WAYVCAST: can you feel the water?
2024
an experimental short film based on WAYV WILSON’s project, WAYVCAST
Musiqology Media Group’s own multi-modal artist, WAYV WILSON, privately debuted a a short film in the summer of 2024, which brilliantly captures the vibrant intimacy of their monthly EP/Podcast/Concept Album WAYVCAST.
Brimming with stunning beats, lush harmonies, poignant poetry and rapping, eavesdropped voice memos, gorgeous singing, and ear-bending production, WAYVCAST is a musical revelation. It’s been called “a study of musical understatement and overachievement—both diaristic and epistolary—it seems fueled by a millennial-melancholia in sepia tones, powered by a fertile, unfettered poetic musical imagination, and aimed at the universe and not a target audience.”
WAYVCAST: can you feel the water? translates the magic of the sonic approach into a majestic and introspective visual statement. With deliciously captured cinemaphotography by Derwin Madison and Koby Murphy and brilliantly edited and co-directed (with WAYV WILSON) by ALYH ABOVE, the project was screened to a delighted private audience. The screening took place in Germantown’s own Our Culture House, one of Philadelphia’s beautiful art gathering spaces. DJ Lil' Dave was on-hand to moderate an informative Q&A with the artist, and V sang as well.
Stay tuned here for the next screening of the film.
