Tonight’s featured guest is Gry
Gry was born in Denmark in 1975, and grew up in Denmark, Norway and Mozambique. For the past 20 years she has been writing, composing and performing sound art, opera, radio plays, acapella, electronic and pop music. Her unique way of singing and using her voice include recording and looping of words, rhythms, and tones, creating experimental and melodic compositions. Gry’s text work has its own poetic logic; in her idiosyncratic way she deals with love, life, and death in both Danish and English, in some songs even with these and many other languages mixed together. In her live performances each composition is build up from scratch leaving the artist naked for the audience who can follow the act of creation while it happens. With her outstanding voice, exceptional originality and beauty, Gry is embodying the spectrum from dramatic pop to crazy avant-garde in a way that makes her a candidate for one of the most stunning contemporary divas.
In the beginning of the 90’s Gry founded the the sound-art group Æter with Jacob Kirkegaard and they started their first City Scape Europe, capturing the sounds, images and words from European metropoles and made compositions and concerts with the material. Gry then met the legendary drummer FM Einheit (Einstürzende Neubauten) and they started the band GRY, creating hits such as Princes crocodile and touring both Europe and USA. In 2000 Gry started a master study at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne and graduated in 2006 during the study time She founded the group The Loverz. She then moved to Berlin to start her own label, Present Records, and in In 2008 Gry released her first solo album, “Anima”. Anima is the first EP in he trilogy “X-ident” which will all be released on Present Records.

Unsound Festival New York Labs @ Littlefield: Skull Defekts w/ Daniel Higgs + Zomes + Paul Wirkus

Baltimore-based Zomes (a project of another ex-Lungfish member Asa Osborne) and the Polish-born musician Paul Wirkus will open the night.
This event will take place at Littlefield at 622 Degraw Street, presented by ISSUE Project Room and Unsound New York Labs.
Chris Forsyth & The Paranoid Cat Band + Suzanne Langille and Neel Murgai
Paranoid Cat (Family Vineyard) is Philadelphia guitarist Chris Forsyth’s third solo album – a sprawling, harmonically-charged side-long suite backed by a clutch of compositions merging raw and delicate American roots traditions. After more than a decade trotting the globe and recording with a mess of today’s avant-garde greats, plus co-leading the brazenly absurd Peeesseye, Forsyth has arranged a full band to accompany his electric six-string vision of interlocking arpeggios and maximalist peaks. He will be joined by Mike Pride (drums), Peter Kerlin (bass), Don Bruno (organ), and Hans Chew (piano).
Vocalist Suzanne Langille and multi-instrumentalist Neel Murgai perform in a distinctive voice-percussion duo, much like they did on their recent release Wild & Foolish Heart (Family Vineyard). The Wire mentions how Langille “[throws] herself at the feet of her material,” letting go of her ego. Langille, best-known for her recording work with Loren Mazzacane Connors, began collaborating with Murgai in the late 1990s.
Improvvisatore Involontario presents: Naked Musicians, Skinshout, Electroshop – curated by Marco Cappelli
Described as “the talk of the italian jazz scene” [Jazzit, december 2006] since its birth in 2004, Improvvisatore Involontario has soon become one of the most innovative and relevant artists’ collectives in Europe.
…Drummer Francesco Cusa along with guitarists Paolo Sorge and Carlo Natoli, founders of the association, have spread their connections worldwide starting from Catania (Sicily): the association counts today more than 20 members hailing from Rome, Milan, Paris, Berlin and New York where Marco Cappelli (virtuoso guitarist and fellow member) has long established himself among the most active performers in the downtown avantgarde scene.
Now, after European tours and gratifying reviews of its members’ newest records on the US press, improvvisatore Involontario lands in NYC to present its orchestra and its latest releases.

E l e c t r o shop (Concrete sound workshop) arises from an original idea by Antonino Chiaramonte and Anna Troisi, and takes the form of an open working group involving artistic collaborations between composers and performers from around the world. Electroshop is a workshop where the building of the sounding artworks (the ”concrete” musical instruments) the programming of original audio signal processing software and the video overlap with the creation of compositions or with electroacoustic improvised performances, achieving a correspondence between the created instruments, the live video and the music. It is in this way that the musical com position conforms to the concept of a “unique work of art”. Sound and video are focused on sensorial faculty. The musicians aim is to create a sort of cosy and intimate sound experience.

The Thirteenth Assembly + Pierre-Yves Macé presents Miniatures/Song Recycle
Forged from a shared history of collaborations ranging from intimate duos to Anthony Braxton’s sprawling Sonic Genome Project, The Thirteenth Assembly features four distinguished musician/composers working together as equals to create distinctively eclectic, yet cohesive music. Drawing on years of familiarity, as well as its members’ diverse backgrounds in genres ranging classical, folk,rock, jazz and the avant-garde, this collective ensemble has performed across the United States and Europe since 2007, and released its debut recording (un)sentimental (Important Records) in 2009.
“Cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum, guitarist Mary Halvorson, violist Jessica Pavone and drummer Tomas Fujiwara are among the most exciting new jazz musicians to emerge on the New York scene,” declares the Wall Street Journal’s Martin Johnson, “and it is hard to talk about any one of these players without mentioning the others. Each of these musicians is a masterly soloist, and they all are creating music that is delicate, complex and eclectic. There isn’t much—if any—repertoire written for cornet-viola-guitar-drum ensembles, but with the appealing blend of unique sonorities and lithe rhythms found on (un)sentimental,that may soon change.”
Critics have credited the group with “truly remarkable capabilities”(Nick Storring, Exclaim!), “a knack for detailed and apropos framing of each others’ solo turns” (Bill Meyer, Dusted), and “an admirably relaxed sense of self, and a shared conviction to keep all options open” (Nate Chinen, New York Times). AllAboutJazz.com’s Troy Collins adds, “The unified ensemble sound of The Thirteenth Assembly is centered around empathetic communication and a willingness to subvert ego for the good of the group; there is no grandstanding here, only four longstanding friends conspiring to make adventurous yet accessible music. A stunning achievement,(un)sentimental demonstrates the endless possibilities of contemporary music by players at the top of their game.”
Pierre-Yves Macé (1980) is a French musician whose musical practice
encompasses improvisation on machines, a background in piano and classical percussion, jazz-rock/prog-rock bands, dance accompaniments, and an interest in literature and musicology. He received his PhD in Musicology in 2009, which explored phonography and the “sound document” in contemporary music. His first recordings, Faux-Jumeaux, was released on John Zorn’s Tzadik label in 2002. Subsequently, he released Circulations (Sub Rosa, 2005), and Crash_test ii (Tensional integrity) (Orkhêstra, 2006) for a string quartet. He has held residencies at CalArts in Los Angeles, CNMAT in Berkeley (2004), and GRM in Paris (2006, 2008). Macé has performed in the Octobre Festival in Normandie, MIMI, Villette Sonnique, Brocoli Transnumériques. His artistic collaborations include projects with ON (Sylvain Chauveau & Steven Hess), That Summer, Louisville, artist Hippolyte Hentgen, and writers Mathieu Larnaudie, Philippe Vasset, and Christophe Fiat. He is also a member of the Encyclopédie de la parole, a speech encyclopaedia crew whose goal is to constitute a compositional plan through which different forms of recorded speeches may be compared.
Miniatures / song recycle (2010) for piano and tape (including 12 anonymous found voices):
“I began working on this miniature project when I was asked to perform something for piano and laptop. My first concern was to avoid the typical ambient stuff which melts piano and electronics into long and extended movements. As a limited pianist, I also decided to use the instrument more as an accompaniement to something else (a lead part) than as a soloist in itself. All those thoughts lead me to work on a collection of very small pieces which rigorously alternate between “music concrète” miniatures, and songs made of recycled material. The processed voices we hear on those songs come from anonymous a cappella recordings found on the web (and to a lesser extend on films) ; reversed and cut into small fragments, they constitute a completely new musical material which is then accompanied by the piano. Set up that way, the collection of « songs » unexpectedly evoke a traditional lied form, a song cycle made of recycled raw material.”
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 – with featured guests Erin Sexton & Magali Babin
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 Erin Sexton & Magali Babin
Erin Sexton & Magali Babin are both based in Montreal, and being long-time friends of Share community. However, this is their duet debut in NYC at Share.nyc.
Erin Sexton grew up in British Columbia, studying media art at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, exploring the performative aspects of video, sound, and electronics. Experimental and improvised, her work became increasingly about sound and its experience, prompting a move to Montreal in 2004. She began performing in concert and gallery spaces, releasing her first album “aircraft” that same year. Currently she lives in Montreal and spends her time recording gunshots, building instruments, making installations, performing solo, and improvising with other local and international sound artists/experimental musicians.
http://erinsexton.com
Magali Babin has been active on the expérimental and improvised music scenes since the 1980s. Her artistic work is based on playful amplification, sonic interaction and manipulation of everyday objects. One result of ongoing research is her first solo CD, Chemin de fer (No Type) — a work comissionned by Mario Gauthier for Radio-Canada.
Starting with the amplification of the objects, Magali Babin developed an interest for the recording of environmental sounds and “sounds we no longer hear, since they are such an integral part of our routine.” The artist explores and archives this singular and very personal instrumentation with use of electronic implements and contact microphones. The relationship with sound and “the gesture of object interactions” are important aspects of her compositions.
In parallel with her compositional work, her research activities are presently focused on capturing natural and environmental phenomena, fabricating different types of microphones and exploring acoustic phenomena of performance spaces.
For the last ten years the artist has performed with unique and unexpected sonorities, both solo and in the company of musicians, dancers and performers. Magali Babin is spoken-of as one of the central personalities on the high risk improvisation scene in Montréal.
Magali Babin presented concerts at international electronic music festivals in the Americas (Mutek- Suoni Per Il Popolo/Montréal, Mois Multi/Québec, send+receive/Winnipeg, New Music Festival/Vancouver, High Zero /USA) as well as in Europe (Hull Time Based Arts/UK, Transmediales /Berlin, Nuit bleue /France) and in performances in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Hambourg, Besançon, Bruxelles…
She has participated on many compilations on different labels such as and/OAR usa, Intransitive Recordings usa, SK Factory, Oral, le son 666. Her work is mentioned in Katharine Norman’s book Sounding Art: Eight Literary Excursions through Electronic Music.
In addition to her artistic solo work Magali regularly collaborates with; Mineminemine (1997) with Éric Létourneau & Alexandre Saint-Onge; Le Quatuor de tables tournantes (The turn table quartet) by Martin Tétreault (2007) with N. Tobin, D. Lafrance, A. McSween; The Nocinema.org collective (2005) Project of French artist Jerome Joy with Chantal Dumas, Jocelyn Robert, Dinah Bird, Luc Kerleo, Emmanuelle Gibello, Alain Michon and others; The Strickland Trio (2010) with Jon Bole and Maïca Mia

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.

Tonight’s featured guest is Jan Trutzschler von Falkenstein
Jan T. is a composer and media artist with an affinity to software design.
His work often focuses on one material or subject, which he sets in different contexts and perspectives. The sound material he uses can be described as having an organic character with a tendency of being noisy and crispy. And there are playful elements in his music, which explore the boundaries of synthetic and concrete sound, digital and mechanic approaches.
He performs solo with SuperCollider and Snyderphonics’ Manta interface, writes music for instruments and computer and creates sonic installations.
Since 2002 he has been an active SuperCollider (SC) developer, which resulted in many contributions to the software and the organization of the second international SuperCollider Symposium in The Hague in 2007.
In 2008 he founded TeaTracks for the creation of mobile applications, which released Gliss in 2009. Gliss is a tilt controlled and performance
oriented sequencer, which lets you draw music and sounds on the iPhone/iPad.

Zeena Parkins Multi-instrumentalist, composer, improvisor, well-known as a pioneer of the electric harp she describes her harp as a “sound machine of limitless capacity”. Zeena’s unique vision is one that seeks to both meld and highlight opposites. She has broken musical boundaries to create a highly personal and stunning body of work. Or, to quote the WDC Period “Music that makes you hike up your britches and howl like a coyote”.
Made possible with the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, FAJE, Chamber Music of America, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Florence Gould Foundation, SACEM, and CulturesFrance.
MAN FOREVER is the solo endeavor of ONEIDA drummer Kid Millions. The self-titled debut–two monolithic, hypnotic improvisations for arrays of drums in just intonation– is due out in an edition of 300 LPs featuring hand-pulled screens on recycled record jackets from Jagjaguwar vinyl imprint St. Ives. The touring quintet of Kid Millions, YEAH YEAH YEAHS drummer Brian Chase, Oneida cohort and KNYFE HYTS drummer Shahin Motia, drummer Allison Busch of AWESOME COLOR, and SIGHTINGS bassist Richard Hoffman, will be augmented by local percussionists in each city.
“Kid Millions, who, as drummer, is unsurpassed in his generation, finds an opportunity with slippery polyrhythmical approaches here, as if to say that the human drummer is the thing that is most controversial in the age of the click track, so there’s no pulse, no melodic home, no melody at all, really, just the thunderous ebbing and flowing of multiple rolls and fills, to replace the massaged rhythmic pulse of the Pro Tools era. It’s a provocation, yes, and a welcome one. And with the provocation comes a fair amount of dizzy joy, and a ritualized release of dammed-up energy.” – Rick Moody, therumpus.net

Re: Destruction
Performance by Daniel Perlin
Re:destruction is a sound and video performance created by smashing a computer with a sledge hammer. It is the fourth piece in a series entitled Work by the artist and sound designer Daniel Perlin.
In re:destruction, a computer is smashed, using a sledge hammer, producing a sound as well as video work. The hammer and the computer are microphoned, sampled, amplified and played as instruments in real time.
Like the preceding pieces in the series, re:destruction is created by a single real-time sample of the sound of the act of labor, mixed with the real-time use of the tool upon objects. In re:destruction, there is the addition of projected color video.
The Work series attempts to examine the implications of sound, noise and music in the processes of the building of physical structures. The fourth performance piece in the series, re: destruction will be performed at Issue Project Room, Broolyn, and dovetails with re: drill performed at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council gallery, re:construction 1 performed at Studio X and re:construction 2 P.S.1, New York.
On January 25, ISSUE Project Room will inaugurate its new space at 110 Livingston with Gaudeamus Muziekweek, a four-day festival celebrating groundbreaking and challenging new music by emerging composers from around the world. Working in partnership ...
ISSUE is starting off the New Year with a change of scenery. That's right, Issue Project Room is moving out of our space at the Old American Can Factory and into 110 Livingston in Downtown Brooklyn. We've had a great run at the Can Factory,...
