The New San Francisco Tape Music Center returns to ODC Theater for
its annual Festival. This three day event of fixed media audio art
features an impressive and meticulously placed arrangement of sixteen
speakers, immersing the audience in an exploratory and experimental
sound environment focused on the listening experience. Highlights
include classics by Toru Takemitsu, Ilhan Mimaroglu, Herbert Brün,
Louis and Bebe Barron, Jackson MacLow and a complete evening
celebrating the work of Luc Ferrari (1929-2005), including a video
profile by Veronique Larcher and ELSA Productions. Featured local
composers include Cenk Ergün, Maggi Payne, Joseph Anderson, Ava
Mendoza, Cliff Caruthers, MaryClare Brzytwa, Thom Blum, and Matt
Ingalls. In an era when 'surround sound' has become commonplace,
these artists' development of sound diffusion as a compositional
technique creates a sonic experience you won't soon forget. Come and
enjoy this cutting edge art form at its best.

_________________________________________
About Tape Music and nSFTMC
In the early part of the 20th century when the idea of recorded
sounds was still novel, a new kind of music began to emerge. This
music did not treat the recording medium as a stand-in for an absent
performer, or a document of a musical performance, but as a vital and
unique territory for exploration in and of itself. Tape music does
not depend upon the posturing of performers. It does not worship the
technology with which it was produced, or the physical medium in
which it is contained. It is a sonic inquiry, sculpting a new kind
of music from the entire palette of sound.
The New San Francisco Tape Music Center (nSFTMC) began seven years
ago in true underground fashion in a warehouse in East Oakland. They
wired the space with speakers, borrowed professional equipment and
threw a concert. Since then they have become one of the premiere
presenters of fixed media composition on the West Coast. They have
deliberately assumed the name and model of the 1960's San Francisco
Tape Music Center. In doing so they recognize the history of the
Tape Music Center and their past contributions to electronic music
while looking and listening to the future.
