The San Francisco Tape Music Festival
Call for works
The San Francisco Tape Music Festival is seeking "fixed" electroacoustic works (aka works for tape alone) for performance in the our upcoming festival, January 20—22, 2012. This annual 3-day festival is one of the few proponents of live sound projection in the USA, drawing capacity crowds in recent years. We perform all pieces over a 16+ speaker system capable of BEAST-style diffusion of stereo works, multi-channel works, and works in B-format ambisonics. Questions or comments can be sent to: tapecenter@sfsound.org. Please visit our website for more information and to submit your work for consideration.

Deadline: October 31, 2011
