How are them tapes selling James?
>>65886132
do i still have to have it as my aoty if i didn't listen to it?
>>65886200
Listen to it now you pleb
>>65886416
i'm good, i don't listen to vaporwave
>>65886439
It's not even vaporwave, moron.
>>65886132
Go spam your shitty album on reddit.
Average to below average and i like ferraro
>>65886457
w/e you say man
>>65886439
>>65886480
>>65886545
it's not slowed down sample based shit you idiots
>>65886587
if you say so
>>65886439
it's not vaporwave, it's modern classical/art music.
not even memeing
>>65886638
It's gash, that's what it is.
>>65886624
listen to it your fucking self. i'm telling the truth.

>On Human Story 3, James Ferraro paints a hyperrealistic portrait of modern consumerist society and the adoration for the post-digital age. Labeled as his very own “classical” record, this is a masterful suite that bluntly yet powerfully displays capitalism, market crashes, digital mediums, and various businesses that appeal to the average millennial consumer and middle-aged merchant. Ferraro’s latest is not so much a Music For iPads and Starbucks, Vol. 1 as it is a potent mirror to our current lifestyle; its brilliantly haunting MIDI choir and string arrangements serve as the backdrop and simultaneous forefront to a text-to-speech narrator that works as a crucial element to Human Story 3′s main conceptual drive and aesthetics. Like a robotic secretary on the Virtual Cloud™ above a modern, dreamy CGI Mario landscape, we are presented with the “individualism” and “commercial simulacra” of IKEA, Starbucks, market crashes, touchscreen GPS variations, GoPros, Microsoft, freeways, yoga, lattes, burning Priuses, the contemporary plasticity of the “real” world, global markets, our own reflective digital products, smartphones, etc. With each one-punch reminder of Human Story 3′s surreal yet fitting take on state-of-the-art merchandising and worldwide retails, Ferraro peels back more and more layers of the album’s often satiric but undeniably artistically moving and important exhibition of the post-internet sphere’s postmodernist appeal.
damn...
>>65886692
it's not the typical slowed down sample based shit, though.
>it's not vaporwave
Okay now I kinda don't want to listen to it.
>>65886739
i'll take your word for it
>>65886692
Now, you're just coming off as a stubborn idiot. HS3 is certainly not Vaporwave, regardless of your feelings about Ferraro.
>>65886777
so why don't you listen to it then?
>>65886710
IT'S NOT MASTERFUL IF YOU HAVE TO LITERALLY SPELL OUT THE THEMES YOU'RE PORTRAYING YOU SHIT
>>65886794
why do people think ferraro wrote that? it's from a review.
>>65886794
Ferarro just doesn't give a fuck
He's living in a totally different world
>>65886802
but i literally just explained to you that it's not the typical slowed down sample based shit
someone post the ferraro 9 minute set copypasta
Is there anything recommendable that sounds near the angle Far Side Virtual and HS3 are coming from? Like the whole 'it sounds like The Sims and Pixar and easy listening video game soundtracks only it's actually something substantially interesting to listen to' kind of vibe?
I've listened to quite a bit of vaporwave but this stuff stands out somehow. It's not Vaporwave basically, it just informed that direction of embracing muzak.
Pic related caught my attention for instance, did anyone here like this?
>>65886813
Oh yeah i know, i just really dislike how pretentious this album is and had to express my impotent anger
>>65886874
yeah, you are.
>>65886838
>he headlined a show at the smell that had like, a fucking incredible long, comtemplative mark mcguire set, a totally cool spencer clarke set, a whole bunch of shit, like people going out and doing their things that were all really popping off at the time, i remember this was riiight around when this mk of the board first launced so whatever year that was, Not Not Fun was just getting big, pocahaunted were one of the other big names playing and they were just playing this horrible like, pinecone tampon womens studies dreadlocked take on the doors, but they seemed sincere enough, not important, anyway ferraro comes out, plays one (really cool classically ferraro-y) loop, goes "YA-MA-HA" into a little casio mic and loops that for a couple minutes, is offstage after roughly 9 minutes, smirking his ass off and looking for the afterparty
best song on the album?

>marcel's reaction
10/10 FERRARO IS A LIVING GOD
>>65886884

>>65886710
stop this meme and post 3 pieces of art you genuinely think are intelligent
I can't believe Marcel only gave this a 7/10
>>65886924
that pasta is from marcel originally? oh my god that makes it so much better
we should have kept marcel memeing forever. it was so much funnier than some of our more recent memes
>>65886946
yeah but it's scaruffi logic so in reality it's a 9/10. his actual review made it out to seem like it was a 10/10 as well.
>>65886132
Reminder that if this isn't your AOTY for 2015 then you know jackshit about music
stop making these threads you autistic fuck
>>65886963
nah the pasta wasn't from him, that was taken from some very old message board post.
this is from him:
>>65886710

>>65886988
>>65886995
>>65886990
Someone's mad that they didn't get it
>>65887024
ah yeah, i'm so upset because i couldn't understand the subtle nuances of a vaporwave album
>>65887046
stop it
>>65887053
no u
>vaporwave
c'mon guys this is clearly vaportrap
>>65887046
Thanks for proving my point!
>>65886842
the closest you'll get is R+7 and some library music, otherwise I don't really know what else there is
>>65887109
Yeah, and I already love R+7.
It's cool, not surprising if not, I'm just happy this much already exists. I love it.
>>65887108
np man
you're right, i didn't understand it. mostly because i didn't listen to it, because i don't listen to vaporwave.
>>65886842
Holly Herndon - Platform
>>65887197
You also don't get it because you have a fundamental lack of understanding when it comes to genre classifications.
>>65887178
there was some pretty R+7-esque library music posted in a recent sharethread (I think maybe #97)
also iirc there's an album by some japanese guy that Lopatin cited as an inspiration to R+7 that I'll have to go find
>>65887219
i mean, it's kind of impossible to understand music you didn't listen to, but w/e.
>>65887252
so why dont you listen to it? its not the generic slowed down type of sample based vaporwave. it sounds more like OPN's R+7.
>>65887024
>didn't get it
pretentious
>>65887178
>>65887236
found the album I was thinking of, it's Yasuaki Shimizu - Music For Commercials
it's like R+7 minus the chopping and glitchfuckery
>>65887299
>its not the generic slowed down type of sample based vaporwave.
so it's the non-generic, non-slowed down, non-sample based type of vaporwave?
>>65887335
exactly
>>65887335
it's not any type of vaporwave
>>65887352
so it's vaporwave?
>>65887335
That doesn't exist. How can it be vaporwave if you take away all the characteristics of vaporwave?
>>65887364
i have no idea what you're trying to say
just fucking listen to it idiot
>>65887377
but i don't listen to vaporwave
>>65887384
good, you should like it then. it's not vaporwave.
>>65887384
why not?
>>65887384
>>65887364
>>65887335
it's not fucking vaporwave you retard
You guys should listen to his other vaporwave albums
>>65887409
it definitely is, you dumb summerfag avant teen
>>65887437
why wouldn't you listen to something thats vaporwave?
>>65887437
But Ferraro has been making music since long before the term even existed and really isn't associated with the rather small and predictable "scene" that is vaporwave
>>65887459
thats just pic of grimes
>>65887456
that guy isn't me, but i don't listen to vaporwave
vaporwave sucks
>>65887479
why not?
>>65887476
shows up for me as this, lol at 4chan eating dick
>>65887504
why don't you listen to vaporwave?

why do you listen to vaporwave?

that's absolutely retarded

>>65887504
Wow, some idiots on RYM think everything with MIDI is vaporwave, more news at 10
>>65887546
um, no, you didn't. i clearly asked YOU first:
>>65887514
>>65887556
nah, i asked you first

Should I give this a try? I'm not a huge fan of vaporwave.

pretty cool, nice one

Part of the same school of thought I guess yeah
>>65887772
it's not vaporwave and it's pretty good, so yes
PLEASE
SHUT

FUCK
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
>>65887759
how do you think it didn't come first
>>65887772
it's vaporwave, and the people in this thread like it, so no
>>65887804
because of the fact that i literally posted it before you asked me a question? theres time stamps to prove it.
>>65887783
James here
Mind if I sample this on my next lo-fi record?
>>65887772
Go for it, although it maybe hard to grasp, it's still an easy listen by nature
>>65887827
i'm incredulous
>>65887804
why should the fact that we like it put off the fact that someone should give it a try?
>>65887862
because you guys like vaporwave
>>65887862
because you guys are acting like a bunch of immature faggots
also because noone here has bothered to try and explain WHY it's good
>>65887848
why, idiot?
>>65887843
all yours
>>65887889
you have yet to convince me

and what's wrong with vaporwave?
>>65887917
what's good about it?
definitely one of the better vaporwave albums to come out in a while
>>65887931
i asked you first
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
EVERYBODY SHUT UP
>>65887943
we have yet to sufficiently establish that
>>65887931
what's bad about it
>>65887936
it's not vaporwave
>>65887961
okay

You need to get that autism checked.
I had no idea a subpar vaporwave album could trigger someone this hard.
>>65887980

you first
>>65887977
i asked you first asshole. you can answer that question since you're so fucking sure of yourself that you made the claim that vaporwave is bad.
>>65887995
it's not vaporwave
>>65887998
I never claimed it was bad
you need to actually prove your point first

guys. just dont respond to the guy. hes obviously trolling us and well just keep arguing in the same loophole forever. its pointless. just ignore him.
>>65888079
are you sure?
>>65888079
its vaporwave
"wouldn’t it be a great tragedy if that same human intellectual spirit that brought us thus far, from the stone age to industrial age to possible future automation age became paradoxically the double edged sword of our dispossession from ourselves?
HOW IS THIS NOT VAPORWAVE
>>65888075
it blends modern classical with different modern styles of music born online and spread online (Vaporwave)

There are great melodic moments crammed in here
The clean chirpy instrumentation is wonderful, like cheesy sounds somehow de-cheesed
The classical angle is a refreshing development too following on from Far Side Virtual
The concept is engaging/thought provoking, and the voices and words add to this.
It's PROVOCATIVE
It's abstract enough to be taken as an artistic concept piece but tangible enough to be enjoyed as serious listening electronic muzak with fringes of more modern electronic like the glitch out moments and R+7-like choral chimes
Please knock it off

>>65888863
I like vaporwave just this album is kinda flat and boring to me. i think the little vocals samples are corny and are a cheap way to get your message across. without them you're just left with some boring classical music. i don't get any "dystopian" feeling from the music itself at all. i just hear some subpar classical music played on crappy sounding midi instruments.

>>65886132
im not sure most people even realize he probably used live instrumentation for this release. what vaporwave fans don't understand is that HS3 actually achieves what vaporwave music is constantly trying to achieve, which is to synthesize rather than become reductive.
vaporwave music is supposed to be some sort of anticapitalist critique by appropriating nostalgia. its reductive because the sound becomes reducible to stylistic tropes.
HS3 succeeds because it may not even be about capitalism or nostalgia ( or any of those concepts) but it synthesizes many concepts as influences to create something that causes us to reflect.
