Victoria Shen (Evicshen) is an internationally acclaimed instrument inventor, composer, and performer from San Francisco. Shen’s sound practice is concerned with the materiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her music features analogue modular synthesizers, vinyl/resin records, and self-built electronics. She is famous for her “needle nails”; modified acrylic fingernails with embedded turntable needles, allowing her to play up to five grooves of a record at once. Her close collaborator Aaron Dilloway is one of the most creative, prolific, and revered figures in the Midwest American experimental/noise scene. His performances and recordings incorporate rhythmic loops from eight-track tapes, vocal improvisations, found sounds, and field recordings. He uses contact microphones in order to generate harsh, feedback-laced noises, sometimes placing microphones inside his mouth in order to create bizarre, ogre-like distorted voices. Evichsen and Aaron will be playing a collaborative noise set, with openers Fae and Penina playing an instrument of their own invention called "String Thing #2", free with OCID!
