Yup yup!

I wrote another Macintosh Plus album.

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.

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.

album better be titled Return of the Mac

What do we think of this New one?

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

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

wow @ [1987] Portable Rock ‎– Dance Volunteer - 9. キュートな事情

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

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

cosign!

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...

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.

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. Awesome

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?

“Need to rock you, and hold you all night long”

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

HELLO!
Today is a really special day for me.
I am unbelievably hyped to finally present:

"THE OFFICIAL VEKTROID PATREON"https://t.co/bnGiBFmUgb

I'm going to be sharing so much stuff on here it's actually ridiculous. You'll really want to consider pledging at tier 3 or higher. pic.twitter.com/Kk0H0x14wt

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…

Time is running out

That was fun. And good for her releasing something!

I got news for you

whu happen? I haven't watched a Twitch stream in a while.

I wish I knew what whu means

ノ！ノ！ボ-イ！

Right

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.
