The Bay Area's legendary annual event dedicated 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 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 local sound art community is also well-represented, with works by THOM BLUM, CLIFF CARUTHERS, NATHAN CORDER, THOMAS DIMUZIO, JAMES GOODE, MATT INGALLS, DAVID MICHALAK, KRISTIN MILTNER, BARBARA NERNESS, MAGGI PAYNE, STELLA SINGER, and DONALD SWEARINGEN(1950 - 2025) performed throughout the festival. Saturday's 9:30 PM concert focuses on late-night-appropriate works that lean toward ambient and long-form sonic exploration. The festival concludes on Sunday night with a major presentation of BERNARD PARMEGIANI'S monumental 1984 masterpiece, La Création du monde, performed in its full, concert-length duration from a newly released four-track version.
