COMING SOON: Susan Howe & David Grubbs: Thiefth LP & Letterpress Print

Originally released on CD in 2005 and out of print for a decade,Thiefth is the first of four collaborations between poet Susan Howe and musician David Grubbs. This first LP edition, a limited run of 100 copies, is accompanied by a special edition letterpress print produced by Grenfell Press. Howe and Grubbs were first brought together when the Fondation Cartier in Paris proposed a collaborative performance. Grubbs had been a dedicated reader of Howe’s for more than a decade, and the opportunity to work with Howe’s poetry and her voice immediately intrigued. In late 2003, the two set about to create performance versions of “Thorow” and “Melville’s Marginalia,” the two of Howe’s longer poems that comprise Thiefth.

Pre-order on now, released September 18.

Known for his uncompromising tape and synthesizer work, Pete Swanson has pushed the limits of electronic music since the early 2000s. Since stepping down as half of formative underground duo Yellow Swans, he has subverted the genres of noise and electronic dance music as a solo artist. For Eliminated Artist, the third LP release from ISSUE Project Room’s Distributed Objects imprint, Swanson ventures into new territories with two works at the intersection of electronic and acoustic sound, created in collaboration with New York instrumental quartet Yarn/Wire. Combining electronics, tape loops, and modular synthesizer with Yarn/Wire’s unique ensemble of two pianists and two percussionists, both works were recorded live at ISSUE Project Room, initiated as part of the ensemble’s 2011 residency at the Brooklyn venue and presenting organization.

The three members of the beloved indie rock band Yo La Tengo form the core of Little Black Egg Big Band, a group expanded to include the bassist from the classic punk group Pere Ubu and luminaries from the world of underground jazz (Susie Ibarra and Daniel Carter among them). The ensemble name derives from drummer Georgia Hubley’s solo guitar project Little Black Egg, but Yo La Tengo is known for a wide and diverse repertoire of cover songs, so don’t be surprised if the set-list spans in a show presented by Issue Project Room. The setting offers space to spread out too, in a 24,000-square-foot “Center for Art and Innovation” near the industrial waterfront in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

French-born Ariel Kalma’s boundary-blurring electronic music spans free-jazz and spoken word trips to his infinite modular synthesizer and analogue drum machine meditations, often laden with wistful sax melodies. A pioneer in the field of modularly synthesized electronic music, Kalma finds an ideal collaborator in Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, who has gained renown for hypnotic modular and voice improvisations as Lichens. The two electronic synth voyagers came together recently at the invitation of Matt Werth, an intergenerational collaboration that yielded the duo’s recent LP, We Know Each Other Somehow, (2015) on the RVNG labels’ FRKWYS imprint. Traveling along parallel paths until now, together these artists summon another world, merging the collective voice with their own.

A weekend series of programs devoted to works by the composer, conductor, performer and avatar of experimental music is ushering in concerts at the museum.

#David Rosenboom

Composer-performer, David Rosenboom and percussionist William Winant, improvise together here from a 2012 performance. Musical collaborators for over 30 years, the pair open ISSUE & the Whitney Museum’s 3-day retrospective of Rosenboom, “Propositional Music” tomorrow evening, Friday, May 22 with “Zones of Influence”. A five-part epic composed expressly for Winant, the work was an early breakthrough in linking virtuoso electroacoustic performance with interactive compositional algorithms.
