ISSUE Member Mixtape 003: Cory Arcangel

ISSUE is pleased to offer Members a new limited edition Mixtape by multimedia artist Cory Arcangel, our third physical Mixtape. The tape features an unreleased recording of NYARTIST (2019), a project by Arcangel which was exhibited and commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation, for the Sharjah Biennial 14, 2019 curated by Omar Kholeif. For the project, Arcangel composed an algorithmic score for pipe organ—located at nyartist.coryarcangel.com—and an iteration of this score was recorded by organist Hampus Lindwall. This resulting track was then dropped into the mix at the Radisson Blu Resort Sharjah gym for the duration of the Sharjah Biennial 14. For this Mixtape, the pipe organ piece is surrounded by EDM tracks by Zoie Makes Noise, Xentia, DemonDubz & Crysus, Comasleep, and more.
