3.29 @ 8 pm:
Frank Bretschneider
+ Yannick Franck
Frank Bretschneider works as a musician, composer and video artist in Berlin. His work is known for precise sound placement, complex, interwoven rhythmic structures and its minimal, flowing approach. Described as abstract analogue pointillism, ambience for spaceports, or hypnotic echochamber pulsebeat, Bretschneider’s subtle and detailed music is echoed by his visuals: perfectly translated realizations of the qualities found in music within visual phenomena.
Yannick Franck (b. 1981, Liège, Belgium) is a sound and visual artist. He lives and works in Gent, Belgium. He runs the independent label Idiosyncratics Records. He is the founder of electroacoustic project Y.E.R.M.O. (Venice Biennial 2009, Pavilion of Luxembourg) in which he’s active since 2005 with guitarist Xavier Dubois and drummer Jason Van Gulick.

Unsound Festival New York Labs: Collaborations 1:
HATI with Z’ev + Dawid Szczesny with MERCE (Shelley Burgon & Maria Chavez) + Anna Zaradny with Aki Onda
Unsound New York Labs kicks off at ISSUE Project Room with a series of collaborations: HATI (PL) collaborates with Z’ev (US); Dawid Szczesny (PL) collaborates with harpist Shelley Burgon & avant-turntablist Maria Chavez (US); and Anna Zaradny (PL) collaborates with New York-based Walkman manipulator Aki Onda (US). Unsound Labs comes from the idea of festival as laboratory, a place where artists are free to experiment and collaborate with their peers.
4.2 @ 8 pm:
Unsound Festival New York Labs: Collaborations 2:

SHARE - open a/v jam
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.
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.
Bring your equipment / instruments / gear etc. to join the jam!
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.

Original Innocence
Still time to
get tickets for ISSUE's first-ever operatic commission, Original Innocence! Check out their free music and promo video below:
Dave Nuss (of the No Neck Blues Band) and playwright Eric Sanders have teamed up, and for the past five years have been working on an opera Original Innocence, which will be premiered in a workshop performance at ISSUE Project Room this Friday (3/25, 8 & 10 pm). Their tale weaves threads of Eastern mysticism, feminism and the dissolution of opposites that form the basis of the Judeo-Christian creation myth into a 75-minute production that reimagines the myth as a form of liberation.
