Faux Tales creates music that feels like a slow-motion camera pan across a vast, uninhabited planet. It is electronic music with the soul of a film score, trading club-ready aggression for a sense of awe and quiet magnitude. The sound is defined by massive, reverberant spaces where every synth note feels like it has miles of room to echo, grounded by a low-end that is felt more than heard.
What truly sets this project apart is the meticulous use of texture. Timo Loosli weaves in 'shattered' elements: reversed foley, glitchy vocal fragments, and percussive clicks that sound like ice cracking. These small, sharp details provide a beautiful contrast to the sweeping, melodic pads, creating a listening experience that feels both organic and highly engineered.
Start with the 'Dystopia EP' to hear the foundational blend of melodic dubstep and cinematic atmosphere. For a more immersive, patient journey, dive into 'Beacon' or 'Hiraeth,' where the post-rock influences take center stage and the compositions are allowed to breathe and evolve over longer runtimes.
