The Turntable Trio, pioneers of new turntablism, bring together elements of musique concrète, free improvisation, noise, techno, and hip-hop with instrument building and modification. Each artist has a wildly different approach to turntablism. Among the techniques deployed will be skratching, beatjuggling, sampling and looping, while the technologies will include double needle head shells and acrylic needle nails. The trio’s compositional aesthetics weave through sound sculpture, maximalism/minimalism, and sonic destruction. Together, they will show that New Turntablism is beyond technique, genre or compositional theory; it’s about the unknown.

The third event in the Wet Sounds series presented by Musagetes, Turntable Trio is co-presented with IICSI and launches with a conversation with the artists around queer and feminist performance and practice in the polycrisis.
