Maria Chávez + Victoria Shen + Mariam Rezaei aka The Turntable TrioPioneers of New Turntablism, Maria Chávez, Evicshen (aka Victoria Shen) and Mariam Rezaei come together in this historical, head-scrambling, boundary-shattering trio. The group weave together elements of musique concrète, free improvisation, noise, techno, and hip-hop with instrument building and modification. Each artist has a wildly different approach to turntablism. Techniques deployed to create their dizzying sets include scratching, beat-juggling, sampling and looping, while the technologies include double-needle-head shells and acrylic needle nails. The trio’s compositional aesthetics combine sound sculpture, maximalism/minimalism and sonic destruction. Together, they show that New Turntablism is beyond technique, genre or compositional theory; it’s about the unknown. This important project represents the first time three female turntablists of colour have come together in this way.
Admission is free; ticket reservations are encouraged.
