creative_reality17 - A Midsummer Night's Dream (2018)

 


Artist: creative_reality17
Album: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Location: London, United Kingdom
Genres: Vaporwave, Downtempo, Trip Hop
Year Released: 2018
Date Re-found / Posted: 2023-08-18
Format(s) Released: Bandcamp

Explanation:

I have no idea who this is. What had happened was I saw a post on /r/vaporwave, months, maybe years ago about someone looking for this record. Some vaporwave e-celeb made a video where he shouted this record out for having good cover art. I checked the video, he just talks about its art without playing a sample and he overanalyzes the cover, finding messages where there clearly were not.

And at some point, this guy just vanished. Can't find any explanation as to why, there wasn't some standoff, guy just deleted his Bandcamp and dipped. I can hardly find anyone even discussing his disappearance excluding that one reddit post. I figure this occurred in 2020.

I had it saved, I’m sure of it. So when I finally found the record, I could not find the post to give it to him. Whatever. Maybe he found it and deleted it. Who knows, or cares?

However, to make things even more strange I have been unable to find that reddit post either. It was either removed by mods or the guy deleted it himself. I'm not making it up. I personally can't stand when artists don't use proper capitalization, and as such creative_reality17 is not someone whose music I would have considered listening to.

His music is survived by various p2p sites and a few labels which still have some select work up. According to RYM he had about 27 albums, the vast majority of which were on his Bandcamp exclusively.

The music itself is pretty good. No idea if it's sampled but it reminds me a lot of that 'warm glow sound' that YouTube had in the early 2010s (basically the music of Jake Chudnow). It was hypnotic and beat-driven, not really vaporwave all that much. Cover is nice though. I do agree with that YouTuber.

Reasons for Disappearance: Guy deleted his Bandcamp. There's no more information I have. Could've been copyright issues. Could've been stolen. Guy could've given up. Could've been covid since he did vanish in 2020. We don't know and probably will never know.

Rap Bastard / DJ Dog Dick - Split (2004)

  Artist: Rap Bastard / DJ Dog Dick Album: Split Location: Baltimore, USA / Genres: Abstract Hip Hop, Sound Collage, Noise Year Released: 2004 Date Re-Found / Posted: 2023-08-?? (recovered by tib) Format(s) Released: Cassette Explanation: I'll admit I know very little about both artists. DJ Dog Dick, real name Max Eisenberg is a noise artist who I mostly know about from a few collabs with rapper Lil Ugly Mane. 'Rap Bastard', aka HZMT I know actually nothing of. When I added this release to my list is was mainly to illustrate just how many lost releases there is for Eisenberg. He released most of his stuff cassette only, and even though he was ahead of the curb, never got much attention cause of that. As I was writing this, I looked into HZMT / Rap Bastard / Anthony Miller and damn does he have a lot of missing and undocumented releases. He ran his own label and released almost everything exclusively on cassette. A true indie artist. Both artists really have large catalogues...

The Convulsions of Creation - Moonba Is Here (1995)

  Artist: The Convulsions of Creation [Chris Shepard & Mike Mangino] Album: Moonba Is Here Location: Piscataway, USA Genres: Cassette Underground, Sound Collage, Drone, Noise Year Released: 1995-xx-xx Format(s) Released: Cassette Explanation: Atlas King is a label I have been tracking for years now. Home to the noise duo, Smersh it was active in the Cassette Underground releasing all sorts of weird tapes. This is one of them. Almost all the acts on Atlas King were just akas of Smersh but unlike the duo, the non-Smersh releases experimented with electronic, noise and other genres. The Convulsions of Creation is one such project, a side-thing by Smersh messing more with drone and sound collage. This release is okay. I'm sure someone will enjoy it more. When it comes to noise I don't like ear-splitting sounds. The first track has a few. It's this dissonant, vaguely "Eastern" sounding drone with rattles and some high-pitched sounds. The second and third track are ...

305 808 & N0ϟPΔ☾ƎΔPƎ - Sons of God (2013)

  Artist: 305 808 & N0ϟPΔ☾ƎΔPƎ Album: Sons of God: The Most Outer Place Location: Miami, USA Genres: Witch House Rap, Witch House, Trillwave Year Released: 2013 Format(s) Released: Bandcamp Explanation: I'll admit. This is not my cup of tea. Not only do I know very little about these artists I know even less of who they collaborated with. I only know of this from a RYM list I saw where someone mentioned they were looking for this album. All I know about NoSpaceApe is that he was an artist active in the Witch House Rap scene that existed in the early 2010s. The one Black Kray is often considered the founder of. I know absolutely nothing of 305 808. I can't find any info either. This is a Witch House Rap album, with lots of loud distortion, slurred and incomprehensible lyrics and edgy and dark song titles and sounds. In theory I should like it but as I wrote, it's just not for me. I could just write a whole review on how much I didn't like it but ehn. I don't have...
