In their ongoing examination of the garment industry Mute Frequencies presents an audiovisual installation that foregrounds the sonic characteristics of specialist machines. Recorded onsite at Central Saint Martins, a college renowned for its fashion programme, the documentation shows an array of machines under operation, including industrial sewing machines, overlockers and buttonhole machines. Each unit has its own sonic signature, mechanical quirks and operational rhythm. These machines are typically used in factories and therefore go unseen\/unheard by the general public. Specialist Machines<\/em> (2025) aims to hone in on the details that shape the unique voice of each machine, while surfacing ideas about manufacture, fast fashion and our relationship to clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mute Frequencies is the sound art project of Ilia Rogatchevski and Laura Rogatchevskaia, both former members of the art rock band Sebastian Melmoth. The duo work within the intersections of sound, performance and visual media and often investigate inaudible frequencies of the audio spectrum, the potential of electromagnetic waves to convey information and ideas relating to imperceptibility. They have installed work at various London galleries and performed at festivals including Radio Revolten, Radiophrenia, Supernormal, Open House and End of the Road.<\/p>\n\n\n
