The Depths
Fri/Sat in November
Saturdays in December

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.

The Depths is a multichannel sound composition & installation by Dave Shaff. Featuring musical excerpts from the album holistic management by Joel Reber.

Audium V: Rewind
Fridays in December

One of the first Audium compositions, originally premiering in 1969 by Audium co-founder Stan Shaff. 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. 

Now, following in his dad’s footsteps, David Shaff has reworked his father’s sounds for Audium’s current system.
