This Summer, 2020, ISSUE and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council present The Steve Circuit, an episodic series of videos and digital artwork dedicated to the late beloved poet Steve Dalachinsky developed by his wife, painter and poet Yuko Otomo, and interdisciplinary artist Matt Mottel.

At ISSUE, Mottel creates an environment where photography is digitally altered and projected, backed by a soundscape performed by Mottel on 'electronically affected' piano, oscillators and samplers. In a sense, his music is a personal take on the sum of his influences.

Talibam performs with Uncle Woody Sullender on avant banjo blues and special guests guitarist Chris Forsyth (peeesseye), drummer Mike Pride (Dynamite Club, Fushitsusha, etc), and Michael Evans (one man percussion wonder).
