Aurum Tides was proud to witness a landmark moment in underground music as Faustdoesntexist delivered a captivating performance at FAUSTDOESNTEXIST Live at BLOC, an event hosted by the forward-thinking creative collective, Atlas Works.
Held in the raw, industrial atmosphere of BLOC, the night was an immersive experience that blended sound, identity, and experimental storytelling. Faustdoesntexist known for his cryptic presence and genre-defying sonic palette, commanded the stage with an energy that felt both ethereal and unrelentingly grounded. This wasn’t just a performance; it was a ritual, a confrontation, and a confession all in one.
The Performance
From the moment he took the stage, Faustdoesntexist challenged the audience to listen, not just hear. Each track is built upon the last, weaving an emotional arc through textured production, haunting melodies, and minimalist yet surgical lyricism. The use of lighting, shadows, and spatial dynamics turned the set into a living artwork, blurring the line between artist and environment. It was a clear testament to the artist’s vision and the creative ethos that Atlas Works continues to nurture.
“Man! Glasgow has got a lot of raw talent that has to be supported, promoted, elevated and appreciated”
