Evicshen + Shantidas

Baba Yaga's Hut Presents:

Evicshen + Shantidas

Vespers, Peckham - January 29th

Victoria Shen is an experimental music performer and sound artist from San Francisco. Though analog 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 sets tend to be site-specific, in direct response to the physical and acoustic qualities of the space in which she performs. 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.

The french musician-performer Shantidas, guitarist of Aluk Todolo comes back with his “Requiem pour un caddie” ! Chained to the cart, he battles it head-on with a dystopian soundscape of drones. With sound as a weapon, this absurd fight turns into a symphony of noise, chanting the death of capitalism in pain and fire.
