Hidden Currents draws from golden lionheart collier’s original body of research, The Mother Patch. This work is a reimagining of the routes of forced migration across the African diaspora- known as the Maafa, or great disaster. Working with community partners and archival collaborators, collier activates hundreds of field recordings, interviews, and archival audio, weaving together Candomblé devotees, New Orleans Second Line processions, Bomba dancers, ring shouts, field hollers, water drumming, family interviews, and elders speaking of Hoodoo.

Friday August 28th,  join golden for a intimate question and answer session after the show!

Wonder what Audium sounded like in the late 60s?
Audium V rewinds audiences back to 1969. Find yourself inside an old muscle-car, feel a Pan-American flight fly right through you, and meditate in a cacophony of fog horns. One can only imagine what audiences at that time (54 years ago!) must have thought.

Audium V was composed by Stan Shaff on tape in the late 60s. It premiered in 1969 at Audium’s first home, an old lodge hall in San Francisco’s Richmond District. Stan and Doug McEachern (Audium’s co-founder and original system designer)  saw the original theater’s 80 speakers as a canvas on which to stretch and shape “sound sculptures.” They were just coming into what would become a defining philosophy: treating sound and space itself as a composable entity.
