ISSUE is pleased to stream SHARDS:PROPRIOCEPTION, a new recording and accompanying visual project by multimedia artist, producer, performer, and engineer QUALIATIK.

This collection of "field recordings" are a view into Hirsch’s multiplicitous at-home practice of generating text. For this recording Hirsch has recorded elements of her current process: improvising text by vocalizing with a multi effects unit as well as speaking/writing with and sans effects in tandem with recordings of Morton Feldman music, specifically Piano With String Quartet (1985), Patterns In A Chromatic Field (1981), and Violin & String Quartet (1985). As a whole, the practice illuminates the various ways of “generating text” across Hirsch’s vocal techniques, unique storytelling, free improvisation, and writing.

A deeply personal two-part recording, 9 a.m. (Eternal) simultaneously embraces both the inner and outer interiorities of Toussaint-Baptiste’s early morning life in Crown Heights, New York, with mundane practices finding new significance against the neighborhood’s dramatically shifting acoustic and physical landscapes—as boomboxes and soundsystems have turned outward to play from balconies along Eastern Parkway.
