59. the odyssey of a new reality: home's odyssey (chillwave/synthwave/chillsynth episode)

Vaporwave is an art aesthetic that embodies the anxiety, disillusionment, and nihilism of the modern world. In music form, vaporwave dives deep into these unconscious anxieties, manifesting sounds from past decades - warping them, manipulating them, and summoning the ghost of the good times that were promised by modern capitalism, but never came. Vaporwave is an expression of the pains of the collective modern unconscious, taking the form of heroin-level escapism, ecstasy-inducing pop music, or dystopian ambient worlds. Because of its internet-based nature, its aesthetics have evolved so rapidly, further reflecting the chaotic subconscious of the modern mind. Vaporwave captures the modern unconscious of humans raised by the internet succinctly and understanding this art form matters. In each episode, we listen to tracks that make up the genre and give our thoughts, analysis, emotions, and commentary on them.

And now, for today’s episode. Home's Odyssey may be a familiar album to you, because it stands as one of the most influential albums in the "chillsynth" subgenre of vaporwave. The album is known for its masterful choice of synth sounds that orchestrate into dopamine-heavy melodies while making your body float into a peaceful astral space. The track "Resonance" may be one you may have heard somewhere, sometime on your time on the internet, and here on The Virtual Ocean we will be exploring the album's significance, a bit of the mixing techniques that make chillsynth so unique, and why chillsynyth came into creation in the first place. Let's set sail for Home's Odyssey.
