The band's performances utilise chanted vocals and often employ the use of a variety of different instruments including the Celtic harp, nyckelharpa, lyres, bagpipes, Japanese taiko, cister, Pagan zither, flutes and Arabic instruments such as the dombra, rebab, riq, oud, darabukka and bendir.
Faun's roots in medieval music, combined with their influences drawn from Celtic folk, contemporary rock and Arabic rhythmic tones and fused with driving beats has gained the band a quickly-growing crowd of followers.
Faun was founded in early 2002 in Munich, Germany, and has since performed at more than four-thousand shows in a variety of locales, including festivals, medieval markets, concert halls and churches throughout Europe.

Faun was also a late 1960's studio project featuring George Tickner and Ross Valory (ex-Frumious Bandersnatch), both of whom would later be in the original line-up of Journey. Their sound was a unique blend of pop, jazz, 1930's swing and psych.

Faun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Te et abducit
Te in profunda
Sicut est unda.
The Faun's song "Unda" has an intriguing and poetic meaning that speaks to the listener's soul. The song talks about the profound nature of an ocean or a wave. The opening lyrics, "Unda attingit," signifies the touch of the ocean wave. It refers to the moment when the wave makes contact with the shore and becomes a part of the surrounding environment. The following line, "Te et abductit," represents the ocean's power to transport and pull the listener into its depths. The ocean has the power to capture a person's imagination, soul, and consciousness.
The next line, "Te in profunda," signifies how the ocean submerges the listener into the ocean's depths. The ocean represents a deep and powerful force; it overwhelms and encompasses everything in its path. Similar to how the ocean has dominion over everything, the lyrics imply that the listener's mind becomes swept up and pulled under the ocean's influence. The final line "Sicut est unda," means "like the wave," emphasizing the ocean's power and influence on the listener.
