509 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217
AUDREY CHEN and MARIA CHAVEZ (voice/cello and turntable)
“Friction and touch amplified by the body to mouth, strings to wood and the needle to speakers.”
Chinese and Peruvian Americans, Chen and Chavez are two female artists who have been working parallel to one another for almost a decade but have never intersected their work until their winter premiere at CT-SWaM at Eyebeam Arts + Technology Center in Chelsea, NYC in 2014. Both performers center their shared practices of improvisation to combine the cello with the sounds of the turntable & voice. After their debut tour in Europe last Spring, the duo returns to NYC to perform for Roulette.
