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.

Head down below, to a place beneath the surface. A place where time slows down, and sonic events unfold with subtle precision and startling intent. The Depths is a sound world that asks for your patience, but where you end up is worth the wait.
Listen as liquid drips & drops land on sluggish synth drones. Horns improvise saturated melodies while flying above you. Wind whips at your front and back.
A contrabass tickles your feet. You are being drawn into The Depths...

An exploration of oscillations and opposites: large-small, organic-synthetic, long-short, familiar-unprecedented, and many more simultaneous layers of vibration. Through the blending of an unusual palette of aural elements (drums, percussion, field recordings, live synthesis/processing, musical themes, resonance, chaotic systems), a variety of moods and states of perception will unfold throughout Audium’s space, along with an invitation to consider the scale and nature of the waves that carry our entire existence.
