Artist Statement

Albuquerque-based artist Raven Chacon will give a 30-minute solo performance of his composition, Totem of the Total Siren. His work utilizes his custom-built electric ard electoric instruments: an antler-glass harp, a snare-oscillator, and various throat-amplifiers. Chacon’s sound, visual and installation work aims to anticipate the near-future sonic, graphic, and political landscape of this desert region and its peoples.
