Yes to sticky, bloody unions.

Zohar Shafir
Zohar Shafir (1981) is a musician and performer who works in the space between Pop-music nostalgia and its deconstruction. Her creative process spans vocal performance, original composition and the unique processing of her sound with the use of tapes, archival materials and various electronic tools. Parallel to her activity in the field of experimental music Shafir publishes her Pop albums under the name of Nico Teen. To date she has released four solo albums as part of this ongoing project. Whether in collaboration with other artists or in her solo project, Shafir deals with dismantling and reassembling structures which feature and explore vocal expression. Her texts are original and deal with the subconscious, the imaginary and mundane, while keeping a focus on the liminality and darker side of the existential experience.
