Nighttales by Science Teheran

Nighttales is the second chapter of my nocturnal trilogy—a darker, more intimate mirror of Nightsongs. Forged during countless after-midnight sessions, each piece was shaped with forensic care: warped piano lines rendered through a multi-layered physically-modeled engine, then resampled, bit-crushed and wave-folded until their overtones fracture into soft halos. Hardware arpeggiators thread through the mix, Haas-based stereo widening drifts across the field, and slow-moving pan automation lets motives glide from shadow to shadow.

Buried beneath the flicker of insomnia, rough sketches grew into a precise cartography of the night’s liminal hours. Some tracks linger like dim streetlights, others surge with restless electronics, but all share the same moon-lit DNA.

Two pieces bring an extra voice to the darkness: versolun4 lends haunting vocals to “Nana de plata” and “Cloud goes by,” weaving human breath into the circuitry.
