That's what I thought but they seem to have some serious issues🕸. Otoh if Norman Records has it in stock, which I assume they do, it should be ok?

What are the chances that I’m rocking Pages on Spotify while I get a notification that Ramona is steaming on twitch?

I like her music. I just found her Twitch thanks to you, calstars... and she's just playing a video game. Not even talking?
― maffew12, Sunday, 17 March 2019 23:50 (five years ago) link
Isn't that what twitch is?
― brimstead, Sunday, 17 March 2019 23:59 (five years ago) link
haha I'm not sure. Don't most streamers at least talk? Wondering the appeal here. That could be anybody.
― maffew12, Monday, 18 March 2019 00:02 (five years ago) link
Well half the appeal for me at least is the music selection , it’s like she djs random Midi sh1t wiith other choice cuts
― calstars, Monday, 18 March 2019 00:26 (five years ago) link
oh cool yeah there is music now. When I first checked, it was only game sound effects

"idgi, she's literally just playing a bunch of '80s yacht rock songs at half speed and calling it vaporwave" vs. "idgi, she's literally just playing a bunch of '90s PC games without any commentary and calling it a livestream"

... and now I've made an account to help her out with some Linux distro advice. calstars you really made my evening.

“It’s your move” really is an amazing song, slowed down or not
― brimstead, Tuesday, 23 April 2019 02:15 (five years ago) link
She’s been talking and been on cam for the last week or so (getting comfortable is how I think she put it) , been going through the k-mart tapes and isolating the good bits

Do you have a link to her twitch?

I'd completely forgotten that she released an album under the moniker "Peace Forever Eternal" 2 years ago, I'm listening now and uh...what the hell

Love the volume adjustments on dis 1:https://vektroid.bandcamp.com/track/drftrzz

Seed & Synthetic Earth so damn good, it's like an imaginary JRPG soundtrack combined with QVC disco music. its the album she's been hinting at since the very beginning. unfortunately I think it got buried somewhat because she was releasing so much. I bet if she dropped it right now it would've gotten way more attention.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 14:32 (four years ago) link
Unfortunately I like her plunderphonics stuff much more than her originals

I mean, who the fuck can say, I guess. But I've spent a long long time now trying to figure out how to leave a legacy that's worth more than fucking Floral Shoppe and I've decided the best route is to make the most opposite sounding music possible. So.— Vektroid (@Vektroid) December 20, 2019
― calstars, Friday, 20 December 2019 22:05 (four years ago) link
hahah yep this does not sound like Floral Shoppe

The era of anonymity in vwave is really at an end, besides vek I can cite hke and internet club and some of the acts at electronicon as other examples who have really come forward this year on social media or in live performances in a way they hadn’t before. Telepath remains a notable exception.
― calstars, Saturday, 21 December 2019 00:12 (four years ago) link
album better be titled Return of the Mac
― frogbs, Saturday, 21 December 2019 03:30 (four years ago) link
What do we think of this New one?
― calstars, Saturday, 21 December 2019 17:12 (four years ago) link
when she was teasing No Earth she made it sound like it was an opus that combined a bunch of elements from her recent works, and that's pretty much what this is. my speculation is that the muted response to Seed & Synthetic Earth made her think twice about putting out something major under the Vektroid label and since she knows that anything released under the "Macintosh Plus" name would get way more engagement I think that this new album might be what No Earth was supposed to be. for what its worth the single's already got about as many ratings on RYM as the last album did. I think it's pretty good but I'll definitely need a few more listens...its by far the most scatterbrained 12 minute single I've heard this year
― frogbs, Saturday, 21 December 2019 21:04 (four years ago) link
guess I was half rright
FULL ALBUM LATER IN 2020. SISTER PROJECT TO NO EARTH. BOTH ALBUMS 2CDS EACH, MAYBE 3CD. DEPENDS HOW HARD I CONSOLIDATE.

shes doing a livestream working in Abelton, showing off new tracks and such, pretty interesting stuff
I've heard two new tracks, they're very much in the S&SE vein

Back on stream working on an ambient album ?!

(It’s not very ambient lol )

thanks! forgot about the Twitch notification i got earlier. This is sounding interesting right now. Loads of Ableton streams lately. Looking forward to releases

yeah I've hopped in a couple of these and there are definitely some neat things coming up. I kinda hope she doesn't just dump a whole bunch of stuff at once b/c things tend to get ignored that way.
kinda funny how she's openly like "yeah I'm pretty stoned when I make this stuff and you should be when you hear it"
― frogbs, Friday, 8 May 2020 15:02 (three years ago) link
She takes volcano hits like other people snack on chips

Last nights stream was cool, she broke into the car chase in LA while working in ableton

i finished the ambient album— Vektroid (@Vektroid) May 15, 2020
didn't even know one was in the works
kind of excited for the new Mac Plus album. everything she's demoed from it has sounded rad and apparently it's going to be super long. and since she's using the name it'll get a lot of attention. could be a big break I hope
