SFEMF Announces Plans for 24th Season

This year the 24th Annual San Francisco Electronic Music Festival (SFEMF) will relocate to a new venue. The usual program of three concerts will take place at Gray Area, which will readily accommodate all the necessary technology. According to the advance material I received, the repertoire will include “audiovisual sorcery, live electronics demonstrating lab-coat meticulousness with a punk attitude, real-time generative composition where intention meets entropy, analog-digital live electronic performance systems, and sound created by machine-learning with the intention of eliminating the human in music-making.”

This year there will be three programs, all beginning at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7:30 p.m. Each performance will have three sets as follows:

  1. Friday, November 7: Angélica Negrón, DULL, Leyya Mona Tawill
  2. Saturday, November 8: Julien Bayle, Freida Abtan, Celia Hollander
  3. Sunday, November 9: DADABOTS, Lauren Sarah Hayes, S’hells Gate

The price of the pass for the entire festival will be $50. Single tickets will be sold for $30 with a reduced price of $20 for “community access” tickets. A processing fee will be added. All purchasing options are available through a single Gray Area Web page. The venue is located in the Mission at 2665 Mission Street.
