about

Toronto based producer Victor Zuo returns with second EP <ZUO / 左> to Briefnote as WISEFAKE. Still Depressed and Odds. One Bonus Track and Full Cover Arts are included in purchase package.

<ZUO>, the official surname of WISEFAKE, is based on the Clan-consciousness of Tso's real life. From one of the oldest family tree in China, he's the oldest of his generation of the family tree, make him have to take in charge of both his own career and learning to manage the family. Conflict, compromise and "All-to-none" Taoism from traditional asian clan-consciousness are the foundation of this work. The word (pic) on the front artwork is part of his official name seal.

Musically, <ZUO> is less fusion than his previous work <SAKURA BENTO>. Sound in <ZUO> is basically the leftfield/experimental Techno fused with bass music, and has more ambient parts, especially the last two song, <義経 | Yoshitsune> and <蓮の影 | hasu no kage>. <義経 | Yoshitsune> is a reflection of deconstructionism, in the trance of reducing shells of formal bass music, similarly but differently, <蓮の影 | hasu no kage> is in the way of pure funeral music (not metal ones). Moreover, unlike <SAKURA BENTO>, <ZUO> marks the further evolution of WISEFAKE's landmark "playing with sound and space". Using earphone or stereo equipment for this, producer's advice.

No samples exist in this EP except drum machine, if it can be called "sample". Everything you hear is played by hands, with real instruments.

WISEFAKE is solo project of Victor Zuo, LAFF awarded soundtrack producer and member of Chinese electronic pioneer Wanderlust (wanderlustsynthpopduo.bandcamp.com) formed in 2009. In 2016, second album of Wanderlust <NEO-TASTE> was released in China, which became a milestone of Chinese electronic music. Genres such as EDM, IDM, Synthpop, Dub, Traditional Asian Music, Classical Music, Jazz and Synth Punk were added in this album, alongside with more than 50 kinds of instruments. Album reached Top200 on Deezer Music.

In late 2016, Zuo launched WISEFAKE as his main solo project. WISEFAKE was described as the project which based on dub, IDM and experimental techno. After self-released four dub techno EPs in 2016, WISEFAKE's first release <SAKURA BENTO> is pressed on Briefnote Records, the fresh electronic music label in Toronto in 2017.
