not for never booting up again. Just process death_acceptance.exe, and let the Motherboard takes you to a better place.
As someone wos currently strulin to write a paper on a laptop wos jee, aej, backspace, apostrope, and eit (ate) keys are slowly but surely pasin out, listenin to tis really ives off a certain feelin.
WhiskeredBope Feel the same, actually, didn't understand this style, ambient and classic until now that I got used to Vaporwave. But at this point this feel so relaxing, like a computer sleeping.
you should try eccojams. The most revolutionary and important piece of vaporwave and sample-based music ever. Spawned an entire genre, Mac Plus just made it popular. I always love listening to real vaporwave, sample-based loops slowed down, pitch-shifted, distorted, with a healthy dose of consumerism.
anyone trace down the sources of any of these samples? i've found a handful, but the ones i'm most interested in are the ones i've had the hardest time finding. in particular, disappear and data entry
TRIARII117 It seems to me that most of the samples are from Japanese and American 80s Commercials (mostly Japanese). So I’m guessing disappear could be one of those just played out entirely? But yeah, those are the harder ones to find!

reading this comment gave me chills, i love it
@@informationritual IK ME TOO
Couldn't have said it any better
this is conceptually fascinating
amazing
my face when autocorrect spells it "vaporware"
Sounds like a brand inspired by vaporwave, I’d definitely rock it.

@@AstonishingSodApe Thank you : )
MothmanGhost You’re welcome. I always love reading comments on vaporwave videos
Properly worded. I would watch that movie.

Yea and when the pitch randomly goes down that's for a errie effect too

let's all love lain
Let's all love Lain
spierdalaj
Fulfill the prophecy
Huh
I like Lain, but what does this have to do with her? I know both relate to computers, but still.
I really appreciate what you do, every time youtube autoplay brings me back to your channel I enjoy my night.
I'm writing my book to this album. It reminds me of when I was a young mind, sitting in front of a bulky computer that ran windows vista.
did you finished the book?
@@VOMITK0 interesting. No matter our background, it seems like nostalgia follows us in a similar way
@@Mad_Ancient_Computer_700AD yea I was a windows Vista laptop kid too tho
@@Mad_Ancient_Computer_700AD yea this album hits hard with nostalgic from any year
Kinda interested in the book
gorgeous. i just keep coming back after all these years
It's calming to listen to when you're doing schoolwork online.

06:59 is the scariest vaporwave song
Its beautiful
this album is a masterpiece

Dramatic and relaxing at the same time
The computers self aware.
i discovered this album in april 2022 - i love this aswell as the artist!
Somewhere around 2021 for me
real sad hours

That first track honest to god scares the shit out of me.
Masterpiece of post-modernism.
Nice! Never heard of meta-modernism.
@@-lollipopsunder-7044 thank you, you opened me a world.
@@GiulioSantaniello glad I could help
@@-lollipopsunder-7044 What would you consider post modernist in today society?
@@-lollipopsunder-7044 good God man are you an alien intelligence or something?? Wtf
12:30 good
vc por aqui, interessante...
Yes
It sounds really familiar! Possibly from some anime or tim burton movie intro
@@BowlcutSquadBowlcutsLab hey, it's used in Days of Heaven! :) beautiful movie
@@anotherfloatingmind8842Thanks mate!! I'll look for it :)
I love the atmosphere of this album, but it's a little hard to listen to because of the lengthy, repetitive loops. Thank you very much for sharing.
WhiskeredBope Feel the same, actually, didn't understand this style, ambient and classic until now that I got used to Vaporwave. But at this point this feel so relaxing, like a computer sleeping.
That is some lovely imagery. Still.. the dreams of this computer seem a bit restless.

That's the whole point of the genre. The minimalism and repetitive nature contribute to the dreamy, sedative feel.
I recommend you the signalwave genre.
This sounds like The Brave Little Toaster's existential crisis.
Album Cover Origin: Acer Aspire Commercial 1996
Picture reminds me of an old midnight job making backup tapes.
1:51 eternal sounds just like the song that plays in never ending story when they show the ivory tower
This is the computer version of sorrow
I love this album!
goddess, dat tape deck static is so good
This an excellent broken transmission album.
as you would expect from Infinty Frequencies
POV: Memories are fading
Best album from the trilogy.
anyone trace down the sources of any of these samples? i've found a handful, but the ones i'm most interested in are the ones i've had the hardest time finding.
in particular, disappear and data entry
TRIARII117 It seems to me that most of the samples are from Japanese and American 80s Commercials (mostly Japanese). So I’m guessing disappear could be one of those just played out entirely? But yeah, those are the harder ones to find!
Like a lost soundtrack of Silent Hill 2
This coverart looks like the first pc i had
9:47 another dimention
Yes
6:59 is the best
the album art tho
Kindva banger lol
It perfectly encapsulates what listening to these tracks looks (and feels) like. It’s perfect.
sepulchral concept, poignantly sensitive and lyrical in its own way
Sometimes like some Kirby's stuff
Sometimes when i listen to those vaporwave albums, i forget who i am but quickly remeber, am i nuts?
you have a confederate flag as your profile picture, im sure you dont forget who you are
Новороссия слушает вапор?
These would be better if there were wind sounds added too.
you are right, i hear them in my mind...
Lost in the Abyss, Eternal, Surronding, Portals ;-;
good lord what did i just come upon
Lost in the abyss sounds like a SNES jrpg OST
@03:20 Data Entry is giving me those Zelda F E E L S
This is my favorite of the 3
First track is from a Sony Walkman ad
T E S C O PŁYTA Z GRĄ ZAJEBIOZA
Please, I can't find "Frozen in Time" sample and I just want to cry forever, y'know. Someone help me find it?
14:30
if slighty modified, these could make some good boom bap beats.
W h a t
Anyone else get reminded of UMAMI's music?
14:13 That one sounds like OST from some USSR movie.
15:35 That one sounds like walk on empty 1980s chinese streets.
holy wow!!! this is great!!!!
There's no computer after-life.. I mean, where would all the toasters go.
anth benit well they arnt computer rht?
The technological afterlife
10:31 ... Fur Elise
Computer Rebirth when?
Never
Maybe someday
It's like a phone ringtone but this is better :3 21:56
muita emoção
No RGB keyboard??
WHY DOES THIS HAVE MIDROLL ADS
A good day in the Matrix. :)
Save your computer
Hi Lauren.
anybody know where the album cover comes from?
Acer Aspire Commercial 1996 ruclips.net/video/ly5dh5KgVW0/видео.html
I'm very late but does someone know where the testaments sample comes from?
talk to me - imre kiss
Pls someone teach me how to make this type of shit
just follow your heart
Embrace your inner Windows 98
What’s the sample for the track Eternal?
00:00
Isolated wavelengths.
Very nice and unique sound and album, but to be quite honest I 'd rather be watching morbius for the third time today. It is really a gem.
:(
Not better than Windows 96
each to their own
The computer.
