Turner Williams Jr.

Turner Williams Jr. is an American artist and musician living in Marseille. He plays the shahi baaja, an amplified typewriter zither that uses metal keys to alter the pitches of its strings. Like Williams, this instrument is an electrified transcultural mutation of the 20th century. His autodidactic practice & technique emerge from a stubborn practice of automatism, accident & listening. His music refracts the shahi baaja’s hybrid nature through a delirious, personal process that is as scattered as it is syncretic.
