Her musical projects date back to 2004, but her first contributions to the style that is now vaporwave date back to 2011 (2010 if counting [[Telnet Erotika]].) Works by Vektroid are known for being releases under a multitude of aliases for separate styles. These are also contained in her own imprint "PrismCorp" to support the works being in a single timeline or universe of sorts. | ||

Albums in the series are often considered Vektroid’s most recognized project sonically. The series main theme seems to be telling of a corporate capitalist dystopia, with themes of mind control, virtual simulations and body transmigration. | ||

===''esc 不在''=== | |||
'''esc 不在''' (''esc absence'') is another more mysterious alias of Vektroid, publishing two releases on the same day and then ceasing activity. These releases were more new-age and high-fidelity in comparison to previous sampling projects by Vektroid (similar to Laserdisc Visions). Some tracks from this alias would appear in a remastered state on the album [[Initiation Tape: Isle of Avalon Edition]]. | |||

'''情報デスクVIRTUAL''' (''Information desk VIRTUAL'') is one of Vektroid's most vaporwave-resembling aliases in presentation, being her first use of Japanese text in an album name and tracklist.

One release was made under this name, which was later remade four years later, similar to multiple other Vektroid releases. Sacred Tapestry is known for its complex mixture of original production and sampling, a concept that would inspire the evolution of vaporwave years later. | ||
