Turntable Trio Spotlight: Evicshen @ grayareaorg

Turntable Trio Spotlight 🔦 Evicshen (Video is a solo performance at GAF2022) The nom de guerre of San Francisco-based sound artist, experimental music performer, and inventor Victoria Shen (she/her), Evicshen’s music eschews conventions in harmony and rhythm in favour of extreme textures and gestural tones. Performing with analogue modular synthesizers, vinyl/resin records, and self-built electronics, her practice concerns itself with the materiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Notable for her Needle Nails, Shen uses modified acrylic fingernails with embedded turntable needles, allowing her to play up to five grooves of a record at once. Her DIY approach extends to hand-made resin records embedded with found materials. Each piece functions not only as playable music media, but as a unique art object. See Evicshen on April 5 alongside Maria Chávez and Mariam Rezaei in a boundary-shattering performance by The Turntable Trio! 📅 Saturday, April 5, 2025 | 8:00PM 🎟️ Tickets linked in bio! 📸 robertdiversherrick
