ISSUE and AvanTokyo present the debut collaboration of Berlin-based composer & musician Rashad Becker and Japanese sound artist Fuji||||||||||ta. “not to be or not not to be” is their words it is “a scrapbook of sensitivities in scarcity of acumen (a tiny cycle of 8 visual scores for supervised soliloquy)."

One of the most finely tuned ears in music, Berlin's Rashad Becker uses real-time synthesis and sampling techniques, setting intricate sonic worlds into motion. Percussionist/composer and fellow PAN artist Eli Keszler debuts a new trio work featuring Tom Chiu, violin, and Leila Bordreuil, cello.

ISSUE and Goethe-Institut present a free day-long series of talks with some of the most distinctive voices in experimental electronics: Keith Fullerton Whitman & Rashad Becker, Joseph Hammer, Jutta Koether, Steve Warwick (Heatsick), and Thomas Brinkmann.

An evening with electronic music visionaries Rashad Becker and Valerio Tricoli, and a short film by Mark Fell. Becker creates precise, phantasmic sound designs encouraging audiences to focus their hearing. Tricoli explores music's ability to hover between the "here and now" of the event and the shady domain of memory.
