Photograph of a darkened performance space, ISSUE Project Room in Brooklyn. One performer is lying on the floor in the far right corner and only part of his head and torso can be seen. Photo is taken from the second row, with a row of people sitting in front of the camera and others sitting on cushions on the ground. On the white wall in the background are screened two lines of text, describing sounds presumably being played in the room at the time. They state, "A second deep tone joins the first to create an unstable dissonant harmony. Higher whistle tones emerge in tone clusters, providing a chromatic glint. The white noise continues unabated."
As usual I loved the gorgeous sound descriptions by
@charleseppley.bsky.social last night at Air Change Per Hour, Anna RG's sold out performance at ISSUE on sound & accessibility "in the context of airborne safety." Compositions sculpted from air filter sounds, the breath of sick artists, and more.

If you're familiar with my work, you may also (correctly) deduce that the program focuses on disability culture, history, art, and media in addition to topics of social science, psychology, law, education, etc.
oh! sorry to not see you / chat. pre-talk technical issues (i had to remake my entire slide deck right as the panel started)
