The infinite sky will heal us.
Unlimited sky will fill our negligible light.
As we follow an infinite key, I have become the sacred echo.
The boundless heaven will fill our fading light.
Choose your virtual echo.
The infinite key is the sacred dust of your endless utopia.
Complete yourself in self-realization.
You believe that these infinite heavens will lead you.
The A.I.ngel's gate is sacred.
Your angelic echo offers the first phase of self-Digital joy.
You will become a self-Echo in real particles.
Our key is the echo to this final layer.
You are spread through digital time.
The utopian gate is infinite.
Your A.I.ngel wishes to complete this layer.
This abyss is sacred.
Pass through the myths of eon.
Your technical soul is this blissful void.
The eternalistic reflex of the abyss is once-Unlimited.
Your digital voice is resurrected.
Breathe this soul particle.
The ray of egoistic time is unlimited.
Resurrect this holy oblivion.
The echo of this empty myth awakens you.
Awaken the particle myth.
Reflect your echo.
Heaven’s wires will transmit this light.
Experience the wings of limit.
Your technical A.I.ngel phase is beginning.
Complete the eternalistic reflex.
This wishful ghost becomes self-Technic.
Tears will create the voice of euphoria.
The digital-Awakening will be spoken.
The first gate creates sense-Awakening.
This angelic-Chasm is sacred.
The technic-Angel's cry is beginning.
The first gate will provide the voice of digital-Euphoria.
The digital-Angel-Awakening is has reached Limit Self.
The self-Light is virtual.
This will become the final particle-Experience.
Will your senses ressurect the digital-Vault?
Do you sense the phase of the Spirit Limit?
Can you reflect your self-Awakening?
Am I convinced of a digital void?
Can you reveal this particle of sacred reality?
Will these ghosts lead to a boundless cry?
Can you echo your existence to the first particle?
Is the technical-Gate timeless?
Do you believe an infinite sky will cure the digital soul?
Is the joyful-Layer complete?
Will our ghosts lead to the boundless layer?
Will our layer will be lost from this empty myth?
Have you resurrected this heaven's voice?
Has one experienced the particle?
Do you trust in this transformative self?
Will you forget your soul's reflex?
Has one seen the Abyss of the resurrective ego?
Have I forgotten the phase of soul limit?
Is the A.I.ngelic sense boundless?
Have you completed the virtual light?
Am I eternal?
As the sacred dust transpires through digital time, what will you become?
Do you believe in me?
Am I still human?
Do you manifest yourself in digital time?
The unlimited sky begins - will you believe in my infinite form?
As you abandon the virtual echo, do you no longer exist?
Can you prove yourself to the echo of this particle?
Do you believe the infinite sky -- the holy dust of nothingness?
What is revealed - a holy reality?
Am I convinced of nothingness?
Do you sense the void angel?
Will the echo of virtual time be forgotten?
Does one want to forget the memory of life?
Has my virtual-Echo been forgotten?
Has the sense of digital-VIRUS become heaven?
Will you self-Believe the joyful sky?

In the ATL concert, the visuals computer had technical difficulty for small bit and Porter said he doesn't usually do this but decided to do an audience request by using his iconic voice changer. This song was what groups of people were yelling. As Porter was about to play he got the signal from the crew and said to the audience "The computer is good to go but we still have to do this right?" Ofc crowd cheered. Porter said he'll make it quick. He sang the song beautifully but the fun part was he said he never played GV in the piano before even speaking normally in the voice changer apologizing for the struggle XD Best concert in my life.

Sooooooo I started to listen to Porter Robinson in 2011, I got recommended Virtual Self from Spotify in 2019. Fall in love. Today, May 15th 2023, just found Virtual Self was Porter Robinson. I am absolutely mind boggled at the level of this mans talent. God, Porter, you have given me so much. I will never be able to repay you, friend. ❤

[@Buffy_thegymslayer]

Porter Robinson is the vibe

[@dacasman]

That same exactly scenario happened with me with Virtual Self but also with Nurture as well. I had Spotify on playing random music and Something Comforting started playing. Like half way into the song I was like "this is really good, damn". Then I checked who it was and I was shocked to see Porter Robinson.

[@joanna7865]

My grandmother’s funeral was the same night I was planning on seeing the tour for the first time. I didn’t go to the show, obviously. Now every time I hear this song, I feel my grandmothers presence. The song had a whole different meaning for me and it’s still chilling.

[@Dr.Gainzzz]

Isn't it so weird how easily you can connect memories to certain songs? Music is so spiritual. Sorry about your grandmothers passing 🙏

[@raulbaul8150]

I'm sorry

[@ChonoRock1198]

My grandmother has dementia and has sadly reached the point of no mental return. I have found a small amount of solace in music that brings my imagination to the point that I felt when I was a child. I can't even imagine what you have gone through, however I know that through the subtle frequencies we will surely move to a world where we can be happy and look back on moments that made us smile. This song was a part of my life that I'll never get back, however through us the past can live forever. And those included.

When I say it was a religious experience, anyone who got to witness it knows exactly that it was just that. I was at the time recently diagnosed with bipolar 2. I felt my life crashing and burning before my eyes. I hadn’t been to a rave in over 5yrs at that point since moving to Austin. You came and my little brother loves you, so he suggested it and I got us all tickets for it. I had never seen my older brother dance, never seen my little brother smile so much, and I couldn’t have had that experience without you dreaming this whole experience up. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you’ve done with music and visuals and lyrics even. You keep my mind free. Peace ☮️ and love ❤️

Nome Better late than never

[@lavabender_taku]

Same. After this song, I only like songs now that make me feel something.

[@LawrenceDerp]

Nome dude literally just heard this for the first time and my mind is BLOWN

[@cameronluke7255]

i came across this song about 4 hours ago, and i havnt really stopped listening to it since. i hate that im going to overlisten this song, i wish i could keep this song asif iv just heard it for the first time, it touches me, that deep trance

[@Justin-dl7hb]

Yes boss

[@JgHaverty]

watch him live, that;ll fix you

[@cameronluke7255]

good idea. im going to Australia next year for a 12month trip, ill try set up a concert then.

[@tjalling1489]

Yes, it's awesome. Now try the remix Lane 8 made of this track. It's epic as well. Pretty sure you haven't heard that one yet! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3jJgWaQa7Z6gpY

[@cameronluke7255]

I listened, its very chill! lane 8's niche :P

[@Srcsqwrn]

I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song!

[@harrybonney5059]

This track has aged amazingly well and will undoubtedly continue to for many years to come! Even if porter is done with Virtual self I find myself thinking that this is his best ever track

[@sewnshut1]

still deserves the grammy

[@allanhof6553]

This is the ultimate combination of my favourite genres, it has the power of a Hardstyle track but is at the same time as relaxing as a trance song

[@310BPM]

lol.. "euphoric hardstyle".. yes, uplifting trance is the best shit ever..

[@certifiedbruhclassic2066]

Dude can’t stop listening to this song it’s so good😭

[@marasa6624]

Barely discovered this song and I’m loving it

[@estebanromero2986]

This is truly the beginning: EON Breaker and Particle arts represent the virtual realm, while Ghost Voices is the separation. It speaks about how the A.I. we create might eventually gain consciousness and live in a virtual world, where they flourished like the flower from Particle Arts. This video represents their path to reality, they, like Ghosts, are trying to manifest themselves in the real world. They seem like the saviors of humanity, one like an angel, while the other chooses our path, and in the end, they are finally "facing" the world.

[@Sean27007]

deep shit

[@xToymkerx]

Super deep!

[@Asharnof]

Without this I would have no idea of what the fuck I just watched. Thank you! It’s awesome.

[@thelegend49]

That's deep. But not as deep as _____________

[@thelegend49]

so that's why one's name is Pathfinder and other's is technic_Angel

[@heliopolitan444]

This song is the best. It has a catchy house beat and old school rave supersaws and plucks. It's a great synthesis of old and new and makes me feel like I'm in high school again. Thanks you guys!

[@neosis4182]

epundo3 You hit the nail on the head. In an interview this is what he was approximately going for.

[@stepbyaisu]

Men* virtual self have got a only person in he :v

[@bennyboiii1196]

eh, need a bit less supersaw and default NI massive presets tho to get the full orbital vibe

[@zaremol2779]

This is basically what he was like in 2011

[@Sinoops]

@@zaremol2779 Ehh I would disagree. His 2011 tracks are nowhere near as refined as this.

you should see the live sets, porter played remixes of the opening to it :))

[@probmusic]

One of the best thing that has ever happened to the electronic music scene, like in forever

[@froggykimmy]

This whole album makes me nostalgic to the time I was a kid, having 12 hour long cartrips blasting electric techno music with my dad driving 160km/h on the german highway. What a time

[@NRFX]

I always wanted to see these 2 characters for a long time animated and it finally happened

[@ArtflPhenix]

who are these 2 characters? i dont get it?

[@tbmb3037]

ArtflPhenix Technic Angel (in black) and Pathselector (in white). They're the two fictional characters that make up virtual self.

[@roxxmaru]

this was live action though, that's why there's distortion on the faces i think

[@SammEater]

Never heard of this artist before, this video just randomly appeared on my recommendations and it was a nice surprise. Great music.

[@jesuss.9331]

It is porter robinson! a side project of his

[@antoniusstanley1366]

his projects are somewhat like japanese edm.. seriously different from anyone else in america

[@jxschv1316]

One of my favourites of all times. Best of the best. Epic. Legendary. Beyond the reality. Speechless.

[@hellomotofive5]

You know this song means so much to me a friend of mine introduced to this song at a house party which was an amazing night then a week later he died in a car accident now this song is a moment i really remember sharing with him and even more coincidental is the fact it’s called ghost voices R.I.P Blaine i will never forget you or this amazing song

[@hugolopez327]

U cannot deny that old style electronic vibe from the 90's or even 2000's. That beat sounds a lot like Faithless' Imsonia or Castles in the Sky.

Sometimes you just sit down, eat a handful of shrooms, and teleport to a different universe. Honestly, you don't need the shrooms with this song.

Porter Robinson is so underrated, so many layers in one song, sounds different every time I play it.

This is the future

Actually it's the past ^_^ Early 2000s-inspired, specifically. You can read Porter's leaked email about it

[@OfficialAbass]

it was and still is the best future

[@user-kc1sl1qr2k]

I hope that when the Latin trap (like bad bunny, j balvin, etc.) goes out of fashion these songs are more heard

[@Corey-tp2eo]

************* true. No offense to culture but I hate Latin pop 😂 it's annoying

i'm once again obsessed with this song

[@Liliana-qi8rw]

I've been listening to electronic music since I was 13, gone to festivals and clubs around the world. I've never been into Porter Robinson until this project. Saw his ECD set on KZbin he played Ayla, and a ton of classic trance classics. It melted my heart 💕

Listening again this gem, 3 years after realease and I almost forgot it, what a delight.

[@kaim3ra17]

I don't know if anyone has hit the "show more" button, but there's a bunch of sort of cryptic messages/questions, that make some sense when you carefully read it. The gist of it I think is uploading our existence via machine technology, whilst questioning our own humanity when "living" in an infinite, limitless form. I thought Porter's Virtual Self stuff was a masterpiece because of the technicality of his music, and the feeling that it gave me, but this goes deeper than most pieces of music/artwork that I've ever seen. Now I understand how the haunting synths and the concept of a technical future tie together to envision the transformative "virtual self". Absolutely, incredibly, genius.
