Join sound artist, DJ and abstract turntablist Maria Chávez at stop-gap projects for this workshop on abstract turntablism, using turntables and pieces of broken vinyl records as instruments for improvisational performance. 

About the Facilitator
Born in Lima, Peru and based in NYC, Maria Chávez is best known as an abstract turntablist, sound artist & DJ. Coincidence, chance & failures are themes that unite her books, visual works & installations with her improvised solo turntable performance practice. Chavez’s work is known for taking the detritus of vinyl & repurposing them into sonic sculptures that can be compared to improvised musique concrete pieces, or, conceptually, sonic sculpture sessions. Chavez’s 2012 book on abstract turntablism, Of Technique: Chance Procedures on Turntable, is both an academic resource and a foundational text for a new generation of turntablists
