SWANS + Baby Dee @ The Brooklyn Masonic Temple
ISSUE Project Room in collaboration with Haunting The Chapel and the Blackened Music Series is thrilled to present Swans’ first NYC show in 
more than a decade. It will take place at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, the loudest venue in the city.
Michael Gira has handpicked performance artist, harpist and accordionist Baby Dee to open the show, this time featuring keyboards accompanied by cello.
Formed in 1982 and led by Gira, a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Swans instigated and heavily influenced New York’s NoWave scene. They are considered one of the most influential post-punk bands to date, often incorporating droning vocals, thunderous rhythms, and varied, complex instrumentation.
“THIS IS NOT A REUNION. It’s not some dumb-ass nostalgia act. It is not repeating the past. After 5 Angels Of Light albums, I needed a way to move FORWARD, in a new direction,” says Gira of the pending new album. “It just so happens that revivifying the idea of Swans is allowing me to do that. I’ll be using what I learned in the last several years to inform the way this new material develops, while carrying forward from where Swans left off with its final album Soundtracks For The Blind, and in particular, Swans Are Dead.” (More here from Stereogum)

8:00 PM (7:00 PM Doors)
317 Clermont Ave (@ Lafayette Ave)
Diminished Men + Special Guest TBA
Diminished Men is a Seattle-based instrumental band, whose members include Dave Abramson, Steve Schmitt, Sam Wambach, and Matt Rosof. According to Sublime Frequencies Founder, Alan Bishop, their latest album, Shadow Instrumentals (Abduction, 2009) “is a superbly crafted mosaic of whip-cracking vengeance, speakeasy hallucinations, and haunted geography.” They have also released four CDs under the Cass Record Label and Bowels of Lunacy Label. Abramson has collaborated with Secret Chiefs 3, Grails, Eyvind Kang, Six Organs of Admittance, Wally Shoup, Kayo Dot, Master Musicians of Bukkake, Climax Golden Twins, and The Curious Mystery.
Loren Connors + Bill Baird
Bill Baird
Bill Baird is a multi talented musician from Austin, Texas. Known to most for his prolific songwriting and pop productions under the names Sunset and Sound Team, Baird is at heart a musical experimenter without boundaries. The dynamic nature of his approach to songwriting leads to an always-evolving sound, constantly reaching for its true shape yet never settling in on form. With his album Silence! (an August 2010 release on the Austin label Autobus) he has created a rich, analog ambient recording akin to the Folkways records of Craig Kupka and the meditations of early Kranky releases. Silence! is awash with the heavy sonic textures of pianos sent through 24 stereo delays, french horn, and a variety of acoustic instrumentation. For this special ISSUE Project Room performance, Bill Baird will perform live arrangements of the pieces from the album in ensemble with Tucker Dulin, Erica Dicker, Dave Ruder, Nathan Stein, Alexander Waterman, Kenny Wang, Karen Waltuch, and Katherine Young.
Loren Connors
Loren Connors was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1949. Best known as a composer and improviser, Connors has issued over 50 guitar records on his own imprints (Daggett, St. Joan, Black Label) since the late 1970s and over two dozen on other labels across the globe. He has 
recorded under the names Guitar Roberts, Loren Mattei, Loren MazzaCane Connors and other variations. Connors’ singular adpation of the blues is a distinct personal vision combining the Delta bottleneck sound and the ancestral blues voice (appearing as distortion, baying hounds or multi-tracked guitar), with hauntingly unexpected sounds. Outside of Connors’ three decades of solo work, he has collaborated with Suzanne Langille, Jim O’Rourke, Darin Gray, Alan Licht, Christina Carter, Keiji Haino, San Agustin, Jandek and many others, as well as leading the group Haunted House. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
This evening is curated by Unseen Worlds Records. With releases by Lubomyr Melnyk, Carl Stone, “Blue” Gene Tyranny, and Elodie Lauten, Unseen Worlds pens itself as a record label “releasing quality editions of unheralded and revolutionary, yet accessible, avant garde music.”

Share – free audio & video jam – featured guests “Phonoride”
What is share?
SHARE is first and foremost a platform to explore expression, in a variety of artforms. Through its weekly open jam sessions, SHARE.nyc engages its participants and spectators in a continually changing dialog on art and culture. As such, SHARE represents an ongoing exploration of collaborative performance as cultural exchange. It mines the relationship of artistic practice to cultural identity, remapping a multiplicity of cultural discourses. The act of creating artistic content in a multicultural collaborative context is a fascinating and natural extension of the SHARE concept.

Tonight’s featured guests are Jeff Carey & Myo. They will perform two mini-solo-sets as a part of their CD release tour.
Jeff Carey (b. 1972) is an electronic music composer and performer focussing on real-time multichannel electro-instrumental music. Since the early 90’s Carey has been working with electronic music in experimental, improvised and composed contexts, has performed and presented his music in clubs, art galleries, festivals, and squats in Europe, Scandinavia and the US, and has been involved in several critically acclaimed performance groups such as 87 Central (NoTV/Universal, Staalplaat, JDK Productions, ERS Records), Jeff Carey’s MoHa! (Rune Grammofon), Office-R(6) (Lampse, +3DB, Unsounds), SKIF++ (12k/LINE, Fridgesounds), Ultralyd w/ N-Ensemble (Rune Gramofon), Jeff Carey (Sonig), and N-Collective (X-OR).
http://jeffcarey.foundation-one.org <http://jeffcarey.foundation-one.org/>
“Jeff wrote a great piece for the Noiseroom, a 5.1 listening project. His piece uses the surround spatialization set up to the full extent and draws the listener into a fascinating world of microscopic yet blasting manipulation of sound. A master of granular synthesis, the idea of an intense listening space seemed to be just right for Jeff’s radical approach on sound.” — Jan St. Werner, ‘Noise Room’ Curator, Microstoria, Mouse on Mars
“The sounds produced are an extremist hybrid between free Improv, gutter electronics and darkwave scuzz. [...] like a beautifully evil cartoon score – fractured and malevolent and funny, all at the same time.” — Byron Coley, The Wire Magazine, on Jeff Carey’s MoHa!
“Using devices such as joysticks to exacerbate the chance, improvised nature of this music, this is musique concrete that has torn away from its formal, academic origins. […] Deconstruction and reassembly in nasty extremis.” — David Stubbs, The Wire, on SKIF++’s CD ‘SK++[01,02,03,04,00]‘
Myo is the solo project of Cory O’Brien, a self taught hacker, computer musician and electro-acoustic improviser. Contact mics on polycarbonate sheets and feedback networks programmed in Max/MSP are the preferred tools. His music has been described by Vital Weekly as “louder, dirtier, gritty and angular, but still with ingredients of microsound”. Other projects and collaborations include Never Work (with Kenneth Yates of Harm Stryker, Insects with Tits), Makioki Sisters (with Jeff Surak / Violet) and Clouds-Out (with video artist Jesse Hartgraves). He currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

Sean McIntyre has been a part of SHARE since August 2009. Though he was timid when he first started, now he’s enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. Sean plays an electric two-string junk guitar, which he constructed under the tutelage of Brooklyn sound artist Ranjit Bhatnagar. The sound is processed using custom SuperCollider software.
Sean would like to dedicate this performance to Queens.

Tonight’s featured guests:
1) TreeSpeedMusic
Cologne-based musician and visual artist aka Andreas Hirsch, brings a peculiar instrument he has been developing: the Palmonica, an electrified palm tree leaf that produces sounds akin to the thumb piano’s.
Via live sampling procedures and effect pedals he is building up pieces that have both references to minimal music and electronics.
Influences reach from Fluxus Music, Moon Dog through to Southeast Asian Music.
In 1998, Hirsch performed Robin Page’s “Plant Piece” at The Roxy in New York, for the opening gala show of “Playing with Matches”, by Al & Beck Hansen; the piece found him intimidating a plastic plant for 45 minutes. Since then, Hirsch has been involved with TreeSpeedMusic.
During March 2010 TreeSpeedMusic has been creating his performance project “TreeSpeedIsland” at the Watermill Center on Long Island. His gig at the Project Issue Room will involve elements of this project.
Hirsch has been exhibiting and performing throughout Europe, involving concerts at “La Nuit Blanche” in Paris, Kunsthalle Fridericianum in Kassel, Germany and Danese, NYC.

2) 10 (Itta + Marqido)
Itta and Marqido are two previously solo experimental musicians who paired up in 2005 to create 10. Independently successful, together, they burst through art festivals throughout much of Asia and parts of Europe, gaining recognition as one of the most active and creative bands on the Asian indie scene.
They met in Seoul at an international experimental music gathering at Bulgasari and were impressed by each others performances. Itta suggested that they tour together and soon after they formed 10, a name that marks the date they met, October 10th, and also symbolizes their union; 1 represents Itta, or “to be”, and 0 represents the first part of Marqido’s name, Maru, or “cycle.”
The two make an artistically complete pair. Their dynamic compositions and improvisations conjugate an assortment of instruments and various art forms. Marqido is a Japanese noise artist with psychedelic and avant-garde influence. For him, the intrigue of using the laptop as an instrument is that the noise seems to mysteriously come about without the listener or viewer being able to definitively identify how. Itta is a Korean vocalist who plays the melodica, piano, accordion, mini synthesizer, key-tar, drum kit, and numerous toys. For her, noise is a poetic device. Itta is an extravagant performer while Marqido is antagonistically still. Together they render a sound and performance that is innocent and explosive, unexpected but not awkward. 10’s performance has provoked words from critics from: “bizarre,” “abrasive,” and “ironic,” to: “intriguing,” “alluring,” and “intricate.”

Share – free audio & video jam – In the Munch Room @ The (OA) Can Factory
What is Share?
SHARE is first and foremost a platform to explore expression, in a variety of artforms. Through its weekly open jam sessions, SHARE.nyc engages its participants and spectators in a continually changing dialog on art and culture. As such, SHARE represents an ongoing exploration of collaborative performance as cultural exchange. It mines the relationship of artistic practice to cultural identity, remapping a multiplicity of cultural discourses. The act of creating artistic content in a multicultural collaborative context is a fascinating and natural extension of the SHARE concept.
