Virtual Anticipation is the first studio album by American artist Ben Aqua. It was released as a digital album on February 18, 2014 through #FEELINGS.[1]
Virtual Anticipation was in production for over three years,[1] and included the title track from Aqua's debut EP, Reset Yourself. He described the album concept as "loosely about a sense of anxiety, happiness, fear, alienation and excitement I've felt as a result of years of endlessly analyzing how the Internet and technology are influencing ideas of self-identity, sexuality, privacy, 'immortality,' and fantasy". The album was composed of audio samples from field recordings, Nintendo DS, YouTube videos, and iPadsynthesizer apps.[2]
In a 2014 interview with Ben Aqua, VICE Thump called Virtual Anticipation "an opus that taps everything from footwork and club to seapunk and skweee, and pulls it all together with a post-human outlook". They described the album as having a "combination of classical elements and up-to-the-minute synth sounds".[2]
