Smooth jazz soundscapes and dreamy vocals create a comforting audio embrace, as acclaimed producer and engineer Giampaolo Pasquile delivers a conceptual deep-dive into the continuous rise of technology.
On the surface, modest funk and disco vibes seem to blend a touch of something old-school with something crisp and contemporary. As expected, the production is faultless, allowing these layers and details to connect with warmth and clarity. Then woven into the likable nature of these seven tracks is of course a conceptual inspiration that’s boldly relevant, and a stylistic diversity that’s subtle yet holds attention well for its threads back to the emotions and ideas of the writing.
Considering the evolution of music and technology, Pasquile talks of the growth from vinyl to tapes to CDs to digital, and how we didn’t fight that evolution. And yet, with modern production tools, not least of all AI, we seem to be at war with or afraid of the future.
It’s an interesting angle, and the music is so blissfully easy going, that The Fake Truth makes for the perfect way to re-contemplate the current creative direction of the hive mind.
Created with both human and artificially suggested counterparts, The Fake Truth is every bit the juxtaposed creative arena its title implies. Where’s Jesus is defiantly a personal highlight.
