Nothing But Simulation (EP)

Creative Director and electronic music producer Giorgio Fazio releases Nothing but Simulation, a 2-track EP with a companion generative site that “simulates the simulation.” Premiered on NTS Radio in Foodman’s show, the project merges unstable rhythms, suspended atmospheres, and a browser-based system that renders infinite video portraits in real time.

The EP explores a core question: if we already live in a simulation, what happens when we create another inside it? The title track is raw and rhythmically unstable, a system in flux; “But Something Feels Real” moves like a program that never fully loads, suspending time and memory. The concept extends to nothingbutsimulation.com, a generative site that launches randomized sequences of simulated video portraits trained on Fazio’s likeness, making each visit unique.

“Starting his mix with ‘Nothing but Simulation’ set a tone that felt both unsettling and captivating.”
