She debuted a typically insane/hilarious video project last night

She keeps teasing initiation tape volume 2 and it’s driving me mad
getting the suspicion that "initiation tape volume 2" is gonna have to be titled something more like "initiation tape volumes 2-4" at this rate lol— RaRa (@VektroidLive) February 5, 2021

She’s teased sequels to Neo Cali and Fuji Grid too, in addition to two triple albums. Plus some ambient album. Wonder when any of this is coming out? Is she just gonna dump it all in a weekend like old times?

So, my partner and I are in a really bad situation with rent. On Oct 1st we're both getting evicted if we can't come up with $5700. Been totally starving ourselves to stay afloat, so we're setting the goal at $8K to cover bills and food. Anything helps.♥https://t.co/6gBzaJYTBW— RaRa (@VektroidLive) September 17, 2021

well, she finally put out something new - a sequel to Fuji Grid TV. intended as a video project but you can download the MP3s at her bandcamp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ccD-soZ4gM
similar to the first one and probably something she did a while ago but still seems like an indication that 2022 is gonna be *the year* if you know what I mean

i fully believe in the cultural criticism and hauntology surrounding vaporwave (recommended reading: babbling corpse by grafton tanner - zero books), but i'm starting to feel like the VHS pastiche slowed down thing has really had its day, now... i want vaporwave that deconstructs modern telecoms.

When she announced that a sequel to a 2011 project would be dropping, I was really hoping it would be Initiation Tape…

I guess it's nice to hear her destructive and very scatterbrained brand of editing again but I wasn't too into this, until the last 8 minutes where some crazy shit starts happening. if that's indicative of her new album it's gonna be nuts.

the paradox is that it makes me think of peace, and calm, and warmth
i've lived, off and on, in this chaos vortex thing
everywhere at the end of time is interesting but there are things more interesting to me than cognitive decline
i imagine i imagine vektroid traveling back in time to 1985 and playing marty mcfly this
and marty mcfly thinking she's the terminator
and maybe she is but really all she wants is for marty mcfly to start taking estrogen
i'm almost anxious and upset for a second but there isn't actually anything to get upset about
this is what we do instead of dying
this is the world they made for us, this is what it sounds like
this is how we're fixing our hearts

have only listened to bits and pieces but it sounds like barely musical chaos to me. will have to grit my teeth and bear it though because I definitely think everything she does deserves your full attention...at least once
not sure how I feel about her next several albums being released in "beta" versions which will be continually updated - I don't really like the idea of releasing music that way. for one I don't want her to be working on these things forever. for two I feel like the majority of listeners are just gonna stick with the first version. like the next Mac Plus album is a decade-plus out from Floral Shoppe, whatever gets released will instantly have a ton of instant hype, so like that's the version people are gonna listen to. if you make a 'better' version in 6 months are people gonna go back and get reacquianted? I dunno, maybe. I just don't really think it's a great idea.

oooh thanks for the update i'll have to listen to this
― Kate (rushomancy), Sunday, 14 January 2024 16:03 (four months ago) link
Crash 2 sounds like Crash 1, kind of fascinating but idk how much I actually want to listen to it
Pig Danger probably worth a close listen, its not very musical but there's a lot of cool stuff in there
― frogbs, Sunday, 14 January 2024 16:28 (four months ago) link
Sounds like the first song on 777 samples “forever?” from initiation tape
