Gavilán Rayna Russom

Central to Russom's aesthetic is the challenge of fixed ideas which surround gender and all of the social frameworks that accompany it.

[citation needed] Known in the electronic community as "The Wizard" for her technical prowess,[5] she has built instruments for the likes of James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), Tim Goldsworthy (Unkle, The Loving Hand) and Bjorn Copeland (Black Dice).

With an interest in music from an early age, she spent her teenage years exploring drone and feedback using tape loops and mixers and playing in psychedelic noise bands with Michael Kelley, and with Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt, Mindflayer).

A growing disillusionment with traditional compositional modes along with a move to New York in 1997 opened Russom's music to more experimental forms of expression.

[10] In March 2020 Russom established the music label Voluminous Arts to support and disseminate works by boundary pushing artists.
