VECTOR GRAPHICS - POWER

Here is a really neat rack by another great vaporwave artist, Vector Graphics. I love how it brings in the authentic flavored samples of the detuned electric piano, as well as the deep, warm bass pick. These lower octave grooves are accented well by the detuned bells samples, pitched up a few octaves. Once again, it's a great example of how good music--music you can really keep listening to, even if it is somewhat repetitive, must have balance. One of the most commonly manipulated areas of musical balance are simply the frequencies of each phrase. By accomplishing this, the song has a heightened sense of completeness, that it was filled as much as it needed to be, but not too much. This is a fundamental of music that you see cross all genres of music, from classical to jazz to rock to brostep. Balance of pitch between notes, or even its imbalance, greatly affects how the listener feels about and interprets the musical ideas of the song, and I feel like Vector Graphics really accomplished this really well and brings us an genuine look back into the vibes of the 90's. Not to mention, I love the gif of Kazuya Mishima from Tekken! Fun fact, in case you all haven't caught on already: I absolutely love classic arcades! Seeing this really puts me back into the era of low and mid-polygon fighters, such as Tekken, which made their mark early on in the 90's. Enjoy!
