America's only festival devoted to the performance of audio works projected in three-dimensional space, The San Francisco Tape Music Festival features four distinct concerts of classic audio art and new fixed media compositions by 26 local and international composers. Hear members of the SF Tape Music Collective, along with guest composers, shape the sound live over a pristine surround system (24 high-end loudspeakers) with the audience seated in complete darkness. It's a unique opportunity to experience music forming - literally - around you.
The 2018 Festival's first two concerts showcase the entire range of the “fixed media” artform; the Saturday late-night show presents longer, psychedelic, and ambient tape pieces; and the Sunday concert features an entire concert of “audio postcards” and “sound walk” compositions. Throughout the festival, composers from the empreintes DIGITALes label will be highlighted.
Remembering the pioneering work of one of the fathers of musique concrète, Pierre Henry (1927-2017), the festival presents a performance of his seminal work, Variations For a Door And a Sigh (1963). Other tape music classics include Karlheinz Stockhausen's quadraphonic Ges
Recent works by international artists Hildegard Westerkamp, Jonty Harrison, Francis Dhomont, Natasha Barrett, and others will be performed alongside bay area composers Thom Blum, Cliff Caruthers, Nathan Corder, Matt Ingalls, Fernando Lopez-Lezscano, Maggi Payne, Adam Sohn, Sophia Shen / Gabby Wen, Tim Walters, and Chamberlain Zhang.
