ISSUE is pleased to stream Captured in the Air, a recording from composer, performer, and 2012 Artist-In-Residence Aki Onda. "This is a portrait of Loren Connors, whom I have collaborated with for the last two decades."
ISSUE is pleased to stream Dust Dives Alive, a recording from multidisciplinary artist & 2010 ISSUE Artist-In-Residence Laura Ortman. "As a White Mountain Apache woman from Arizona living 23 years in New York City, I have recorded the subways, traffic, parades, block parties, middle of the night hollering, etc."
ISSUE streams a new hybrid piece from multidisciplinary artist & 2018 Artist-In-Residence James K. "This piece is a mediation on the layers that surround isolation. It moves through emotion & constructed history, processing and dissecting them, as an attempt to fully dissolve into the ether and become one."
