Our friends at {open} in Long Beach will be presenting a fearlessly unique evening of experimental psychogeographical sound in which a roster of audio artists remix samples from movies filmed in a certain city with field recordings from the same city. Tonight, Long Beach—featured in films from Anchorman to The Poseidon Adventure to The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies?!—will listen deep within itself and discover something no man could predict… more info here and below!

I.S.O.P: Intense Situations of Peril is an improvising ensemble of electronic/laptop musicians who perform new, hybridized soundtracks to the cities in which they perform. Source material is sampled from the audio track of a mainstream motion picture filmed in a particular city, then collaged with raw audiovisual data collected on location.With a fluctuating roster of touring and local musicians and video artists, the ensemble will sample and manipulate the city’s source material, improvising a completely unrehearsed image stream and soundscape, a one-of-a-kind audiovisual remix of place.
