Madalyn Merkey / Battle Trance

Californian composer Madalyn Merkey comes to ISSUE to create a new work for the architecture and acoustic properties of our 22 Boerum theater. Merkey's real-time synthesis program, with accompaniment by violinist Dylan Neely, mixes acoustic elements with electronic sounds, generating specific inner ear occurrences in the listener.

The evening opens with Battle Trance, who perform their album-length composition Palace of Wind. This stunning composition for four tenor saxophonists sheds new light on the instrument's ensemble uses, with players using circular breathing to build continuous, hypnotic waves of sound; multiphonics layer to create intricate textures that reflect an ancient time; and blisteringly fast lines seem to liquefy into each other.

Free entry for ISSUE Members! Our annual Members party precedes the show at 7pm, featuring complimentary drinks from Grimm Artisanal Ales.
