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 and Harvestworks present acclaimed sonicist, composer, and biologist Francisco López making a rare NY appearance, his first at ISSUE since 2014. The evening also features composer, performer, and kinetic installation artist Michael Theodore's “Sound Houses (i)”, the first in a series inspired by Francis Bacon.

With roots in industrial music, and a penchant for recording everything from rainforests to skyscrapers, López’ work concerns complex phenomenological referencing to the “substance of reality." Composer Beth Bradfish presents work brining the audience as close to sound as possible, with Diane Moser & Max Johnson.

Francisco López makes a rare NY appearance creating an immersive sonic experience in the dark, with multi-channel sound and blindfolded audience. Taylor Deupree and Stephen Vitiello, label-mates and collaborators, perform a unique duo featuring modular synthesizers, field recordings and guitar.

López has developed a detailed sonic construction for ISSUE's multi-channel sound system. It is a true site-specific composition that unfolds with richness and detail as an intense and immersive experience inside a self-contained virtual world of sound.
