Hidden Currents

August 6-29, 2026
This work is a reimagining of the routes of forced migration across the African diaspora- known as the Maafa, or great disaster. For centuries, European and Asian empires trafficked African lives, forcing millions across the Atlantic and beyond. Working with community partners and archival collaborators, golden lionheart collier activates hundreds of field recordings, interviews, and archival audio, weaving together Candomblé devotees, New Orleans Second Line processions, Bomba dancers, ring shouts, field hollers, water drumming, family interviews, and elders speaking of Hoodoo.
Audium V: Rewind
by Stan Shaff, remixed by David Shaff
September 11- 26, 2026
Wonder what Audium sounded like in the late 60s?
Audium V rewinds audiences back to 1969. 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.
Audium V was composed by Stan Shaff on tape in the late 60s. It premiered in 1969 at Audium’s first home, an old lodge hall in San Francisco’s Richmond District. Stan and Doug McEachern (Audium’s co-founder and original system designer) saw the original theater’s 80 speakers as a canvas on which to stretch and shape “sound sculptures.” They were just coming into what would become a defining philosophy: treating sound and space itself as a composable entity.
