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.

A 60-minute selection of compositions improvised and performed live on a Moog Model- D
Let this be drawn across the walls of this ark
No messiahs shall appear in surprise
This gyre shall again come to a dim sensation
With the scowl returned to the beholders eye
On strewn paths writhe newborn again
Thier slithering huffs of steam and spit
A still construction of what had lived before,
And a submission to their wild mouthed fits.
Will these whimpers crown the river,
and split seas of sandglass hours
They swallow cold skulls in Pamir Khuhestan
And revile the canine cower
Hear every howl that rings in this glow
For starvation is a knife in the knee
Colder now the mud, berries, and milk
Belched with the blood on the trees
Tonight the hounds reek of strife and spleen
A hunt breathes in every hour.
Simmer the slump of death winter frost
And cast to fresh ice another bone tower.

Interview :
(We will upload the Japanese version in a few days .)
How do u come up with track name? Like ‘nobody listen to techno anymore,’ ‘I used to hate acid,’ are ironically good names on acid/techno tracks.
Haha it’s funny you ask this because sometimes the name of the track cames to me before i even finish the track. And i think i choose this kind of names in techno tracks because techno is sometimes now a days bonded to some dark deep stuff and for me techno is the funniest thing in the world, producing it o dancing it at clubs, its funny and also its queer and we should not forget about that.
What do you think of club culture & its function during this pandemic, in the society of failed democracy ? How’s things in Barcelona?
So in my case, with this whole pandemic year i could realize that club culture is way more important than i tought it was. Club culture its not just go out and dance, its way more than just the nightlife at clubs. Its a whole support for an unhappy society, its a community made by people for people, thats my pov, that’s what club culture represents to me, a safe and happy place. Im not saying that’s the same for everybody cause im a raver, way more and way before than being a dj, maybe for a club manager “club culture” is another completely different thing you know.
In Barcelona things are fucked up, culture is completely dying because government doesn’t give a shit about it and they’re not realizing that what is happening right now with culture may not be reparable.
Also from a raver/DJ POV, community is almost the core value of making parties for me, is there any Barcelona based collective of dance music / visual artist etc u would recommend ??
Just in time because im planning to start a new project in Barcelona to try to unify a little bit more the deconstructed” club scene that i like to be part of. There are some good local things happening tho like Club marabú, Hardcore Wizards, now a new label called Syndicate of Creatures that got lots of things coming, also a party that was kicking it last year called Maquina total. And i think there’s more but this is what came to my head right now.
