MATA presents its 27th annual MATA Festival, this year in partnership with ISSUE Project Room at the limited capacity 22 Boerum Pl. theater. Featuring four concerts across four nights, this year’s festival explores the concept of INTERGALACTIC INFINITY: Music Between Spaces.
ISSUE is pleased to present a recording with accompanying video and text from choreographer and 2015 ISSUE Artist-In-Residence Kim Brandt. The work is part of the Isolated Field Recording Series, commissioning artists to produce field recordings to be streamed over this isolated time.
ISSUE is pleased to present Prosody as Messy Measurement Membrane, a new video piece from artist, composer, and 2012 ISSUE Artist-In-Residence Jules Gimbrone. "What is the prosody of the membrane? Instead of putting the measurement in a tool aimed at capturing truth, we listened to the membrane."
ISSUE is pleased to present To the Planetarium, a new long-form recording from writer and musician Derek Baron. The recording is part of the Isolated Field Recording Series, commissioning artists to produce field recordings to be streamed over the course of this challenging and isolated time.
ISSUE returns to the First Unitarian Congregational Society to present an expansive program of liberated sound featuring Peter Brötzmann’s trio outfit Full Blast with Marino Pliakas & Michael Wertmüller, as well as new solo work by John Wiese and Victoria Shen.
ISSUE is pleased to present Alive In St. Louis, a new recording, video, and “CD” from filmmaker, video artist, musician & performer Andrew Lampert. The piece contains a selection of songs, sounds and noises produced with a guitar, keyboard and electricity, largely captured on Iphone and mostly made alone.
Translating to “from one fragment to another,” D'un fragment à l'autre is a sonic retrospective of “exhumed” fragments from Bergsonist's published body of work and a collaboration with multimedia artist and longtime visual collaborator Greg Zifcak.
Vocal artist, composer & writer Shelley Hirsch has recorded elements of her current frequent practice: generating improvised text through vocalizing through a harmonizer in tandem with recordings of Morton Feldman pieces.
ISSUE is pleased to stream SHARDS:PROPRIOCEPTION, a new recording and accompanying visual project by multimedia artist, producer, performer, and engineer QUALIATIK. The piece aims to capture the contrast between an inner spaciousness and an outer claustrophobia.
