Victoria Shen
Musician, visual artist, and instrument-maker native to San Francisco but working out of New England. Victoria’s sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her music floods its location, acting as a form of sculpture. Her instruments include analog modular synthesizers (Flower Electronics), contact microphones, and other self-built electronics designed to electronically reproduce chaotic systems, which are highly sensitive to small changes in their initial parameters. The resulting music eschews conventions in harmony and rhythm in favor of the extreme textures and gestural tones. Victoria has performed solo across North America, Japan, Mexico and Western Europe as Victoria Shen/Evicshen and as half of the duo TRIM in North America and the UK. She has also been an artist in residence at Elektronmusikstudion EMS in Stockholm, Sweden, and WORM in Rotterdam, Netherands. (Boston MA) evicshen.com

Vivienne Aerts
Originally from the Netherlands, vocalist, and songstress Vivienne Aerts is barely categorizable in genre or style. She plays in band formation, duo, solo, supplemented with synthesizer, loop station, and effects. Vivienne surprises challenges and tells stories. Her lyrics travel to the core of recognition; talk to the soul and open a barrel of emotions. Heartbreaking, singing of happiness, sometimes humorous, she tells about the things that make life beautiful. (New York City NY) vivienneaerts.nl
