製作人左瑋現居多倫多，是電子二人組 Wanderlust 的成員 ，WISEFAKE 是他 2016 年開啓的個人項目，由左瑋負責音樂部分，設計師Alice He負責概念與平面藝術部分。相比起 Wanderlust 的歌曲屬性，WISEFAKE 更多以電子音樂的思維嘗試新設備和新想法。從首张專輯《constants/常數》開始，左瑋抹去之前的軟硬件結合的舞曲式創作習慣，轉而採用音景創作，從Alice He的設計繪畫內容入手，通過時間跨度較大的聲音設計表現左瑋對平面內容的理解與表達。
繼今年 11 月單曲《wilketcreek》之後，今天 WISEFAKE 在獨立廠牌 Jyugam 發表第二张全長專輯《flowage/流動》，整張專輯採用純硬件演奏與錄音。《flowage/流動》包含的八首歌曲，是對Alice He所绘制的封面，的一个半小時音景表達：描繪了一隻粉色的海豚，在貝殼與其他隱藏在夜空中生物的眼睛的簇擁下，穿過雲層脫離海平面飛向空中的 UFO 的虛構場景。
WISEFAKE is the project by Victor Zuo (sound) & Alice He (arts) based in Toronto, running since 2016. Zuo is member of Chinese synthpop duo Wanderlust which is formed in 2009. Compared with Wanderlust, wisefake is more likely an experiment in the mindset of electronic sound producing and equipment exploring.
Starting from the album "Constants/Constants", wisefake wiped out the previous habit of combining hardware and software in dance music creation, and instead adopted soundscape creation. The music starts from the content of Alice‘s design paintings, and expresses Zuo's understanding and expression of graphic content through the sound design with a large time span.
After the single "wilketcreek" in November this year, wisefake released the sophomore album "flowage/流動" on the independent label Jyugam today. The whole album is played and recorded with pure hardware. "flowage/流動" is a half-hour soundscape a fictional scene which is depicting a pink dolphin, surrounded by shells and the eyes of other creatures hidden in the night sky, flying through the clouds and out of the sea into the air as a UFO, which is the cover art of this album and painted by Alice.
