Equip and R23X's high fantasy music collaboration is firmly rooted in “vaporwave”—a movement based on re-contextualizing existing music (like funk, muzak, elevator music, etc) by sampling and slowing it down. Vaporwave might just be the most nostalgia-obsessed genre of music there ever was. Despite its plunderphonic roots, the community has expanded the confines of the genre's pioneering works beyond relying on sampling existing music. Equip & R23X mine nostalgia by approaching vaporwave music from a 90s fantasy game music composer's perspective, favoring a blend of real and synthesized-sounding orchestral timbres. And thus created music that sounds like it could be from an RPG on Super Nintendo, Sega Saturn, or Playstation 1.
