SAN FRANCISCO TAPE MUSIC FESTIVAL

CALL FOR WORKS

We are seeking acousmatic works to be presented over a multi-speaker system in our next festival.

"Fixed" electroacoustic works in stereo, multi-channel, or ambisonics are welcome. We do NOT program real-time electronics, compositions with live performers, or works with a visual component.

Only ONE submission is allowed per person in one calendar year.

The Deadline for the 2026 Festival is June 1, 2025.
(scroll down to find the submission form, below)

NOTE: Selection criteria is based on the quality of your piece, how well it will fit into our festival program, and how well we like it! Please look at our past festivals for an idea of the music we program. In general, we tend to program acousmatic works, musique concréte, and field recording based works with a striking or unusual narrative. Keyboard based synth, and beat-oriented music is rarely/never programmed. Please keep this in mind when submitting your work. We accept pieces of any length, but please know works shorter than 15 minutes are easier to fit into our programs.

Your donations to the festival production fund are greatly appreciated!

DONATE HERE via PayPal.
