    this video took FOREVER to make, please let me know if the visuals are too distracting, if i over done it, and if any sequence is out of place or could've been done differently, I'm always happy to take in critical feedback! other than that I hope you enjoyed this rather big audio/visual experiment!! 💜💜💜💜💜
    Thank you for everyone who donated 5:42 so far it means a lot and helps me greatly with making more videos like these!💜

      The visuals were far from distracting, the complete opposite. You created a feast for both the ears and eyes.

      @WireMosasaur 3 месяца назад +4

      I really admire and respect that you've created this whole visual journey I KNOW how much work that is, but I'll be honest, personally I only watch about the first 60 seconds and then I'm minimizing and enjoying the ambience. it's quite frustrating actually that I can see that there's a lot of interesting visuals I'm missing, but I do not have the attention to sit there for an hour and watch it change I'm listening to ambient because I'm doing other stuff with my eyes lol - the Windows 95 one is perfect because I can just open the tab occasionally and the familiar floating PC makes me smile and relax :)

      I love these tracks, they help me focus and clear my mind. I'd like to see more of this concept, perhaps with old video game consoles of the 90's and early 2000's. Playstation, Xbox and Gamecube have background music that deserves a soundscape.

    • @atleo456
      @atleo456 3 месяца назад +3

      My dude, your work is incredible. Your ambience gets me through hours of working and studying for exams. If I need a break? I stare at the screen and let myself chill with your insanely cool visuals. I don't think there's much to critique - your videos far exceed anything I could ever ask for.
      Thanks for all you do.

      That there is the only reason I am commenting.
      Thanks for saying it.
      That game and my pc was all I had in 1999.
      Everything had been taken from me by a very bad person and I was just a teen, confused and angry about it all.
      It was just homeschooling to survive a long and unnecessary court battle that I was innocent of. That's where I met HalfLife, chat rooms, and Napster.

  • @pdnb4458

    Win XP was the trusted workhorse for over a decade, even past its successor. It should never have been replaced. This track brings back memories of a crisp clean desktop with a study hutch housing the new digital hardware straight out of the box. It was suddenly making our lives easier from calculating fractions to adding friends to a new email group

I really dig those multidimensional / layered chord progression sections (@10 - 15min.. and its equivalent near the end.. those are some deep level vibes I can personally relate with... and then there's the ending.. 🔥Perfect! @@RetrovexAmbient

    This is just as special as the 90s computer room one, I love it. The first track especially seems to evoke the uplifting optimism of the new millennium before 9/11 happened. I remember how different windows XP sounded and felt vs. 95/98. Love each though. I know this is all relative though, I was just a happy kid back then playing computer games on the family PC.

    I was one of the lucky few who had an exceptional experience with Windows ME. I look back on that being one of my most favorite operating systems. I can't exactly recall why, but maybe that's about when I started really getting into using my own personal PC at home and taking over control on what hardware I could install on it and what kind of games I could play. Either way, this takes me back to the simpler times and reminds me that even with how chaotic and immediate life can be today, there are still ways to disconnect and recharge.
    Thank you for this series. I'm excited for what else you have in store for us!

    This is giving me heavy 2000-2002 vibes, the sounds and the graphics of this video capture that era of computers really well. Man I still remember installing windows 2000 and geeking out over the Mouse curser having a shadow behind it, that was HQ stuff back then lol

    • @jimjamz.
      @jimjamz. 2 месяца назад +2

      Not just the shadow but, for the first time, the implementation of interpolation on the cursor movement made it feel hardware-accelerated almost. You'll notice the difference between the movement and frames of this OS vs Windows 9X.

    These videos/soundscapes are incredible when used for sleep hypnosis and meditation. This and the Windows 95 soundscape in particular have really helped bring me back to joyful moments of discovery during my childhood. I'm on a journey to find my sense of purpose again and these videos have been so helpful. All I can say is thank you and please keep creating, Retrovex!

  • @bobblebardsley
    @bobblebardsley 3 месяца назад +2

    39:00 Teenage me would have made a clip of this part and set it to play full-screen every time my computer booted. Absolutely beautiful. Retrovex, I think you might have just invented the Millenniwave genre, the ambience in this feels so perfectly sandwiched between the Millennium Bug when we thought planes were gonna fall from the sky, and the day in New York when they actually did. There should be a word for nostalgia for a time that felt like the future, but is now in the past, I love Sovietwave for that same kind of feeling and this absolutely nails it, well done.

  • @yungjerky

    Thanks for making these nostalgic ambient versions! I love them all. And the visuals just keep getting better and better.
    I'd love to hear even more of the Windows sound bites incorporated in, like a subtle echoing Windows alert chime in the background for example. Would really get me even more immersed into that nostalgic soundscape. Great work!
