The 7th Annual San Francisco Electronic Music Festival
August 10th - August 13th, 2006
Doors open at 8:00pm, Performance at 8:30pm

The 2006 San Francisco Electronic Music Festival consists of four evenings of electrifying performances by internationally recognized artists and musicians in the electronic music field. This year’s impressive line-up features both respected pioneers and emerging artists whose work spans the sonic spectra -- from ambient to rhythmic, from atonal to melodic. As the only San Francisco music festival dedicated solely to electronic music, the SFEMF brings together the varied practices of artists working with laptop generated sound, processed live acoustic instruments, amplified found objects, projected video, improvisation, and performance art.

For this year’s festival, SFEMF has invited a wide-ranging field of artists from across the globe, including the United Kingdom’s Semi-Conductor (in a late-night performance on Saturday at Recombinant Media Labs); Norwegian duo Alog; Mexico City-based sound artist Manuel Rocha; Toronto-based James Tenney; Montreal-based Maxime De La Rochefoucauld; and Los Angeles-based Steve Roden, who will present a piece based on Nam June Paik’s “primitive music” sculpture. SFEMF 2006’s local artists include composer/intermedia artist Elise Baldwin, long tube performer Brenda Hutchinson, multimedia artist Barbara Golden, experimental musician Matt Davignon, sonic explorer Joe Colley and electro-acoustic trio Shudder.
