With Womens Work: crys cole - Valid ForeverrRrrRRrrr… (pt.1)

ISSUE is pleased to stream sound artist crys cole’s Valid ForeverrRrrRRrrr… (pt.1), a lockdown interpretation of composer Beth Anderson’s Valid For Life. The piece is part of the With Womens Work series, commissioning artists to interpret and respond to scores included in Womens Work, a magazine first edited and self-published in 1975 by Alison Knowles and Annea Lockwood.

David Behrman: Runthrough

David Behrman’s Runthrough is performed by Behrman, crys cole and Cleek Schrey (who recently performed alongside Behrman in April of this year). Behrman describes Runthrough as a piece that requires no special performance skills other than the ability to turn knobs and aim flashlights, making this early work of interactive live electronic music as playable by non-musicians as musicians.

Ora Clementi: crys cole & James Rushford / Vito Ricci

Artists Space Books & Talks: 55 Walker St., NYC 10013

Ora Clementi play with subtleties of sensory perception, invoking a dreamlike context that hovers between musical performance and pure abstraction. Vito Ricci combines his recordings with live sound, performing on computer, modular, and “wrench guitar” with special guests Lise Vachon and Steve Dalachinsky.
