A name closely associated with the earliest origins of vaporwave, Seattle based multi-instrumentalist producer and creator 회사AUTO has unleashed over thirty albums since 2011. Other aliases include Tech Noir, Saint Pizza, and Zaturn Valley. Plugged into the vapor scene and beyond, albums have landed on labels such as Pacific Plaza, Halcyon Tapes, Ailanthus Recordings, Fortune 500, Illuminated Paths, Dream Catalogue, and Plastic Response Tapes. Fresh conceptual ideas are executed utilizing an array of analogue, synth, and sample-based instruments and tend to blend genre, culture, time, and space. Each musical piece explores themes such as trans-humanism, singularity, cyberpunk, East Asian futuristic imaginings, and personal memories of Afroeurasian / American global travel. Tracks tend to emit a hyperlocal Pacific Northwestern warmth coupled with a bleak fright of international dystopian isolation. Music for homesick introverted wanderers and hopeful existential lovers. Fogginess and mystery approach the listener akin to a fisherman on the banks of Sekiu, Washington discovering a dead alien washed ashore. Each song leaves an open narrative for the listener to discern and interpret, in what proves to be a mysterious but unpredictably emotive soundscape of vibration.
