Description
Saturday, July 27th, ISSUE presents a special “end of season” program gathering three singular artists working across avant-garde rhythmic music.
Event Details
The evening showcases new work from a UK-based, to-be-announced artist, widely celebrated for subverting, hybridizing, and re-contextualizing known genres within electronic music. Composer, percussionist, and sound artist Susie Ibarra presents “Rhythm Cycles (for Drumset),” while “rhythmanalyst” Speaker Music (DeForrest Brown Jr.) premieres a new piece “Her Velocity; like a foreign (after)image, renders her opaque.”
Susie Ibarra’s “Rhythm Cycles” is a set of pieces that examine rhythm through shifting melody, texture, tempo, polyrhythms, while maintaining cycles. It is both a study and a meditation in rhythm.
Speaker Music (DeForrest Brown Jr.) presents “Her Velocity; like a foreign (after)image, renders her opaque,” a new work composed of granular and rhythmic production across the iPad, hotwired into further romantic abstractions via Ableton. Speaker Music intends to decontextualize digital audio in real-time, extending sonic narratives previously innovated by electronic and jazz musicians such as Les McCann, Urban Tribe and James Stinson.
Attuning to a vibrational ontology through an empathic “touching of frequencies” in collaboration with visual designer Ting Ding (Hecha / 做), Speaker Music employs a “rhythmanalytic expression” of a love for another, extrapolated into a love for and physical engagement with a shared world, as it is. Speaker Music describes the piece as “towards a gestural recognition of the literary ideation of the muse as a point which draws out latent potential -- as opposed to being a point onto which one impresses, and eventually oppresses.” He continues, “figured as a coda for an forthcoming LP entitled of desire, longing -- ‘Her Velocity…’ exposes and teases out a dimensional crease, a desirous affect as tensions unfold through successive fugal processions of a personal unspooling of flows of Eros.”
The special guest will be announced on Friday, July 12th.
