aiwake & Saen Reveal “Faded Patterns” via Level Music
Out with their newest musical arrangement, aiwake has teamed up with Saen on “Faded Patterns” available today via Level Music.
“‘Faded Patterns’ is a projection of gritty cinematic pop. It is remembering something you have yet to experience; the extension of an emotion that is already gone. It displays motions over repetitions, nostalgic textures waiting to be defined.” – aiwake
A slow and soulful song from the start, “Faded Patterns” progresses with deep and melodic tones to carry out its essential atmospheric vibe. Incorporating serene elements, echoing vocals, delicate rhythms, and a gorgeous electronic undertone throughout, “Faded Patterns” depicts everything one may wonder about when it comes to experiencing a range of feelings and habits.
“The title ‘Faded Patterns’ is both literal and expressive. It’s a series of smooth and abrasive textures that create moving patterns underneath nostalgic lyrics. Faded patterns sneak in and out, bringing you back to old habits and feelings you hoped you forgot.” – Saen.
This track fits wonderfully into aiwake’s fuller discography. Built upon songs that feature airy, cinematic, and swoon-worthy sounds, his repertoire grabs listeners’ minds in a heartbeat.
