Marcia Bassett is a NYC-based musician, performer, and artist known for her innovative and unconventional approach to music. Her work explores areas of sound collage, improvisation, and immersive audio-visual environments. Working with traditional instruments, electronic media, and voice, Bassett constantly pushes the boundaries of sound and image to create a heady sonic interplay of otherworldly narratives that are equal parts trance and critique. She is the founder of Yew Recordings.
Bassett is deeply entwined with the American noise underground and has mapped regions still only dimly understood by subsequent sonic travelers. In the 1990s, Bassett, along with Grant Acker, founded Un, releasing records on Tom Lax’s label, Siltbreeze Records, and touring extensively. Following Un, she went on to form Double Leopards with Chris Gray and Jon Chapman, an experimental collective that emerged in the early aughts. Relocating to NYC and adding Mike Bernstein and Maya Miller to the Double Leopards collective, the band introduced floorcore, hunching over their gear and creating smoked-out, densely layered sonic tapestries that blurred the boundaries between noise, drone, and psychedelia. In addition to her band collaborations, Bassett released many solo recordings under the moniker Zaimph. Guided by a commitment to experimentation and artist-run events, Bassett has organized numerous musical events and series over the years.. Her latest series, “2 Blocks Down,” focuses on innovative experimentation and collaborations, resulting in first-time pairings and welcoming a broader community of listeners and practitioners.
Victoria Keddie is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans sound, video, installation, performance, and research. Her practice investigates the architectures of communication—acoustic, spatial, and technological—and explores how gesture, noise, and interference shape human experience. For over a decade, she co-directed E.S.P. TV, an international platform for hybrid media and broadcast-based performance. She currently teaches at the University of Pennsylvania, leading the course Listening Beyond Hearing alongside a spatial sound studio she designed for the program. She also directs the Spatial Sound Consortium in collaboration with Harvestworks, connecting studios internationally to develop new forms of access and collaboration.
