April 11: Happy Birthday to You, Issue Project Room!

2-1

This Saturday, Issue Project Room (Brooklyn, NY) celebrates its sixth anniversary with “EDO9”, a 17-piece drone composition by artist-in-residence Duane Pitre. Working primarily with acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments—here, strings, woodwinds, and bowed guitar—Pitre combines long-tones and microtonal tuning schemes to create mile-long blankets of flickering, overtone-laden bliss. Also on the menu for the evening, a second ensemble performance by the prodigious Tony Conrad, the title and nature of which have yet to be disclosed.
