Marble Surf

by James Ferraro

Originally released on a highly limited cassette run, this early solo outing showcases the artist's obsession with degrading fidelity and cultural detritus. The instrumental tracks loop heavily washed-out synthesizers and simulated wave sounds, creating a remarkably peaceful, albeit artificially constructed, ambient seascape. It served as a critical aesthetic stepping stone toward the emerging vaporwave movement.
