"About my Lack of Recordings"

I have received a lot of messages asking about where to purchase new music of mine but I am no longer recording my performances to sell music. My performances are video recorded instead for archival purposes and can be seen on my blog mynamelookslikeme for free. Thank you for your encouragement and understanding.

MARIA CHAVEZ

Born in Peru, avant-turntablist Maria Chavez currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. With a collection of new and broken needles that she calls “pencils of sound” and a selection of records, she creates electro-acoustic sound pieces.

Chavez made her New York City debut in a duet with Thurston Moore, collaborated with Otomo Yoshihide as part of the 2007 Wien Modern Festival, and recently shared a stage with Pauline Oliveros and Lydia Lunch during Vienna’s Phonofemme Festival 2009.

Having also performed at such internationally acclaimed venues as STEIM (Amsterdam) and Sonoteca (Lima, Peru), she was awarded a Jerome Foundation Emerging Artist Grant by New York’s Roulette Intermedium in 2008 and was recently selected to be a recipient of the Van Lier Fellowship which is generously offered to young sound artists by The Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund of the New York Community Trust.

In June and July, 2008, she was selected to be part of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company as an artist in residence for a series of performances in and around Richard Serra’s Torqued Ellipses sculptures at DIA: Beacon.

An ambulatory fall season, Chavez found herself performing at San Francisco’s Electronic Music Festival, The International Turntable Orchestra Festival in Berlin, Gdansk and Krakow, Poland, Ostrava, Czech Republic and the NY Sound Festival at CAPC, Musée d'Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, France.

Beyond the realm of sound, in 2006 Chavez co-founded Houndstooth:Fine Vintage for Men, a boutique in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that specializes in men’s vintage clothing and accessories. The store’s visionary, she spearheaded buying, merchandising, private styling, and services geared to the fashion, movie, and music industries. As Houndstooth recently closed to physical structural problems with it's location, Chavez has decided to focus on her sound career in lieu of opening a larger store.
