Porter Robinson’s Virtual Self returns with the video for ‘Ghost Voices’, unlocking the next chapter in an ever growing universe of future nostalgia. Cloaked in darkness and ephemera, the Porter Robinson-directed clip takes viewers further into the world of its’ characters, Pathselector and technic-Angel, pulling back the curtain, only to unearth more questions surrounding the project’s mythology.
A concept predicated on the influences of his youth, with Virtual Self, Robinson taps an affinity for early 2000’s visual aesthetic, looking to “combine three tropes from the period that didn’t overlap much at the time: digital abstract, arcane magic design, and digital grunge, all into a single early-aughts flavor”, a thematic thread which weaves through both the project’s sonic and visual identities.
