WHAT: The San Francisco Electronic Music Festival
WHEN: Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 through Sunday, September 7, 2008
Box office and installations open one hour before concert times.
The 2008 San Francisco Electronic Music Festival consists of five evenings of stimulating performances by internationally recognized artists and musicians in the electronic music field. This year's lineup includes a wide array of electronic music pioneers, modern innovators, and emerging artists, ranging in styles and methods including contemporary chamber music, glitch, industrial sounds, music concrete, sound design, drone music, free improvisation and avant-pop music. The technology represented will range from old school synthesizers to the most modern laptop computer patches, including exploration of interactions between acoustic and electronic instruments. SFEMF 2008 will include several performances of works featuring sfSound Group, one of the Bay Area's premiere 20th century and 21st century contemporary music chamber ensembles.
For this year's festival, SFEMF has invited a diverse group of artists from across the field of electronic music, including electronic music pioneer Pauline Oliveros in a special collaboration with Tokyo-based electro-acoustic composer Carl Stone, as well as New York minimalist Phill Niblock, modern glitch-pop singer/musician Tujiko Noriko, synthesizer improvisation innovator Richard Teitelbaum, sound designer/composer/author Akira Rabelais, an opera from CNMAT co-director Edmund Campion, oscilloscope-inspired audio-visual artist Ray Sweeten, electro-acoustic trombonist Monique Buzzarté, LA improviser/filmmaker Hans Fjellestad, electronic experimental pop duo Myrmyr, intense noise artist Sharkiface, Iranian-American post-industrial musician Ata 'Sote' Ebtekar, scientific theory-inspired computer music duo Barpieces, and Rutro and the Logs, a 5-piece ensemble comprised of local improvisation and harsh noise all-stars. Every evening, installations by three sound artists, Jen Boyd, Clay Chaplin, and Alex Potts, will be on exhibition in the lobby and Artaud Café Gallery.
