The 15th Annual San Francisco Electronic Music Festival is proud to offer four evenings of stimulating performances by a diverse cadre of composers and performers in the electronic music field. This year's lineup includes a wide variety of electronic music, ranging from live tape collage, noise, musique concrete, and sound design to free improvisation. The featured artists utilize instruments such as analog synthesizers, home-brewed electronics, acoustic instruments, and laptop patches.

SFEMF has invited a distinctive group of artists from across the field of electronic music. On the main stage at Brava Theater Center we are presenting UK-based industrial-ambient legends :zoviet*france:, renowned electronic composer Nic Collins (Chicago), field recording maverick and live tape collagist Aki Onda (New York), violist/composer Ezra Buchla, German sound artist and circuit bender Joker Nies (Cologne), ambient electronic composer Sarah Davachi, violinist/composer Christina Stanley, electro-acoustic artist Xô Xinh, and ambient loop composer Julia Mazawa. And on our special opening night concert at the Exploratorium's Kanbar Forum, composer David Dunn and antic keyboardist Head Boggle (with live visuals by Caitlin Denny) will be playing through the immersive Meyer Sound Constellation system."

"Don Buchla and Alessandro Cortini. Photos by Michael Zelner."

"They began the set with a piece for “dueling Buchlas” by Cortini entitled Everything Ends Here. It opened with low notes and filtered analog drones, followed by sounds that were more windy and wispy before becoming more defined. There was a pattern with suspending major harmonies, then loud noises, moments of massive distortion, and then very low “sub bass” tones..."

Stimulating voltage - Don Buchla Interview & Live Performance Tonight

"The first Buchla Box, using touch-sensitive pads or ports rather than a standard keyboard, was funded with a $500 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Today it's permanently ensconced at Mills College. On a side note, Buchla estimates it would easily go for $30,000. Buchla still tackles new designs — he has a multichannel filter that can serve as a Vocoder coming out next month — and his instruments, it seems, "don't depreciate at all, so they're good investments."

'But I prefer to build them for playing.'"

You can find the full interview on sfbg. Note Don Buchla will be performing with Alessandro Cortini at the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival (SFEMF) tonight [previously posted].
