Abstract
This article discusses the panning of the SoundCulture festival held in 1996 in San Francisco. The festival featured 64 events, including performances, panel sessions, radio broadcasts and receptions for gallery shows. The event also featured 17 installations and gallery works. The article describes the festival as the “third trans-pacific festival of sonic art and contemporary sound practice." The production of the event is described as a “decentralized cooperative model for the funding of large cultural events” and the review praises the “diverse variety of viewpoints, aesthetic styles” of the participants. The review describes Ann Wettrich's "Aviary Commute", a composition invites participants to "turn an ordinary bus ride into an ornithological migration." Participants were asked to meet at the bus station and to bring a portable tape player. The second piece reviewed is Kathy Kennedy's "The Blue Pathway" which created a deep listening environment at the Corte Madera Town Center Mall.
