In a world obsessed with speed, automation, and artificial intelligence, acclaimed producer Giampaolo Pasquile takes a reflective detour with his new album The Fake Truth—a powerful, emotionally rich collection that challenges the very direction of music and technology today.
Known for his genre-defying production and collaborations with music legends like Stewart Copeland, Will.i.am, and Mike Posner, Pasquile could easily have leaned into trends. Instead, The Fake Truth is a sonic rebellion—a record built not on digital perfection but on emotional imperfection, nostalgia, and human authenticity.
“I’m a deeply nostalgic person,” Pasquile reflects. “I love the sound of the past—its authenticity, its warmth, its breath. But I chose to do this project to challenge myself, to punish myself a little, to force myself to be more pragmatic. If I cling too tightly to the past, I’ll end up suffocating and getting left behind. And I don’t want to be left behind.”
This album is his answer to that dilemma: blending old and new, analog and AI, tradition and experimentation. While some tracks are purely human, others incorporate artificial intelligence—not as a crutch, but as a provocateur, challenging Pasquile to rethink his creative limits.
“I didn’t want to make an AI-made record,” Pasquile explains. “Every track was crafted with the same level of care and passion I’ve always put into my work. AI was never the creator, only an idea amplifier, a collaborator.”
In The Fake Truth, even AI becomes emotional—not because it feels, but because it is filtered through a creator who does. Pasquile’s hands remain firmly on the wheel, guiding technology to serve, not replace, human expression.
With its mix of R&B warmth, jazz textures, classical echoes, and cutting-edge production, The Fake Truth doesn’t just question the future of music—it dares to rewrite it. The album invites listeners to consider whether progress must come at the expense of soul—or whether the two can coexist.
As music continues its technological evolution, The Fake Truth stands as a timely and poignant reminder: it’s not the tools, but the touch that counts.
