Turntable Trio
+ Kristina Guison @ Tranzac (292 Brunswick Ave.)
8pm, $20 Adv / $25 Door

The new wave of turntablism’s heaviest minds team up to rewire what we know about the boundaries of genre, composition & technique.

Turntablists Maria Chavez, Evicshen (aka Victoria Shen), and Mariam Rezaei come from varying backgrounds, from deep listening practices to DIY scenes to composition, but all share a deep passion for experimentation and re-imaging what is possible with the turntable.

Chopping up records, both physically and sonically, the trio uses a plethora of extended techniques, often developed in their own practices, including multi head needles, amplified resin objects, homemade instruments, re-assembled records, and acrylic needle nails. Their sculptural sound work mangles elements of musique concrete, noise, free improv, techno & hip hop through a lens of playful maximalism. On the cutting edge of the genre their collaboration pushes the sonic possibilities beyond.

Multidisciplinary artist Kristina Guison pulls haunting sounds from sheet metal against a backdrop of abstract rhythmic expressions from homemade metronome mechanisms. Amplified sculptural pieces become active collaborators as Guison teaches them how to sing.
