Sharkiface is a solo electronic musician and sound artist from Oakland, CA. She uses an interdisciplinary approach to create live textural incantations. Layering live samples, textures, and rhythms, her mostly improvised sets are made with an extremely tactile and rare synthesizer (the Ciat-Lonbarde Tranoe Ambrazier), sampler, and manipulated voice. Sharkiface also plays in the dark wave, synth duo Jeweled Snakes and performs with Aurora Josephine in the femme fatale electronic duo Tainted Pussy. Since 2000, Sharkiface — a long-time participant in the Bay Area noise scene — has been in projects such as Caroliner, Crack:WAR, Pigs in the Ground, and Tarantism. She also started and co-ran Life Changing Ministry, West Oakland’s noise chapel.
