Call for Sounds
Musicians and Sound Artists of all kinds are invited
to contribute installations, improvisations and
performances to an event to be held Saturday, May 3rd
beginning at noon. This event will be a music circus
in celebration of the closing of the 6th Annual Music
for People and Thingamajigs festival, a yearly
selection of tunings not traditionally western, made
and found instruments, environments and people.
The location of the music circus will be the
intersection of Market and Castro streets and the
surrounding hills (Twin Peaks, Buena Vista Park, and
the hill with the Randall Museum on it) from which
sound will be directed towards this intersection or
difused throughout space. Action will begin at noon
and can be as subtle or overt as the performers wish.
Already planned are performances by Dylan Bolles,
Edward Schocker, and Liz Albee. Jorge Boehringer will
be installing his work Shelter on several hilltops,
and other installations are planned by Kristin Miltner
and others.
To participate please send a description of your idea
for performance or installation and your preferred
location (so we can insure a wide distribution of
activities). Of course, you can always just show up
and play and that is alright too. In any case please
contact sevencentralandmountain@ yahoo.com for more
details. Topographic maps of the area are availiable

and roadmaps of market and castro are widely
