released July 20, 2019

The Vapor Probe Series is a collaboration between DMT Tapes FL and doktorb. The releases that have been curated through this project were conceived by the individual artists as part of their participation in a PhD research project.

The Vapor Probe is an experiment in crowdsourced creativity, a reaction against the overwrought interpretations of supposed academic experts who have been too quick to project their own readings of political and culture significance onto vaporwave. In response, this project argues that real meaning can only be found in the personal experiences of those directly involved in the culture. To put this into practice the Vapor Probe has aimed to empower participants to explore their experiences and tell their own stories using their individual creative methodologies as research strategies. Embracing the meta, this is vaporwave turned in on itself, each album the end result of a long and iterative process of creative exploration, dissecting vaporwave on its own terms and using its own create language to talk about itself.

Vapor Probe is not intended to answer questions. It is not trying to impose any interpretations of what vaporwave is, what it means or why that matters. Instead, by bringing together a range of different aesthetic styles, creative visions and perspectives, this project hopes to open up a conversation within the community of the diverse possibilities and creative potential that exists unrealised in vaporwave’s future.


A Message from Devaso House:
The Phaser Manual was a concept album created from the interpretation and muse of the Vapor Probe Project. Initially it was to be a track per question asked, however there was multiple overlay, time constraints as well as artistic contraints. But even still I was able to manage quite a few tracks.

The best part about this album is the fact that it took a month to research and a weekend to produce. It is raw, but still edited heavily to incorporate my interpretation of the vaporwave genre. You will find some tracks that are simply lazy and some quite bizarre (that I listen to know and cannot figure out how I got that loop from that sample).

Regardless, here is the idea:

The Phaser Manual draws on heavy warped sounds which further emphasize my interpretation of vaporwave. That old VHS tape, the static from a cassette, the pasts' concept of the future. The past is all sort of muffled in a way and we never remember it the same as the person next to us. This album should draw influence from those broken memories and offer a track that portrays the middle of a story from the past. You will notice many of the tracks start and end, leaving the listener with a sense of missing intro and outro, however, they get to listen to the best part, or hook of the story.
