Recorded live at Issue Project Room in March 2012, celebrated piano/percussion quartet Yarn/Wire premiere "Eliminated Artist", a collaboration with electronic artist Pete Swanson. Best known as one half of the now-defunct noise duo Yellow Tears, Swanson has since embarked on solo projects that range between free guitar noise, dismantled techno, and electronic soundscapes. For “Eliminated Artist,” Swanson recorded improvised rehearsals by Yarn/Wire and worked with the ensemble to craft a repeatable framework for live performance. A combination of acoustic signal and rehearsal recordings were then constructed into a live electronic mix by Swanson during the performance.
