Tonight’s featured guest is Shinya Sugimoto / KenYa Kawaguchi / Jeremy D. Slater (1 set)
Shinya Sugimoto (1979) is a New York-based Japanese composer and recording engineer. Sugimoto merges recorded samples such as Renaissance choral, nature sound, electronic sound and improvisational piano phrases into a polyphonic structure of multilayered sound, creates obscure soundscapes, which are often grotesque and catastrophic. Although largely based on western classical tonality and twelve-tone technique, his musical style crosses over immensely broad field.
Born in Japan, Sugimoto studied piano, classical harmony, counterpoint and audio engineering. Around 2000, under the influence of glitch electronic music, he started using Max/MSP, developed a texture-oriented compositional method, which was also deeply rooted in 20th-century classical music and ambient music by composers such as Claude Debussy, Arnold Schoenberg, Olivier Messiaen, Toru Takemitsu and Brian Eno.
After settling in New York City in 2006, Sugimoto has been involved in various projects as a recording engineer, pianist, arranger and film composer. He has been frequently attending SHARE open jam sessions, played solo performance sets at ISSUE Project Room in 2009 and in 2010. He currently resides and works in Brooklyn.

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.

Tonight’s featured guest is Jasmina Maschina (Australia – Staubgold/Monika Enterprise)
Jasmina Maschina’s folk soundscapes transport you into her unique world of electronics and song.
Firmly rooted in experimental electronics with an equal dedication to song, composition and free, improvised music, Jasmina Maschina melds the most simple and innocent chord progressions of time-honoured folk music with breathtakingly beautiful noise to create the sensation of tingling on both the skin and mind.
Based on her personal style of gentle guitar picking and a noisenik’s attraction to repetition, drone and inventiveness, her songs are capable at any moment of erupting into intoxicating noise, seducing you into her otherworldly sounds.
Jasmina recorded and produced her acclaimed debut solo album, ‘The Demolition Series’, in 2008, for the German label Staubgold. Following extensive touring throughout Europe, China and Australia in 2010,
Jasmina Maschina released the inaugural ‘City Splits: #1 Berlin’ with golden diskó ship on Gudrun Gut’s label Monika Enterprise.
Live, Jasmina teams up with multi instrumentalist Theresa Stroetges (golden diskó ship) to perform hauntingly beautiful variations of her songs. Fragile layers of sound swirl magnificently around your ears binding the overpass between sensuality and stoicism, ephemera and the sublime, hesitation and intoxication.

PRESS
‘Superb debut album of beautiful folk guitar music from Berlin based Maschina, better known perhaps as one half of experimental electronic outfit Minit. This is straight-ahead folk filtered through an imaginative electro-prism that knocks Cat Power into a cocked hat.’
- Dominic Al-Badri – Kansai Time Out
‘Really and truly there are no low points or filler tracks here, the songs, changing pace and instrumental colouring through out are always consistent in songwriting flare, harmonic homing and rich, accomplished and soothing playing. I can see this appealing to anyone and everyone and not just folk fans as the Demolition Series is a collection of great tuneful, well written and conceived tracks, performed with great passion, feeling and depth. One of the high points of this year and surly the debut album of the year’
- Roger Batty, Musique Machine
‘As the album develops, Maschina’s history with Minit manifests itself; that group’s affinity for repetition, drone, and alterations of a pygmy sort informs and strengthens these songs. Inasmuch as these inclinations refresh the timbral palette, they also affirm a consistency of tone that pays off handsomely. In setting off on this path and discovering something so deeply personal, Maschina has accessed a sublime form that is well beyond herself.’

Bassist and composer James Ilgenfritz kicks off his first Artist-in-Residence performance with the music of Anthony Braxton for solo bass. Ilgenfritz will also bring a chamber ensemble to premiere a new work for septet, featuring Leah Paul (flute), Kirk Knuffke (trumpet), Julianne Carney (violin), Chris Dingman (vibraphone), Taylor Levine (guitar), and Sara Schoenbeck (bassoon), with Ilgenfritz on contrabass. The evening will conclude with Billy Fox’s Blackbirds and Bullets celebration of their CD release Dulces, which includes Ilgenfritz on bass.
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.
Emerging Artists Commission: Ben Vida — Piece for Difference Tones (interrupted) & (computer controlled) Analog Sound Objects
The second of ISSUE’s 2011 Emerging Artists Commissions, awarded to composer, improviser, and multi-instrumentalist Ben Vida, features Vida’s Piece for Difference Tones (interrupted) & (computer controlled) Analog Sound Objects. The new work focuses on the intersections between analog and digital sound synthesis systems. These systems produce what Vida calls “non-representational sound objects,” which are generated in the inner ear rather than from an outside source. It is in these moments, when the inner ear-activating difference tones are punctured by analog exclamations, that a deeper spatialization is revealed and the listener’s aural perception is expanded.
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.
AIR: Nate Wooley presents The Seven Storey Mountain
Trumpet player Nate Wooley, a 2011 ISSUE Artist-in-Residence, will present The Seven Storey Mountain, a 7-part series of abstractions and additive processes on the theme of ecstaticism. Each performance features elements of all the proceeding performances, and consists of a layered tape background over which Wooley combines graphic notation and inprovisation. Performers include Paul Lytton, Chris Corsano, David Grubbs, C. Spencer Yeh, Matt Moran, and Chris Dingman. Wooley’s performances and recordings, called “exquisitely hostile,” have been numbered amongst a privileged handful that have helped to shape a new approach to the instrument.
Immediately following the concert, Artistic Advisory Board Member David Grubbs will host a Q&A reception for ISSUE members with Nate Wooley
Rafael Toral & Ben Hall
Rafael Toral plays experimental electronic instruments. Strongly interested in phrasing, he calls his style “post-free jazz electronic music,” once described as “a brand of electronic music far more visceral and emotive than that of his cerebral peers.” Toral’s Space Program, while researching performance possibilities, delivers music that is full of clarity, articulating silence and sound in a thoughtful, yet physical way.
Improvising percussionist Ben Hall is a founding member of the 1/4 speed jazz group Graveyards with John Olson of Wolf Eyes. He works with object-based percussion as well as trap set, and curates the label brokenresearch, which focuses on new American improvisation.

8pm, free —
Tonight’s featured guest are Bernd Klug and Berangere Maximin
1) Bernd Klug, double bass (Vienna, Austria)
Currently residing in Vienna, Klug works as a double bass player in a wide variety of contemporary contexts with a focus on improvisation.
Projects and collaborations with: Meaghan Burke (rash), Danielle Dahl, Mimu, önczkekvist, Burkhard Stangl, Le Cowboy (Burke/Schweighart/Klug), John Butcher, ctrl, Franz Hautzinger, Ritornell, Sixtus Preiss and many others.
Klug is a charter member of the Viennese improvisation collective “snim”.
His current compositional cycle “sine tempore” is a series of works which experiments with sound designs in non-dramatic contexts.

statement_________________________________________________
Klug presents himself and his double bass as a live sound installation, focusing on the frequencies of both instrument and room and the feedback thereof. The interaction of instrument and space becomes form and the interference of the human elements produces structure. Attention shapes intention; angst becomes aesthetic.

2) Berangere Maximin
Berangere Maximin spent her childhood in the remote French colonial island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean and moved to France at the age of fifteen. Performing first as a singer, she later studied electroacoustic music with the composer Denis Dufour at the Perpignan Conservatoire. Her first professional experiences occurred in Paris, and in 2002 she moved there permanently.
As a composer, she is most interested in preserving the spirit of live music in the studio, a passion passed on to her from her friends —guitarists and singers in rock and world music bands. Working out of her own Home Sweet Home Studio, she shoots sounds in a dark silent room, records soundscapes and acoustic sounds, plays with sampling, digital effects, performs on a variety of objects and sings. Her attraction to light and powerful sounds gives her work a very unique quality.
After the release of her debut album “Tant Que Les heures Passent” (As Long As The Hours Go By) on Tzadik Records in September 2008, Berangere Maximin performed her solo concert ‘Stuck in a Nasty Little Film’ for the first time that fall, in Paris (Mains d’oeuvres) and New York City (Roulette, The Stone). This series of pieces for live voice and electronics has continued to develop on the road, in numerous festivals and musical events in Europe.
‘Working out of her own Home Sweet Home Studio in Paris, she creates landscapes that pull you in and hold your attention with a keen sense of detail and subtle sense of surprise. A seductive and beautiful debut CD from one of the most personal and passionate new voices in electroacoustic music.’
John Zorn.
