Pram (Isabella Koen & Rachel Devorah) – Waterworks 2024
Pram (Isabella Koen & Rachel Devorah), live at the Waterworks 2024 festival in Boston, Massachusetts, April 26, 2024
Rachel Devorah is a sonic artist, technologist, educator, and labor organizer. She is interested in superhuman prolongation, opaque complexity, the re-signification of archaic tools and materials, and parallels between the physical properties and social meanings of spaces. Her improvisations utilize bespoke electronics and the French horn.
Isabella Koen is a sound artist, DJ, and composer based in Providence, RI. She is best known for her hard-driving, all-hardware live sets and off kilter releases. Her practice incorporates the dual role of artist and researcher rooted in broad-ranging experimentation, while simultaneously extracting sonic signifiers from rave, hard techno, trance, and drum ‘n’ bass.
