Wet Subtitles by Misha Faulty

The TV is not plugged in, yet scenes from David Cronenberg’s Videodrome play as the subtitles start to slip from the screen, oozing into the water. The subtitles gloop in ambiguous knots refracted on the water’s surface by the sunlight.

This is a project started in December 2019. Loops, reappropriated worm poems, warped 70s folk and rock samples, distorted field recordings and speech coallesce amongst chaotic synth and drum patterns. Broken bodies of sound. Deafness and spastic queerness sit within the work. Misha plays with sonic pulp as it leaks and pools in unknown liquids. Sodden, waterlogged noise is altered in the way it is uttered and felt. It is heavier and clings to the ears. Dripping.
