FA(U)CES
FA(U)CES is an intimate walk through the feelings, history and fictions of the composer Ollin Vázquez. Throughout these 14 songs, Ollin tries to expose the relationship of the voice with memory and with our own history, trying to explore the ghosts that are discovered when singing and amplifying them with various electronic treatments.
In this album, the voice works as a means to heal family wounds, personal confusion and duels, seeking to transfigure them into sparks of hope guided by affection, tenderness and fiction.

"The sound expresses itself, the listener's job is to distinguish these dissonances that, in a plausible way, generate a discourse, a sound micro-universe designed from the process of converting noise into music"
WARP Magazine
"The prevailing sound in his compositions could be ascribed to what we call experimental. There is something lo-fi, ambient and a vocal presence that complements the sounds"
