The 2009 San Francisco Tape Music Festival, curated by sfSound’s SF Tape Music Collective, will take place this January 30th, 31st, and February 1st at CELLspace. The three night Festival of audio art will feature classic as well as recent and new fixed media compositions by 30 local and international composers. The expansive venue is uniquely suited to shaping the sound which will be diffused live over a pristine surround system consisting of 20+ speakers. Seated in the dark, it’s a unique opportunity to experience music forming, literally, around you. This year marks both 50- and 60-year anniversaries, being 50 years since many now-classic “tape music” pieces had their world premieres, and being 60 years since Pierre Schaeffer presented “Concert de Bruits,” the first concert of musique concrète. So over the three nights of the Festival, works from these periods by Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, Pierre Schaeffer, Edgard Varèse, Iannis Xenakis, as well as more recent pieces by Paul Lansky, Paul McCartney, and others will be presented. And in honor of Olivier Messiaen’s 100th birth year his sole tape piece “Timbres-Durées” (1952) will be presented. As in past annual SF Tape Music Festivals, this year will also feature new works by several local composers, including Ashley Bellouin, Kyle Bruckmann, George Cremaschi, Janis Mercer, Maggi Payne, Moe! Staiano, Jon Leidecker/Wobbly, Aaron Ximm, and premieres by SFTMC’s own Thom Blum, Cliff Caruthers, Matt Ingalls, and Kent Jolly. The annual SF Tape Music Festival — it’s cinema for your ears!
