In the ocean 650 miles south of Tokyo...The pacific ocean once again proves inspiration for an all out Smackos sonic trip.
Performed on a Kawai K4 synthesizer, of which its sparkling synthetic harp-like sounds are legendary. But lets not forget the hard work of the mighty EMU EMAX II '16 bit digital soundsystem'...its sweet warm 1988 digital filters outclassing many of its analog peers.

The sort of music that is beyond time.
The sort of music that you feel more than you hear.
I love the fact that vaporwave/dreampunk projects like these have such extremely evocative aesthetics they directly fill your mind with sensations you didn't know you had. You'd maybe think it relies on that solely, but it's coupled with gorgeous musicianship + intense production ideas. The volume and spaces it creates just pull you in instantly whatever your initial mood was.
Still stunning to this day. SUPRAQUENCER
