Recorded live from ISSUE in June 2013, percussionist Eli Keszler and saxophonist Ashley Paul perform a duo as part of the PAN_ACT festival.

The split tone combinations from these instruments is surprising and overwhelming, creating continuously shifting, multi-layered harmonics and intense inner ear sound. Ashley Paul returns to ISSUE October 26th 2013, performing solo as part of Ten Years Alive on the Infinite Plain. Eli Keszler is a composer, artist and multi-instrumentalist based in New York City.
