ISSUE is pleased to stream a new collaboration between Italian Turin/Berlin-based visual artist, writer and sound producer Francesco Cavaliere and Japanese Paris-based musician and artist Tomoko Sauvage.

Berlin-based Italian sound artist Francesco Cavaliere presents one of his “audio stories” -- an invented mythological narrative surrounded by abstract electronic music, presented in Italian with english subtitles. After years of live performance and intense studio work, Francesco has developed a unique style using his voice and an incredible archive of homemade sound effects as his primary sound sources.

Sea Urchin, Egyptian-Austrian artist Leila Hassan’s collaborative project with Francesco Cavaliere, performs in their American debut. Exploring a unique blend of poetry and dub music, their practice modulates sine waves, tapes, and electroacoustic devices.
