The third year of Floating Points Festival (formerly Points in a Circle) explores the versatility of ISSUE Project Room’s innovative house speaker system, designed by Stephan Moore.
ISSUE Project Room presents Extended Guitars with Erhard Hirt, Hans Tammen, Nick Didkovsky and Douglas Repetto. Playing contemporary tabletop guitar music - sounds that seem chaotic on the surface, with a forest of apparently separate details, interlinked underneath, woven together as a maze of infinite complexity.
ISSUE Project Room presents performances by upright bassist Nat Baldwin, New York-based band Extra Life and a solo performance by multi-instrumentalist Angel Deradoorian.
Kenneth Kirschner will start the evening with a preview of his upcoming stark and haunting work on 12k. Taylor Deupree will improvise a soft bed of acoustic guitar and electronics and Jodi Cave will treat with his incredibly tactile and human sound.
Vic Rawlings (amplified cello and surface electronics) teams up with pianist Gust Burns. Margarida Garcia and longtime collaborator Barry Weisblat are joined by Aki Onda on tapes and electronics. Trombonists Tucker Dulin and Bryan Eubanks share a new piece for trombone and sub-tones.
A fantastic evening of films and festivities—an homage to the female subject and the exultant powers of both self-possession and captivation. Curated by M.M. Serra.
Tonight’s event will feature an advanced screening of Droid – The Spirit of Improvisation. Followed by a performance featuring Amir Ziv on drums, Jordan McLean on Trumpet and Luke O’Malley on bass. In addition, projection artist CJ will be collaborating with the group as they fold time and space.
