aquatic vaporwave baby making music
imagine if you could play your memories like keys on a piano
I invented a genre called “aquatic vaporwave baby-making music” - originating from a wild remark by my friend Bonzo upon hearing my first demo of the song.
I wrote the song with code rather than a traditional composition. I’m not unlike many other budding electronic artists who are using their technical skills to branch out and create their own genres, many of them scaling to widesopread commercial success!
This has me thinking about the larger direction of our society, in which traditional career fields like software engineering are blending seamlessly with artistic crafts such as design, marketing and even music production.
I’m currently writing an essay based on a future in which we are all professional artists - able to automate the more rote aspects of careers and distill out time into creative functions.

I want to speak technically to the economics of this theory, so I’m still in the process of researching and writing.
But in the meantime, I just built this project on TouchDesigner that allows me to “play” the memories I wrote this song about, as if they were keys on a keyboard (which as I mentioned earlier, I ironically did not use.)
Nonetheless - I thought it was a good way to marry the final song with some technical whimsy that brought it to life in the first place :]
