To me, vaporwave's nostalgia isn't so much for a time that was lost, but a future or futurism envisioned by that time that never materialized, leaving us instead with this world we have today. It's an attempt, in a way, to create an alternate timeline while coping with the fact that that timeline will never, can never exist. I really liked the Lambert piece because it did feel more like what perhaps could have been in Classical music if perhaps Franz Ferdinand hadn't been killed or something like that, but in your case it did happen to Classical music thanks to you.

Vaporwave is musical liminality.
It's art stranded in the intersection between what was and what could have been, and our longing for lost possibilities and our grief over not being able to try again.
It's music stuck in a past where we once dreamed for a future that never came.

"I added a (kind of) walking bass, for no other reason then I felt it made it better". I love this - not being tied to the theoretical formal process, but in pursuit of the best final result aesthetic. Beautiful work, and beautiful process. Thanks for the window into your work!

Well I never expected to have my music profiled in a video like this, so, uh, thank you! I'm glad you liked "LISA," and I really appreciate you including me in the conversation on classicalized vaporwave with my humble contributions - it caused a minor stir when I shared it with the vaporwave community at first. I also did a follow-up piece based on something by another artist when I had access to an orchestra in grad school, and after that, I took to writing my own music and giving in the vapor treatment, which is very much a technique I'm still interested in, but not really able to engage in due to life circumstances.
As an aside, it's funny, it's been a good while since anybody's called me by that name, so it was weird to hear it out loud. I should really update my website...

That "metamodernist" superposition of irony and sincerity is I think a key part of the vaporwave philosophy*. Vaporwave presents the 1980s in a dreamy, muffled haze, but I think it's important to realize that what it draws on is the most /disposable/ sounds of the '80s: clips of deep cuts from frothy pop albums, sure, but also commercial jingles, bumper music, newscast theme tunes, and the like. Things that nobody at the time would have listened to for themselves, only as a side effect of having the TV or radio on, the sort of sounds that are recognizable only as a vague gestalt of background exposure. The result is to evoke a nostalgic feeling for something that the listener is aware does not deserve to be remembered fondly, or at all. Pointing and saying "Ha! Isn't it ridiculous to be nostalgic for this pablum?" while wallowing in nostalgia for that exact pablum.

That part where they play backwards was so sick. They nailed it. So impressive to me.

Lully Loop is breathtaking
It might also be a fun experiment to give a recording to a vapor wave musician and let them have a go at it to see what they make out of it. Vapor wave squared could be a thing, no?

I think it is worth mentioning Zimmer's "inception" soundtrack ("Vaporwaving" Edith Piaf's "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" )

"An Empty Bliss Beyond This World" by The Caretaker is another great example of this effect. They apply the "fondly looking back to a world now inaccessible" to the theme of elderly dementia. It's the most gentle album that will ever hit you like a ton of bricks.

I think Staint Saens can be considered a vaperwave pioneer. 'Tortoises' from Carnival of the Animals takes the can-can melody from Offenbach's 'Orpheus in the underworld' and slowes it down and adds dream like chords to make a humoros and haunting piece.
Having grown up in the 80's, vaperwave always has me reaching for the invable cassette deck to save the tape from a horrific death! :) Great music and video!

Holy hell, David! That piece is absolutely beautiful. And the label of Vaporwave seems to fit like a glove. Big kudos to Daniel Hope and the Zürcher Kammerorchester as well

The best of vaporwave tends to invent "an old track" that doesn't yet exist, and then go through the entire process for it -- that you don't know what the source song is and while you try to figure out what it was, you can't know because it never existed. Its the hauntological concept pushed to its extreme.

There is a piece by Max Richter called "The New Four Seasons - Vivaldi Recomposed", which I believe is similar to the spirit of "classical vaporwave" described in this video. In this piece, Richter takes fragments of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", distorts and re-combines these fragments into a new piece. In many occasions the taken fragment is looped over and over again, such as in "Spring 3" and "Autumn 3". In "Spring 2" and "Winter 3" synthesizer drones are used to create an atmospheric effect.

The video game soundtrack from The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is also vaporwave in its own self-contained referential universe, distorting and altering melodies from past soundtracks into a new fresh form. Especially the day and night horse galloping themes, distorting classic Zelda melodies so much that they're almost indistinguishable and at times a brand new piece of music to the casual listener. In other words you don't always "know the difference" when it comes to vaporwave music.

’ve never gotten into classical music, but this whole approach, the history and the result are deeply enjoyable

Incredible to hear a classical composer like me having interests in Vaporwave, a genre I've been in love with for the past 7 years... That's crazy!❤

I really love the tension as the third movement starts to reverse, like you're hanging in the air about to plummet. And I was amazed they could even achieve that sound live!

I’m so glad you kept your son’s silly outro song from the last video, it’s fantastic :P
