Call For Works


The San Francisco Tape Music Collective is seeking "fixed" electroacoustic works (aka tape pieces) for possible performance in our next festival.

All pieces are projected over a 16+ speaker system capable of BEAST-style diffusion of stereo works, multi-channel works, and works in B-format ambisonics.

We are a non-funded and non-academic collective, and kindly request a donation with your submission. It is NOT a requirement, but any amount will help us produce the next festival and will be greatly appreciated! Tax-deductable donations are made through our fiscal sponsor, The San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music.
