The darkwave producer draws from vaporwave and techno to create an LP with polished melody and a touch of tension
The producer behind experimental synthesizer project AURAGRAPH is Hector Carlos Ramirez II, who originally became involved in the music scene through the hardcore and punk community active in Texas. Coming into contact with electronic music ignited a fascination for synthesizers and samplers, and set Ramirez to work on experimenting with electronica under a range of different aliases.
Ramirez set up AURAGRAPH a few years ago following a move to LA, venturing into themes of dark and vaporwave. The result has been pleasingly smooth, as the nostalgia brought in by vaporwave softens the colder electronica. AURAGRAPH’s talent for the muted ambience of darkwave is evident, but shimmering melodies and striking drum beats give energy to a neon atmosphere, and a unique injection of excitement.
Following on from composing and mixing for Netflix’s Stranger Things and collaboration with artists like S U R V I V E and Missions, AURAGRAPH is looking ahead to a fresh LP in early 2021. Containing nine new tracks and two remixes; ‘OPACITY FIELD’ will be released via vaporwave specialists Hiraeth Records and Midwest Collective. Of the two tracks released so far ‘Acid Disco’ is the more downtempo, mixing light melodies and gothic delivery.
