69. 🧙‍♀️ dungeons, dragons, and synthesis: mages by color theory

Color Theory is a synthwave artist from Huntington Beach California with quite a discography to his name. His 12th LP, Mages, is an album that homages to the escapism of DnD, but also to the hardships, victories, and joys of life itself. It is a lyrically strong, honest, and tightly arranged 10 tracks that uses the nostalgic sounds of synthwave to express some very sincere sentiments. Let's set sail for Color Theory's Mages. New to The Virtual Ocean? Here's a bit more about our show: 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.
