The 2009 San Francisco Tape Music Festival, curated by sfSound's SF <span
style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"
class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231785225_7">Tape Music</span> Collective,
will take place <span

class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231785225_9">February 1st</span>
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 <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231785225_10">Pierre
Schaeffer</span> presented "Concert de Bruits," the first concert of <span
style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;"
class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231785225_11">musique concrète</span>. So
over the three nights of the Festival, works from these periods by <span

presented. As in past annual <span class="yshortcuts"
