Evicshen
Evicshen is the nom de guerre of sound artist, experimental music performer, and inventor, Victoria Shen. Shen’s sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her music features analogue modular synthesisers, vinyl/resin records, and self-built electronics. Shen’s music eschews conventions of harmony and rhythm in favour of extreme textures and gestural tones.

Evicshen aka Victoria Shen is an experimental music performer and sound artist from San Francisco. Though analogue synthesizers are the backbone of Shen’s music, while performing live she plays self-made electronics, invented instruments, and even acoustic objects like a bull whip. Shen is a markedly mobile performer that muddles the boundaries between performer and audience, stage and floor. Her live show vacillates between moments of restraint and swells of frenetic and confrontational movement. A tightrope walk between control and chance, the whiff of danger is never far during Shen’s performances. Her sound is dynamic with a sensitivity to texture and structure throughout.
