Chillwave/Glo-Fi

this sample based genre is a fairly new genre that is becoming more and more popular, while staying very low key and underground. The sampled vocals and loops and ambient/dreamy sounds make these songs very easy listening and pleasant to the ear. they give off some great vibes. the vocals seem to play the background and harmonize with the song itself and usually you’re not even sure what the vocals say, they become an instrument so to speak. i have been asking around and mentioning this genre for the past couple months now, and i’ve been so curious to know how it is made, how the sounds are created, how the atmospheric ambience comes about. Maybe we can get a tut. on this from Phil Chris! br
