Talk Low Festival is bringing you abstract turntablist Maria Chavez in this in-person workshop hosted at Wave Pool Art Center!
Abstract Turntablism workshops are hands- on workshops using turntables and vinyl records as an instrument. All students will receive a free .PDF of Maria’s book, Of Technique: Chance Procedures on Turntable and learn 3 basic abstract turntablism techniques (per 2- 3 hour class), break a record and perform a recital in front of an audience (if allowed by the venue).
Find out more about Maria Chávez.
Maria is the only abstract turntablist in the world who performs with a rare needle known as the RAKE Double Needle. This special device contains two needles on one head, allowing it to read two different segments of a single record at the same time. Paired with her inimitable ability to create unforgettable sonic experiences from shards of broken records, each performance is truly unique.
