ISSUE is pleased to present new works from cellist, composer and sound-artist Leila Bordreuil and DC/NYC-based musician and organizer Luke Stewart’s Feedback Ensemble, a raucous group of musicians utilizing their own feedback apparatuses—in addition to their instruments—to explore graphic scores, sound, noise, and improvisation. Centering techniques of sonic feedback generation within instrumental practice, the notated compositions will emerge through a radically collaborative process, in which performers co-create the works.

Brandon Lopez’s “Mess” with Chris Corsano & Sam Yulsman
Brandon Lopez continues his 2018 residency with the ISSUE debut of his piano trio, dubbed "Mess," with pianist Sam Yulsman and drummer Chris Corsano. Lopez has, in his own words, “spent some time attempting to hammer another nail in the coffin for the American thing.” With Mess, he attempts to dismember the notion of the piano trio to create a counterpart where each instrument functions outside of their supposed traditional roles. A sprawling thing devoid of harmony or melody, the trio insists giving violence and silence equivalent weight.

Brandon Lopez's second residency presentation, ALLS WELL THAT ENDS is situated in a series of works in development that use idiosyncratic improvisational techniques within forms of traditional and graphic notation, as well as aural development, to approach broader themes of catharsis and ritual religiosity.
