This project has been developed concurrently with my own interest in modular video synthesis, my para-musical project that kept me occupied during the isolation of the recent trips around the sun. This machine, or rather collection of small machines, uses electricity to create visual imagery in a manner analogous to how a musical synthesizer operates with sound.

Thus, my performance will be instrumental, operating in a discrete bandwidth of the electromagnetic spectrum, yet in the same time phase as the musical instrumentalists. It is now my great pleasure to share our collective discoveries with you in person, and in this gorgeous hemisphere. Be advised that there may berapid flashing and bright lights. This is normal with virtual interstellar travel, but please feel free to cover your eyes if the intensity is overwhelming.

Thank you for trusting us on this voyage.

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).
