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.
Established in 2006, ISSUE’s AIR program provides emerging artists with a 3-month residency including rehearsal space, production, curatorial, and pr/marketing support to create new works, to reach the next stage in their artistic development, and gain exposure to a broad public audience. ISSUE’s Artist-in-Residence program is made possible, in part, through generous support from the Jerome Foundation, the Suzanne Fiol Memorial Fund, and with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in New York’s 62 counties.

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.

Featured Guest: Yukiko Shimizu
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.
Share is an open jam, not just for digirati, but for all new culture lovers. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others’ signal and perform live audio and video. We furnish the amplification and projection. Share happens every Sunday.
