This is such an insanely ambitious and technical song. It captures everything I love about electronic music as a whole. There's so many genre switches and style changes. Every section just makes sense. This is like musical savant-type work. I can't even fathom what went into making this.
love this description. all the switches that just flow so perfectly, like even if you weren't ready for what's next you were made ready in a way. it really is insane to think one human being is capable of this level of musical dreamweaving lol
This is to this day my favourite song ever. I can't say why, I don't listen to any other similar music, naturally more of a DnB nerd. This song just does something to me.
You are right except that majority of the drops are half time so more like dubstep, but there is some breakbeat going on near the end before that hard-core drop.
That's what I wanted, not a project with an album released on a precise date, but a full growing project with new tracks every once in a while, new concepts, new ideas, that's one freaking cool idea.
it only seems like a new idea if its a well known artist doing it and one only listens to well known artists. no offense to his success, its deserved, but still
that's most internet-based artists. it's actually a very common concept, ther are dozens of full labels that simply make single songs for compilation releases.
I found the Easter egg in Beat Saber that unlocked this song to be played. I was in love with the song and wasn't even aware of who made this song. Of course it was Porter.
Whoa whoa whoa. This is Porter Robinson? Like from Shelter? You're telling me Shelter and the best song from Beat Saber is from the same person? Mind--and I cannot stress this enough--blown.
This has to be one of the most complex songs I’ve have ever heard. There’s so much details and layers to it. I think the track opened the gate for a new genre it’s like a trance track with modern fast BPM melodies; a little bit of drum and bass at the end and a old school happy hardcore/ rave track. Such refreshing to hear a track so different than the rest. Probably the best track I’ve heard in many many years... it’s just massive.
If you like diversity, you should really check out Camellia. He is mostly active in Hardcore and more fast paced music, but his tracks practically evolve within themselves. e.g. Flower of Wilderness; Flying in the flow of deep sea; ......
No offense but.. This is done in Japan for a few years now.I suggest you to go and take a listen at those two songs : 回性二階席 ～STRAIGHT～ (Betwixt & Between Remix) and 一回性二階席 ～STRAIGHT～ (Jerico Remix)
@@johnp9916 It is tho. Extroverts and ambiverts can like this type of music too. Constantly talking about "oh my god I'm such an introvert" just makes you look like a wannabe special snowflake.
Porter, thank you for bringing versatility, breaks and the journey back into the mainstream. I think virtual self is the best music you've ever put out. Thank you for not selling out and following b******* trends like most other major EDM guys. You are awesome brother
Here there's Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, Psycho-pass. Great work of yours and great vibes. So much sci-fi in this album, I'm gonna love it (as always).
People say edm is dead. Song makers are. And Porter Robinson is a necromancer, using his music to raise the rest of them up from their slumber and inspiring them to create works of art.
Tf you mean EDM is dead? EDM are never dead, and EDM is not a genre...Any electronic based music is EDM...That's like saying Violet & Piano are dead because no one making orchestral music anymore...Dumb af statement! 🤦🏻♂️
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS ON THE EXPRESS WAY!!! Felt like we were about to warp the virtual gates of heaven willingly that ending was so epic!
@@jakemckown7195 That makes sense cuz porter emulated the old vibe of trance visuals. People really don't make these anymore except for some rare gems like virtual self
This give me chills, the sounds are amazing. And the aesthetics exudes such an inspiration from sci-fi animations like ghost in the shell and texhnolyze, I love it sooo much 💘
Porter made everyone happy with this track especially with at 5:25 for the hard heads out there, it flows so nicely. Something that would go off the dancefloor for sure
Beat sabers actual library was pretty lacking. All i could find were 4 songs i could vibe too. But this was the only one i permanently added to my playlist.
songs like turn me on, rum n' bass, origins, and most of the camellia songs are bops for me. This song is really good too, it's just that the expert+ map of this is terrible and ruins it for me
Funny how porter started making edm, explored new sounds and helped give rise to genres that eventually left edm in the dust, and then brought it back in a non-conventional way. You could say he made edm rise from the dead
I sincerely hope that for all that is holy in this world that you please, never stop creating as and being Virtual Self. This music means so much to me. It's literally the most perfectly beautiful and utterly bad ass combination of soundscapes that are encompassed that completely satisfies and mesmerizes my heart and soul.
I need more. I want porter to do what he lvoes but I really hope he loved and had fun as this project so much, maybe an LP next. 7 songs, go crazy with the breakcore and speedcore influences, more euphoric trance anthems, just fuck my shit up fam.
I was never the biggest fan of hardcore but I liked some of it. This is phenomenally produced, from the sound design to the progression, to the originality.

The whole thing is rigged to be honest.
It's not an album

nice i make DnB sometimes ngl no cap
A mix of Trance, Dnb, and Hardcore...with a modern twist, all in one song. Who else but Porter 🙌
more like breakcore
Nixo NS And Breakcore is DnB, so...
Sounds like anything of live sets of aphex Twin but with trance...
You are right except that majority of the drops are half time so more like dubstep, but there is some breakbeat going on near the end before that hard-core drop.

Absolute bonkers of a set.

This goes even harder in 2021, this may become the anthem of future algorithms producing music, one of my favourites ever with ghost voices.
The last two minutes of this was one of the most impressive things I've ever heard from Porter, holy fuck.
