The beauty of t e l e p a t h, in my opinion, is that he has become to the vaporwave genre what Picasso or Dali sort of were to the visual art. He doesn't roll with taking you into a certain atmosphere, providing you with some sort of context or giving you a pre-packaged idea of what his music is really about. He gifts you with a carefully edited, mellow and melodic, but vague and overly long song and leaves you to make your own peace with it. What you feel about the song is what the song is about. Whatever perception you are ready to give to the song is the meaning the song has. The songs themselves are chaotic, with so much heavy chorus that you can literally hear notes that rang 5 seconds ago. Their lyrics are muffled, bordering on unlistenable. The album covers are mostly abstract art, with an occasional asian woman popping here and there. But they still manage to evoke a deeper meaning, because of the way they are composed and presented. The songs are really about nothing, but at the same time about everything. And the only thing that limits them is your imagination.

I remember the first time I listened to telepath, It was 1 Am and I was reading a website future timeline that has predictions stretching far into the future. It was the most surreal experience for some reason, reading about the worlds technology developing to be unrecognisable while these chill tones played. Since then he’s been a standard listen for me, pure class

t e l e p a t h ‘s music did wonders for me while studying at the library on-campus late into the night when barely anyone was around… it was a very surreal experience, it really does make you lose track of time and personally helped me focus a lot better. Those are good memories.

T e l e p a t h is what inspired me to make vaporwave, his albums are beautiful.

I've had some epic moments while listening to t e l e p a t h .. running miles and miles of humanless beaches, bicycling deep into the empty desert... some of the most epic long songs I've ever heard.

I will never get tired of Another Night Together. It´s a masterpiece and my favourite album of all time at this point.

T e l e p a t h + B e d = Sweet Dreams (Do Hong Kong Express next)

Video should have been 11:11

maybe you should do a mystery video on waterfront dining’s samples because NOBODY seems to KNOW or TELL me where they COME FROM!! awesome video ☺️

Love t e l e p a t h, one of my favorite artists. Truly one of the vaporwave marbles and maybe one of the best contemporary ambient artists in my opinion. Thanks Pad. PAD BLESS P.S: Any other artist that you're interested in making an analysis video about?

I love listening to t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者's music. Whether it's his solo albums or his collab albums, he's one of the many important figureheads in the Vaporwave genre. As stated in the video, he pretty much brings something unique to the genre and is widely praised and recognized for this. He is most likely aware of this and prefers to remain anonymous whilst doing what he loves and allow the listeners to immerse themselves into his dreamscape of sound. I would expect nothing less from the individual themselves.

Ooo boy ... once again, where to start =D 1) Precedent - I have repeatedly stated that there is nothing new under the sun and there is often a precedent to what has been done before. This is not to take anything away from what he has done (far from it). But knowing what has come before can often better explain what is happening now (and can even open "new doors" so to speak). In this case, the one artist I think can be described as being a good precedent for t e l e p a t h is Steve Roach. He started in the early 1980s being influenced heavily by artists like Tangerine Dream and Vangelis. But, as the story goes, a near-fatal motorcycle accident helped defined his own sound and approach for the rest of his music-making. This is first shown in his 1984 album Structures from Silence, where it was an effort to bring a listener to that state he had sensed, which was very likely the "frozen in the moment" and "life flashing before the eyes". Later on, a journey in Australia would inform his sound again with the 1988 album Dreamtime Return and incorporate ethno-tribal sounds. (His peer and sometime mentor, Michael Stearns, also has a similar journey and result. He is best known for working with Ron Fricke on the music for Chronos, Baraka and Samsara). Steve Roach is insanely prolific - putting out as many as five or so albums a year - and has become one of those singular artists within the ambient realm. To sum up, even if he never heard of Steve Roach, I cannot help but hear the unspoken similarities between the two. In a way, I think both of them reached very similar conclusions about the power of music, which leads to ... 2) Music as meditation - All meditative practices have two essential components: concentration and mindfulness. The concentration comes from focusing on one task and one task only: breathing, mantra/chant, image, even music. By concentrating on one thing, you begin to be mindful of everything else around you, which means having enough awareness of that thing's existence but not too much as to lose focus. Maybe it's because I'm getting more and more interested in this, both personally and creatively, but I am seeing music as both a means of meditation and a way to illustrate it. In other words, it's an avenue upon which any listener can take and experience. I wouldn't be surprised if this is t e l e p a t h's goal. There is certainly demonstrations of this in the music itself: the long lengths (something else Roach has been known to do), the gradual changes and sonic drifts, the evocative imagery, the use of Japanese, etc. 3) Anonymity and creativity - I can only speak for myself. And for me, I make no mystery about making music and where to get it. While I use a moniker, I make no secret who is behind it. At the same time, the plus side of using one is to create that distance to where you are just listening to the music and not getting fixated on the person making it. At the same time, there is no mistaking who is making this. One thing I hear pretty often whenever I get feedback or a response to my own music is: "I can hear you" or "That's definitely you". Honestly, if it was 100% confirmed who he really is, I don't think that would take away from the aura of it *because* the music is so well-constructed. Take Pink Floyd for instance. Now, more than back then, it's very clear who the members were and generally what roles they play. And I do note this when I listen to their albums. But even with that knowledge, I still hear and respond to the music, and that is what should matter in the end. This is also how I "separate the art from the artist" for it's the music that creates the experience, not so much the musician. As Vangelis famously said once, "I function as a channel from which music emerges from the chaos of noise". Conclusion - there is certainly a lot *I* can say about t e l e p a t h and there are still some gaps in the discography. (And don't get me started on the mammoth task of dealing with Virtual Dream Plaza.). All in all, I'd say his reputation is well-earned and I'm glad he makes the music he does. In a way, he's the deep soul of the scene, a nice reminder that when the memes have faded and the novelty is gone, what truly remains is what matters. And that is beautiful. P.S. I still stand by ロストエデンへのパス [The Path to Lost Eden]. In fact, t e l e p a t h's side is a nice "short intro" to his sound and approach as well as refinement of his craft at that point.

Keep these vids coming Pad, needed a channel like this for a long time

Keep the vids coming PAD. This channel is my new fav

いつもそこに私のために (Always There For Me) by telepath is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. It resonates with my soul so perfectly. When I'm feeling down or uneasy, or I'm homesick I aways listen to that song. For me it evokes that feeling of tranquility and bliss you get while walking around your neighborhood and the sun is slowly setting. It takes me home with every listen ❤︎♡︎

Any kind of vaporwave takes me back to the early early 2000s or late 90s, thats why i love everything about it so much

I love that his identity is a mystery, maybe he is not a human but a dream in the Virtual Dream Plaza. t e l e p a t h 's music makes me feel many things. Amazing vid as usual.

Yeah this guy is genius. I've only heard birth of a new day and rain Temple, but it's so good

T E L E P A T H is the absolutely best in the genre and I can’t wait for their albums

t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者 is my favorite

Come on, Pad. We know it's been you all along ;-)

Just stumbled onto this channel. Really good stuff. I do feel like T e l e p a t h is important because he shows online music production is really one of the last fields where you can exist in total anonymity, but still be influential. Only letting your art speak for you. Something detached enough to still have a personality, but not show who's behind the mask.

Vaporwave is the greatest thing humanity has created

Your description of t e l e p a t h’s music in terms of its very slowly and gradually changing structures (leading you to only realize minutes later that something has changed) is brilliant and it reminds me so much of what I love about early Philip Glass pieces from the 60s, such as “Music In Twelve Parts” or “Music With Changing Parts” (and other “minimalist” composers of that era who did similar things). I wonder if t e l e p a t h was influenced/inspired by that sort of thing at all …

Copped the sweater and this came out not too long after, this looks like the start to a good day!

Gosh dang, I'm totally hooked on t e l e p a t h now thanks to you Pad. His music is a kind of feeling that is hard to put into words. I particularly like アンタラ通信 and Every Time I See Your Eyes. Keep up the good work man!

I fucking love Telepath

T e l e p a t h = King of Vaporwave

Your videos are a work of art 💟

I love t e l e p a t h テレパシー能力者. I just wish he would consider another Virtual Dream Plaza. Y'know, with the 2016 releases. Edit: *cassette box

telepath is a musical genius.

I'M BUYING THAT CREWNECK AS SOON AS I CAN.

Excellent video pad 🌊 anonymity is key

I remember when in 2019 I played an roblox game called "BEAR alpha" So there was playing a telepath music I wondered what is that music come from. In 2021 I finally found it where it come from, of that i started listening more Telepath song and Vaporwave ones. But Sometimes I find it creepy to me . Telepath is more like - Television Path These songs gives me the Nostalgia, Vibes, or even...

Considering I have 3 albums by 2814 on the way you can say I like the ambient side of vaporwave. Telepath is so good to just put on and calm your brain. I struggle with feeling like my brain is overactive and the ambience of the tracks helps get my brain on one track. I think that's why I like music in general, but lyrical music can effect that line of thought and change emotions. I considered going on a diatribe about the beauty of humans and our ingrained connection to music but I realized most have probably already heard the spiel.

My favourite track of him is "moment of love" 18 minutes long and it's fantastic

Telepath’s music is like the audible representation of surreal dreams.

the background ambience on this vid was amazing.

Absolutely love this video!!! Definitely worth waiting for, t e l e p a t h really is something different, but so beautiful

This is awesome, I'd really love an hke video :)

Nice video, but the title is rather misleading. I thought the video was going to be about WHO telepath was and how he came to be, not his musical style and ways of production.

i love how passionate you are about this genere of music. I enjoy watching your videos.

I’ve been listening to t e l e p a t h for about a few years now but just got into the vaporwave scene. It definitely makes sense that he is considered to be one of the best.

"Musical patience" is really a key word to describe t e l e p a t h 's works. His songs keep you listening patiently and full of expectation while creating beautiful images and emotions, and you just want them to remain as long as possible.

Please don't stop making these videos,I love your channel :3

antara is definitely his best song for me

The real reason he is able to keep us hooked and stops us from getting bored is because he is a telepath.

I listen to telepath. I love it

Can you do a video about telan devik?

When I have the trouble of remembering my deep night dreams in the morning, Telepath shows me a map to that stream. The personal images of my unconcious pop up again for me to write them down, It makes the reality heavy as in a dream state.

Love your narrations, your channel is a genre of commentary in itself.

first off, i really missed out on that longsleeve. second, i had heard a few telepath songs that i really liked prior to watching this video the first time. after watching i had to do a listen double-take which only made me delve deeper for more telepath. months later ive come back to watch this video to see if there was something i was missing and was inevitably mistaken. telepath became my all time favorite vaporwave artist without me even realizing it and i find nothing wrong with this

I've never listened to telepath but now I'm exicted. Pad you're a great introduction for me to delve deeper into the genre

Pad not sure how I never discovered this video until today. thanks for your thoughtful indepth dissection of certain aspects of TP's methods. well done, bro. I missed my exit driving to work one day rinsing a Chinese Set track and didn't realize until 17 minutes later. (True Story). stay pure, bro.

an amazing video as always. im going to be honest, i wasn't a fan of t e l e p a t h at first. but after listening to some of his albums, i feel some sort of beautiful concept to him/her. my most favorite albums from his/her is 夢の国 (country of dreams) and two collaborative albums with agia and nmesh. i always have some sort of strange nostalgic nighttime presentation with those albums. it's pretty relaxing

I remember replying I will always love you all day at work and I never got bored of the song

t e l e p a t h is an absolute genius. I didn't truly understand how special his treatment of samples was until I listened to one of his mastepieces (一见钟情 - 虚拟梦想广场) and compared it to Internet Club's \ 空气+空间 ///. These two songs use the same fundamental sample, but while Internet Club created a nice and glitchy vaporwave song, t e l e p a t h managed to turn that same sample into one of the most beautiful and trascendental pieces of music I have ever heard. I cry almost every time I listen to 一见钟情 (around the time when it hits the 13 minute mark), it's almost unbelievable to me that it was created from the same sample as the Internet Club song. I don't mean to say that Internet Club is bad (they are a fantastic and groundbreaking artist in their own right), but I just wanted to highlight how amazing t e l e p a t h is when it comes to create hypnotic, dreamlike soundscapes. Great video as always Pad, although I think you could have highlighted t e l e p a t h's obsession with the topic of love, since I think it's one of the most important aspects of his discography.

* T e l e p a t h * is the best vaporwave artist ever

Great video, I’m new to your channel and I appreciate your work very much in the vaporwave community. Did you get your hands on a orange or transparent Flamingo Funk Vol.1? I manage to get myself a transparent during my lunch break today, someone must have cancelled their order from the first minutes of the release. I’m so happy! (This will be my first ever vaporwave vinyl) Greetings from S W E D E N

shadribblel is still to this date the best vaporwave track I've heard

Yes! Great new video and sexy new merch to accompany!

I will have to listen to this now, thanks Pad

Spoiler alert🚨 His real name is Luke Laurila, he lives in Ohio USA…

Amazing video! I've always had a dreamy/hazy feeling when it comes to listening to t e l e p a t h. His work really give me visuals that are just so satisfying to me. Could we try to do サイバー '98?? Both are literally my top favorite artists, that inspired me to want to create vaporwave myself!

I loved the platinum card hyper market sound track in the video. A very rare mallsoft album. That’s one of my favorite albums.

you should review some vｉｎｃｅｎｔＲｅｍｅｍｂｅｒsongs!! he's really underrated imo and he has a dystopian style that reminds me of t e l e p a t h's

Godamn! only seeing that crewneck now i woulda bought that immediatly oh well

His work as Lovers Entwined is some of the best music I've ever heard, period.

Great video. My favorite is probably Virtual Dream Plaza - Dream in the Water. 31 minutes of bliss

Only really understood t e l e p a t h after listening to all of VDP for long hours on the train to and from work. Being from a metal background, I've found it very hard trying to explain to friends the appeal and aesthetic of VW. I've even wanted to bring elements of the aesthetic of VW over to my metal projects because it's 90% of what I listen to. I will always love and appreciate the anonymous aspect of the genre and understand completely artists who take this approach when confronted with an industry which chews up and spits out so many forgettable artists.

Shout out to telepath for saving my sleep schedule

broo ever since I started listening to vaporwave I've wondered a lot about telepath and who would they be, this was the video I didn't know I was expecting. It's kind of contradictory that this genre is driven forward by an embracing of technology and retrofuturistic stuff yet telepath doesn't abide by the rules of this virtual world, and that makes it even more cool. Have you heard about bodyline? He's one of my favourite vaporwave artists and I wonder what do people think of his music.

Nice! Keep it up pad !

Nice vid pad !

Interstellar Love is one of the best things i've got the pleasure to hear, the very opposite of a ear rape. Telepata é foda!

Hey Pad, have you ever thought about doing a video on memewave?

I want t e l e p a t h for Flamingo Funk Vol. 2

Your channel gives me life

great job, pad

I have good memories every time I listen to him, that's why I love him

ｔｅｌｅｐａｔｈ is just amazing with albums

i fall asleep underneath my birth of a new day tapestry every night for peaceful, ambient dreams (this sounds like a joke but it's really not lol). also i'm in love with the telecrew design, I'm super stoked to get mine in the mail

So basically, the way you described it, it's a similar premise to minimalist composition (Phillip Glass, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, etc.). Gradual, undetectable changes through repetition over an elongated period of time.

T e l e p a t h is the one who got me into vaporwave, and got me into making vapowave myself

Please, for the love of Vaporwave, do something, ANYTHING with 骨架的, such an amazing artist.

Well that was a very good video

This is interesting and I ordered the FFV1 yesterday and when I was done with my purchase it was sold out. Also Pad what did you think of the extra 400 white copies that the had for sale as a contingency ? Those did not sell as fast but when I got up this morning they were gone. Truly as desired album and man I can't wait for it to get here. Thank you pad for making me aware of this and the other facets vaporwave.

I saw t e l e p a t h at Electronicon last night. I was so excited to see him and to see who he is, but he wore a mask on stage. I thought of this video, the music was amazing though.

can we have a video with that spinning piano

You learn something every day.

Great video. What is the bg music please?

may I know who is 死夢VANITY? I really love his style T_T

i got auto-generated japanese subtitles for some reason, but im keeping them for the aesthetic

how to telepath: step 1 - loop a sample like a regular vaporwave song step 2 - slow down to 30 minutes step 3 - put 5 overdoses of both reverb and phaser done

T e l e p a t h needs to collab with Oneohtrix Point Never and or Nmesh. That would be sick,

Under rated channel but the best vaporwave is under rated many times too

i found this video months after the release of that crewneck, i wish i could’ve gotten one :(

Telepath is making music fractals

master of dreams
