Background

Memory Vague compiles music videos sourced from YouTube videos and edited by Lopatin in Windows Movie Maker.[3] It collects several videos previously uploaded to YouTube via Lopatin's sunsetcorp channel, including the profile-raising videos "Angel" and "Nobody Here."[4] The DVD features several of Lopatin's "eccojams": audio-visual pieces which typically sample micro-excerpts of 80's sources and "slow them down narcotically" with effects such as echo and pitch shifting added in a manner reminiscent of chopped and screwed styles.[5][6] Due to the stylistic effects present in the project, it may be seen as one of the progenitors of the Vaporwave genre.
