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.
