***Victoria Shen (A.K.A. Evicshen) // @evicshen // is a sound artist, experimental music performer, and instrument-maker based in San Francisco. Shen’s sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body.

Her probing into these melodic voids interrogate the ways we perceive value within aural experiences.

Pela primeira vez, uma colaboração entre dois artistas experimentais que, cada um à sua maneira, desafiam qualquer noção pré-concebida do que pode ser o som — Evicshen, sediada em São Francisco, e Gabriel Ferrandini, sediado em Lisboa.

✷ Evicshen é o pseudónimo de Victoria Shen. A sua identidade pessoal; o seu corpo; é o espaço que o seu trabalho utiliza para reestruturar o significado sonoro.

✷ Gabriel Ferrandini é um músico e compositor cujo trabalho se estende muito além da sua formação como baterista de jazz e improvisador, abrangendo a composição contemporânea e a experimentação eletroacústica.

✷ Miguel Limão, aficionado sonoro sediado em Lisboa. Miguel explora cenários musicais não convencionais. Utiliza o gira-discos como base para a criação sonora, abordando mecanismos eletromecânicos em busca de desvios.

Os concertos concretizam-se em paralelo com exposição em curso de João Bragança Gil, intitulada «To Whom It May Concern,» (15.05 — 19.07.2026).

Advance tickets available at desertdrone.org or link in bio

Parts & Labor’s 2nd reunion show will take place at @bottomofthehillsf , a San Francisco institution that we visited several times on the tours for Mapmaker and Stay Afraid.

We’re honored to play with Bay Area noise legend @evicshen and Cali DIY institution @hlllyh_ .

Bottom of the Hill is marking it’s farewell year by bringing back past performers, and we’re psyched to return after 2000s shows with fellow travelers Adult., Erase Errata, Wilderness, and Year Future. Holler if you were there.

In this lecture, Victoria Shen (A.K.A. @evicshen) will share her experience as a sound artist, experimental music performer, and instrument-maker. Shen’s sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her personal identity, her body, is the space her work utilizes to restructure sonic meaning. In her live performances, she proposes an exploration between meaning and non-meaning through the physical activation of noise tropes–the body as both subject and instrument.

Special thank you to Hannah Spector, Jeff Williams (@9arches), and Mike Smith for making this program possible

Victoria Shen (A.K.A. Evicshen) is a sound artist, experimental music performer, and instrument-maker based in San Francisco. Shen’s practice is concerned with the materiality of sound and its relationship to the human body through a lens of disruption and experimentation. She creates and manipulates custom-built sculptures and extensions specific to her body to challenge conventional methods of sound production and erode the boundaries between performer, tool, and audience.

Shen will perform in dialogue with a new exhibition by Houston-based artist Mark Flood, “Buddy Can You Spare a Meme” inside Co-Lab’s Culvert Gallery. Together, Flood and Shen operate on the same adversarial frequency. Both artists weaponize humor and chaos against established systems—he through visual mockery, she through sonic assault. Where Flood asks you to laugh at the art world’s absurdities, Shen makes you feel the discomfort of sound pushed past its breaking point. Neither artist offers you comfort or easy answers. They offer you a mirror, amplified and distorted, reflecting back the ridiculous machinery of contemporary culture at volumes impossible to ignore.
