Floating Points of Sound

Stephen Moore's sound system for Issue Project Room

For those of you who are interested in sound -- or in the synesthesia of the audible and the visual -- the Issue Project Room in Brooklyn is a place that should be on your radar. This week they kick off their 4th annual Floating Points Festival -- a celebration of their "multi-channel hemispherical sound system" designed by Stephan Moore.
The Festival, co-curated by ISSUES founder/artistic director Suzanne Fiol and Moore, brings in emerging and established sound designers and composers who perform new works on the system which was created to help the listener "experience sound spatialization as a dynamic compositional element." Cool.
Just a few of the artists and musicians featured in performances over the next couple of weeks are: Hisham Bharoocha w/Ben Vida + Ateleia and Sadek Bazaraa, Alan Licht, Shelley Burgon. See Hear Now (David & Gisele Gamper), and Lesley Flanigan.
If this is your kind of venue, you should definitely subscribe to Issue's weekly e-news mailer when you're on their site.
