Show Notes

What does a perfect morning at an airport feel like? To those who are unaccustomed to travel, it sounds like an strange idea, and to those who are accustomed to travel, it's a straight up absurd idea. 

The airport is  a space that has undergone some strange moments in the past year, and Russian vaporwave artist Bronston Bridge channels that wanderlust fantasy into a beautifully composed chillwave album. Using beautiful synthesizer compositions, this record transports you to headspace where the airport is a place of pleasure, relaxation, and pure bliss.

Let's set sail for Bronster Bridge's Breakfast on the Runway.

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.
