Audium: Sound Hour offers San Francisco a place to relax in a safe sonic space away from all the noise. This curated, immersive environment takes the listener on a sonic journey throughout San Francisco’s aurally rich landscape
Spring from the loud clatter of the Tenderloin to a remote Baker Beach cave. A familiar afternoon in the Sunset District gives way to an ecstatic celebration in the Mission. Hear birds flitter above, while children laugh and play below. Electronic melodies bump up against each other and burst.
The Sound Hour takes advantage of Audium’s 176-speaker system, allowing for crisp and fully-immersive sound movement. Experience sound scenes that jump off the walls!
From entrance to exit, Audium Sound Hour will massage your senses.
Dave Shaff is an electronic music composer, trumpet player and director of Audium. Born and raised in a household full of strange sounds emanating from the basement (father & composer Stan Shaff the culprit), Dave gained an early appreciation of music and sound of all sorts. Dave has designed and performed three other multichannel compositions for Audium: Audium 10 (2017), Audium 11 (2019), and Sound Hour (2021). He has also remastered Stan Shaff’s Audium V (1969) & Audium VI (1975) for Audium’s modern system.
