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.
