Description

Victoria Shen, alias evicshen, is a sound artist, experimental music performer, and instrument-maker based in San Francisco. Shen’s sound practice is concerned with the spatiality and physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her music features analog modular synthesizers, vinyl/resin records, and self-built electronics. Eschewing conventions in harmony and rhythm in favor of extreme textures and gestural tones, Shen uses what she calls “chaotic sound” to oppose signal and information, eluding traditionally embedded meaning.  

Birchett / Mullany / Hurtado 

With thirty cumulative years of experience in the Richmond experimental music community, the Birchett / Mullany / Hurtado trio showcases three distinct yet related approaches to improvised audio electronics. Wielding handmade instruments, modified electronics, and specially designed circuits, they endeavor to destroy all preconceived notions of improvised analog electronics.

Doors open at 6 p.m. with the performance starting at 7 p.m.
