I still have Faith in Fakes

Chiara Benevolo

2026

The volume on YouTube suddenly turned up. Maximum reverb in the KeyPitch Chrome extensions. A simple scratch with YOUDJ: PinkPantheress Ringtone plays in the background at 0.25x speed.

I still have faith in wigs, in voices forever trapped inside Ableton plug-ins, in scammers, in shortcut, in fake emails for extending free trials.

I still have Faith in Fakes is a sonic journey through the hyperreal, composed remixing open access software and playing from my desktop. Few composition knowledge, great music taste. Long live pop (music).

About the artists:

them in #art #research, currently conducting on a wonky orchestra of open tabs. Sometimes doing radio and writing about what I do.
