On June 10th, Issue Project Room will be transformed from an oil tank into a nimble and comfortable UFO captained by Bradford Reed. Those inside will get pleasantly abducted. An Experienced flight crew will generate the sonic backdrop on new and unusual instruments including the Pencilina, Appologetica, Guitaint, cello and Clacker-Sticks. The event will also feature exciting visuals both projected and voluntary.
The Crew: John Berndt is the founder of the Red Room, High Zero Festival, Second Nature, Sound/Shift, Geodesic Gnome, Multiphonic Choir, and many other extremely varied & strange endeavors including some of the instruments of his own design he will be bringing.
