We’re just a few weeks away from the third installment of the Wet Sound Series!
Join us for the Turntable Trio featuring Maria Chavez, Mariam Rezaei, and Evicshen (Victoria Shen) on Sunday, March 30th, 2025, at the ImprovLab in partnership with IICSI.
The trio will talk about their practice in light of the interlinking crises around us, followed by an immersive show you will not want to miss!
The trio combines elements of musique concrète, free improvisation, noise, techno and hip-hop with instrument building and modification. Each artist has a wildly different approach to turntablism. Among the techniques deployed will be skratching, beatjuggling, sampling and looping, while the technologies will include double needle head shells and acrylic needle nails. The trio's compositional aesthetics weave through sound sculpture, maximalism/minimalism and sonic destruction.
Doors at 6:30 pm
Artist Talk at 7 pm to 8 pm
Performance at 8:30 to 9:30 pm
Please note that there is a break between 8 and 8:30 p.m., with light refreshments and a cash bar.
We'll be collecting cash donations for Palestinian relief (suggested $10-$20). Reserve tix in advance with the link above.

Wet Sounds is a quarterly arts series that presents conversations and performances centring the intersections of feminist and queer musicians' academic work, artistic practice, and collaborations in the polycrisis. This series will examine notions of grief, ritual, queerness, pleasure, land, embodiment, colonialisms, decay, noise, and sound. Wet Sounds will ask how artists see their practice as impacted by or responding to the interconnected crises unfolding around us-climate chaos, genocide, fascism, an erosion of democracy, and multiple sites of oppression and resistance.
