Here's more information about the Festival:
The Sonic Circuits Festival
of Experimental Music (http://dc-soniccircuits.org/) was launched by the
American Composers Forum (ACF) to provide the Washington DC music and
art communities with the opportunity to sample experimental and
avant-garde electronic music, with an emphasis on improvisation and
artistic use of new technologies. Now heading into its ninth year,
ACF’s Washington DC chapter has expanded the Festival’s scope to
include electro-acoustic compositions, free jazz, noise rock,
electronic drone and experimental folk, as well as live video and film
programs, presented year round.
