the vaporwave resource network
We’re starting off the fall with a set of three cool-weather albums brought to you by ambient vaporwave/dreampunk artist telepath. The 仮想夢プラザ began in early 2015 as a way by which to explore long-form ambiance in the context of vaporwave music. In May 2015, three albums from the project dropped on the experimental label TKX Vault (an imprint of Dream […]

Recommendation: ☀☀☁ With the exception of the self-titled release (which is better viewed as a proof-of-concept album), the 仮想夢プラザ (Virtual Dream Plaza) series by telepath received its proper start with a series of three releases on TKX Vault over a span of ten days in May 2015.

Here’s another release in the Virtual Dreams Plaza project by telepath: 一夜をともにする. Contrary to the previous three releases in this installment – which were mostly synth drone pieces – 一夜をともにする revisits reverbed pop music that’s, dare I say, pretty vaporwave. This will definitely please fans of telepath’s early works; it’s available as a pay-what-you-want digital download. Check it out below: […]

The seventy-fifth release under telepath’s long-running 仮想夢プラザ (Virtual Dreams Plaza) project is now available. This release comes after the double feature of 仮初 and 破片 out on Dream Catalogue from mid-August, and it’s the second release under 仮想夢プラザ’s third installment.
