ISSUE revives its series of extremely remote collaborations. Tonight's show plays right into this List's not-very-sub subtext: contemporary classical isn't very (or any) different from at least some contemporary pop (or, to put it another way, genre distinctions are stupid). So we have Louis Carnell, whom you might know as the London electronic musician (although he's been getting kinda songful lately) Visionist, collaborating (from his grandmother's house) with the improvising-composing-conceptualizing cellist Okkyung Lee (from her parents' house).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Death in the Gulfstream: pour 2 oz. Genever, 1 oz. lime juice, and 1/2 oz. Simple Syrup, with 1 lime twist, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a rocks glass over crushed ice. Add 4 dashes of Angostura bitters. Garnish with a lime wedge. Drink through a (metal) straw.
