“It’s your move” really is an amazing song, slowed down or not

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

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

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

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

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 )
― calstars, Friday, 8 May 2020 01:08 (three years ago) link
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"

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
― frogbs, Saturday, 16 May 2020 03:11 (three years ago) link
cosign!
― nxd, Monday, 18 May 2020 14:48 (three years ago) link
she said the ambient album is not really ambient...and from what she's played on the stream that's truth...
I like her (original) work to some extent these days ok but she's SO GOOD at plunderphonics. I wish she'd go back in that direction but I doubt she will ever again. Like she just went through all the Kmart stuff...I mean there's hours of gold there. Telepath is another one...his screwed and chopped stuff is the best out there imho -- but now he's morphed into being a new age composer. ok...
― calstars, Monday, 18 May 2020 19:12 (three years ago) link
I'd be in favor of more hybrid-type stuff like Shader or Color Ocean Road. her straight plunderphonic stuff seems like it hit a wall recently. I cannot really make heads or tails of that Peace Forever Eternal album, there are some good parts but as a whole it's just a mess. I like that she's finding her voice as a composer.
― frogbs, Monday, 18 May 2020 20:21 (three years ago) link
She’s now using a modified animoji type avatar and has pitch-shifted her voice higher so it sounds like she’s just coming down from a hit of helium. Awesomehttps://i.imgur.com/ihFM7qi.jpg

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
― calstars, Friday, 5 February 2021 02:00 (three years ago) link
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
